Our New Home - Exterior

Last week, I shared photos of the inside (upstairs/downstairs) of our new/old house in Nashville. Today, let's take a look around the outside. This is the part where I'll be honest with myself. My dream house has always been a craftsman-style bungalow. Certainly not a Tudor revival. In fact, I remember hating Tudor-style homes as a child, but hey, I was only a child. What did I know?! Despite the fact that this wasn't exactly the house of my dreams, I still think it's pretty darn cute, with loads of potential for even more cuteness with a little TLC. I mean, there's a freakin' window box (if broken)! Read on for lots more pics.

Man, oh, man. Do those shrubs need a haircut or what?!

And this front door is just begging for some color, no?

This right here is probably the biggest change for us...a yard! Somebody's gonna have to learn how to mow grass (and it ain't me!). There's a great deck that could definitely use a little work (and maybe a step).

Finally, there's even a little arbor with a grape vine. I'm such a sucker for crap like this.

What do you think? Do you see the same potential that I do? If not, I've been pinning some inspiration over here.
