What two girls can do in a day...

We have lived in our house for almost exactly a year and why we didn't do this when we first moved in boggles my mind. Especially since the transformation cost $20 for the the can of paint and only took a day to do. On top of all that a girlfriend and I did it while my husband was at work...so we didn't even need any brawn!

So this is what we lived with for a year...the awning is just awful...the giant bush makes the house look lopsided and the brush on the other side is the remainder of little trees we cut down in the fall. The overall effect is not so cute.

Just taking the awning down makes such a difference! I hate who whoever put it up in the first place because all of the screws holding it in place were all stripped. It was a slow process getting them out but oh it was worth it. And let me tell you how fun it was shoving that gross awning into mid air...so fun that we decided that we should probably go into the demolition business because it such a blast!
