Before and after - Front of the house

Since some of you have been asking to see photos of our new house, I thought I'd start posting before and after photos as I finish up different parts of the house.

Front of the house

Before

After

We didn't really do all that much with the front,but we did get rid of the hideous cactus, and thanks to my mom's idea, it didn't cost a single dollar. I posted an ad on craig's list for a free cactus with the condition that it had to be removed. Brilliant!
