Dirt Yard Gets Colorful Facelift

Jennifer and John moved into their first home together two years ago as newlyweds. They have done lots of detailing on the inside of the house but the outside is very plain and the yard is literally a field of weeds. Designer Shannon Mitchell and landscaper Cody Schrey have created a classic, elegant, modern design with colorful accents to make the house stand out from the others on the block.

Here are the highlights of their update:

• Install new garage door
  
• Install and paint new front door
  
• Replace brick on stairs and facade of house with slate tile
  
• Replace trim and molding around doors and windows
  
• Install new lights, door hardware
  
• Paint trim and molding
  
• Mosaic table and house numbers
  
• Landscaping
