Before and After Wednesday

Hello World!  Today I have some great inspiration for you.  I was so amazed when sweet Rachel from Maison de Pax sent this fantastic Before and After over to me.  My jaw is now back up off of the floor.  Now, it is your turn to have your jaw drop to the floor.  Here is a little teaser.  
Gorgeous!  

Now, let's see what she was working with.

Now the house wasn't the only thing that got the Rachel touch.  The yard was revamped as well.  

Here is a little breakdown of what went down at Maison de Pax.  They added exterior sconces, repainted the exterior, new gutters, new front beds, sprinkler system, and added a new motor to the electric gate for the driveway.  

What an undertaking.  Let's sigh some more. 



To hear more of the story and to hear about the future plans she has for her house, pop on over to Maison de Pax and say hello to Rachel and her pretty house. 

If you have any before and after projects that you would love to get featured, email them to thededicatedhouse@gmail.com and in the subject line, please put Before and After Wednesday.  It can be any before and after: gardening, furniture redo, room makeover, complete renovation, sewing repurpose.  Anything with a before and after.

Make it Pretty Monday has some great inspiration.  Click here to go check it out.  And, don't forget about the Anything Blue Friday party.  I'm having a hard time picking features!  

Anyhoo, wishing all a happy day and remember to be kind to one another!  Fear Not! 

Toodles,
Kathryn

  12. Curb appeal is so important to a home.. after all, it's the very first impression people will have of your home! The work done on this really updated it and brought it back to life. I will be heading down that same road soon. You see, we bought a charming 1909 cottage that needs some little touches to make it sing. I can't wait to get started! Thanks for sharing some inspiration!
