[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]change the light fixtures - modern homes tend to have one on either side of the the door rather than one.  change house numbers.

update your landscaping - do you have old boxwoods and holly that have lost their shape and have holes/gaps? similarly azaleas aren't a popular plant to have in the front yard anymore - I moved mine to the back.  find a way to have a more cohesive look.[/quote]

Dear Lord, you redecorate because of what's "popular"? Popularity in the plant world is not high-stakes, PP. 99.9% of people go with what's there already, or what they prefer to see outside their window. A few have an eye for color and understand that red brick goes with green foliage, fall colors and practically nothing else. Let's hope you guys have maples in the front, pines/spruces, boxwoods, etc. Or white cherry trees, white magnolias, white camellias. Don't murder our eyes and do pink flowers on a red brick background.[/quote]

Haha.  Very passionate.  I like my pink azaleas against red brick.  [/quote]
