I'm thinking a picket fence, with a scaloped wave to the top, and a gate in the center of the front of the lawn, with an arch with morning glories growing over it, and a stone pathway, ...have you seen the movie "Father of the bride"? That is what I'm picturing...keeping lawn for the kids, but making the appeal nicer from the street. Shutters painted, and planter boxes (homemade is much cheaper!)...under the windows, and a red door with two potted trees on either side of the door. Don't forget you can get creative with where the house number goes (above the door for example), and a nice wreath. have you ever made a living wreath? (ie. succulent wreath)! good luck!<br />-Brittany<br />http://lifeyasadiywifey.blogspot.com/Mrs. Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15395224108306085660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5186908647179906112.post-20288644949087557822010-11-17T14:19:59.311-06:002010-11-17T14:19:59.311-06:00K...I know NOTHING about Midwest zones for plantin...K...I know NOTHING about Midwest zones for planting. I would recommend removing the fence though. I also think your house would look very nice with a darker roof; still painted white with black shutters and a Cardinal red front door. I would also possibly add some sort of front porch or portico to add depth to the front of the house. I'd remove all those existing shrubs and start over if it was me! :)carolinagirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06106204539384188842noreply@blogger.com
