Curb Appeal – Summer Homes
Don’t call the cops if you see a strange lady walking her dog and snapping pics of your house …
it’s just me.
My neighborhood is filled with so much curb appeal – here are some of my faves from my summer walks.
It’s amazing what personality you can get with a brightly colored front door.
Love the unusual dormer.
This house is actually a few apartments – I’d love to get my grubby little hands on it and turn it back into a single family home.
Last month I drove by this house and screeched to a halt when I saw all that peony amazingness!
What’s your favorite house?

On your succulent post, what is the best way to take the different plants out of a container that they came in (a terra cotta bowl)? It seems like there are pebbles that are somehow glued on top of the soil.
Hi Candy – I think the nursery glues the stones on top so they don’t come loose during shipping – but that makes it hard to water! Try taking the plant out of the pot and prying the glued stone layer by bending it up and down until it breaks off. Hope that helps!
Wow those are so lovely! What a great idea to snap pictures of amazing home while walking.
Beautiful! Please tell me, what are the little things sticking up from the edge of the roof on the third house (the brick one)? I saw something like that on old houses in Virginia but couldn’t find any information about it. What are they for?
Hi Jen – those are called snow birds – and they are to stop snow from falling off roofs in sheets.
I should add that I’ve only ever lived in central California in ranch houses, so please forgive me if the above is an obvious or ignorant question!
Thanks For Your valuable posting, it was very informative.
