Before And After

 Just to show how busy I've been, I've decided to show you some before and after shots of my front porch. Or I can call it, 'Can You Find The Differences?'

BEFORE


AFTER
And just in case you can't find the hardest one of all, a different after photo

Good luck with your guesses, winner wins the personal self gratification that they were able to notice all my hard work.
P.S. chalk drawings on the concrete are creations of my granddaughter. Well except the snow people, that's the limited of my talents with chalk.

      Yes paint but there are other things added to make the porch different.

      Oh, yeah... the decorative things at the top of the beams, too. I did note the plants, but didn't figure that was what you were talking about.

    new white chair painted from brown, new flower pots by door. The wreath on the door is also different. The plantings on the left seems different too. Something big and white in the after.The bunny is facing the other direction too on the right side. That's all I got. :-) i'm at work.

      Correct on the chairs, the flower pots were there, it's the flowers have grown in them. The plantings on the left have grown too. The big and white you see is my tree blooming. The bunny is facing a different direction thanks to me breaking one of it's ears off (and glued it back on). Wreath on the door is the same, BUT I did add a patriotic ribbon to it (I won it at bunko and didn't know what else to do with it). Funny thing is what I spent the most time (and money) on, no one notices until I point it out :o(

    Noticed the chairs immediately, and the growth with the potted plants and garden plants, the change with the wreath, and the flag has changed.
    Busy lady! The chairs make a huge difference. The whole welcoming and attractive facade of your lovely home looks marvellous Bonnie!

      Thanks Rose! I'm trying for farm house country on my front porch but I have to sigh when no one notices the things that I've done to improve the look.

    Wow so it has been a busy summer. The white chairs def. look much better and since many have spot the differences I wont bother repeating them. Specially love the decorative corners on the roof. Kids being at home I too have been busy that is why I have not blogged much either.
