A home’s exterior is its visual welcome — and, ideally, a reassuring sight when you return from a long day. Thankfully, it’s also something you can improve if you’re not quite happy with it. If you’ve made enhancements to boost your home’s curb appeal, we’d love to see.

Calling all Houzzers: Grab your camera and snap your best photo of your home’s exterior — we’d love to see both a crisp “before” and a clean “after” shot. Upload your photos to the Comments below, and you may see them in an upcoming editorial feature.

A beautiful walkway. Has shaping the entry path to your home elevated its curb appeal? We’d love to see the change with a set of before-and-after photos.

A charming door. Has a pot of paint or a new front door helped your home look more inviting? We’d love to see the difference it made. Please share your before-and-after shots in the Comments.

The perfect window color. Sometimes choosing the right accent color for a detail like the windows can take a house from meh to magnificent. If you’ve used your windows to make your home shine, we’d love to see the result.

Wallace Landscape Associates

An inviting landscape. Beautiful landscaping can turn a house with good bones into a truly welcoming sight, as it does here, where greenery lines the path, and a layer of red flowers accents the house itself.

Your turn: We’d love to see how you’ve improved your home’s exterior. Please take your best shots and include a “before” shot too. Your home could be featured in an upcoming story on Houzz!

In 1960 my in-laws purchased land and built their “dream
home”. The raised three children here (the
middle child being my husband). After
they passed away, my husband and I decided to put our blood and sweat in to the
house to make it our “dream home”. We
are still working on the finishing touches, but enjoying every minute.
