So let's see if this is the magic trick that sells the house. Not the granite counter tops; not the exterior paint job; not the neutralizing of the living and dining room walls, but adding a flower box under the window. Here you see the before, and below you see the after:
Amazing, right? You can't believe your eyes? Instant dollars in the bank? Maybe not. Or maybe we should reserve judgement until I actually plant (is it considered planting?) flowers in it. I'm saving that task until we're 100% ready to go back on the market, though, because plants and such have about a 14-day life cycle under my care. Does the flower box look a little small to you? Is flower box even the right word for whatever those things are?
A globe light on the side porch: so what, right? The truth of the matter is that we've lived in this house for five years with just a naked lightbulb serving as our "light fixture" on the side porch (kind of like we lived with a garage light in our kitchen until someone asked "why do you have a garage light in your kitchen?"). The globe is nothing special, but it's more special than what was there before. I think it was worth the $12 (and the little shock that Alex got while installing it).
