Forgive me for forgoing the free stuff for a minute -- I haven't been in Enid for quite a few weeks and I'm running out of photos (but, never fear, I'm going this weekend)!
In my free time (ha!) I have a little side business called Upstage. I stage houses that are for sale and optimize houses for people who are staying put. It's great fun! Mostly what I do is furnish EMPTY houses that are for sale.
Every once in a while I get a chance to do one of my very favorite things: a curb appeal makeover! This post features a curb appeal makeover I got to do recently. We didn't do it up completely (for example, it wasn't in the budget to repaint the whole exterior) but this shows how much difference a little paint (on the door and the new porch rails) and polish and COLOR can make!

| Porch Before |
 |
| Porch with new rails, new red door, new mailbox, new house numbers, and new porch light. This picture just makes me HAPPY! |
 |
| Carport Before |
 |
| Carport with lattice removed and jazzed up with a couple of red Adirondack chairs! Don't you just want to sit a spell?   Here, for your appreciation, is a shot of the old mailbox, storm door, astroturf, and "No Soliciting" sign.  I also spray painted the old brass doorbell with bronze to subdue it's outdated shininess a bit! |

| Front facade before. |
 |
| Front facade after (with quite a bit of help from the landscapers)! Next idea: red wooden shutters! |
Many thanks to Cheri for letting me play with her mama's house and for trusting the vision in my head!
