Very stately, but a gentle curve is more inviting every time.

The red pavers are out of place.

I think it looks great - love the garden landscaping!

Wow! I thought the house itself was ho-hum in the first photo and then really nice in the "after." It's amazing what nice landscaping can do!

Lovely! Great use of terracing. Thanks for widening the shutters - this is a great example of why the skinny ones do not work. The smaller oval window over the front door is a big improvement too. While I am also a fan of a curving walkway, this straight on approach works well with this home.

Awesome job! The new brick drive and walk look great and the landscaping look great. It all adds so much appeal. Great job!

Love the shutter and garage door color and think all the changes create a cohesive look - great job!

Not the same house at all. Check out the oval window and architectural element over the front door in the second photo. Looks like some serious photoshopping.
