It’s been 1 year – one busy year -- since we took possession of our house in Costa Rica. The sprucing up began with the exterior (photo 1 is "after"). New paint – a little brighter color green with contrasting trim for the exterior. We painted and planted the front planters, and added window-box planters to the windows along the side of the house. One drastic change was the front yard approach. Originally, the driveway area came into the yard directly in line with the front door. We moved hibiscus hedges from one part of the yard and filled in the original drive making the new drive in line with the side of the house. This provides privacy for the front porch as well as a better view from there. A double gate was also added to the driveway and several plants were moved and transplanted. “Glassless wooden window panes” were added to each window – adding charm and increasing security without blocking air flow.
