Flowers always make a home seem more welcoming. Adorn your entrance with assorted annuals and perrenials to keep color year long. Petunia, Snapdragon, Lily-of-the-Nile, and 'Gertrude Jekyl' roses are great additions.
If you have a small space beetween your house and the street, try putting a low fence in front. It gives the illusion that your house is farther from the street than it really is, and it also makes for a great space for planting flowers and vines.

I love to see small white picket fences in front of houses, even if they do nothing but add a decorative touch. There is something that is so warm about a fenced in front yard. I especially like the ones that have Ivy vines intertwined.

I love white picket fences, but they are not for every house, I mean, it depends on the neighborhood, but if we were to live in a neighborhood where private property is respected then I'd love to try something like this:

That's a neat use of the bikes. I like it when different objects are re purposed as plant holders. I have re purposed items into plant holders but in a more 'typical' way: metal watering can containing flowers, old tires with plants coming through the center, and indoor trash cans used as plant holders.

The front landscaping is the prettiest part of our front yard. :) It has a beautiful shape to it and is filled with flowers, shrubs and beautiful plants. We have a garden flag and some stepping stones as well. It's simple but clean and pretty. We get compliments all the time on our front lawn. Makes me proud. :) It's the first thing people see when you walk by and it want it to be meaningful. :)

Proud!!
Danyel :)
