New House Projects & Landscaping: Exterior Home Makeover – Our Arizona Fixer Upper

We recently purchased a fixer-upper in Arizona and have been working hard to make it our own. We wanted to give the exterior of the house a complete makeover, so we decided to tackle some new house projects and landscaping. We wanted to create a beautiful outdoor space that we could enjoy for years to come.

Planning the Exterior Home Makeover

The first step in our exterior home makeover was to plan out what we wanted to do. We wanted to create a space that was inviting and comfortable, but also low-maintenance. We decided to focus on landscaping and outdoor living areas. We wanted to create a space that was both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Landscaping

We started by creating a plan for the landscaping. We wanted to create a space that was both inviting and low-maintenance. We decided to focus on native plants and drought-tolerant plants. We also wanted to create a space that was inviting to wildlife, so we included a variety of native plants that would attract birds and butterflies.

Outdoor Living Areas

Once we had the landscaping planned out, we moved on to creating outdoor living areas. We wanted to create a space that was comfortable and inviting. We decided to add a patio, a fire pit, and a seating area. We also added a few planters to add some color and texture to the space.

Lighting

We also wanted to add some lighting to the space. We decided to add some solar-powered lights to the patio and seating area. We also added some string lights to the fire pit area to create a cozy atmosphere.

Finishing Touches

Once we had the landscaping and outdoor living areas planned out, we moved on to the finishing touches. We added some outdoor furniture and accessories to the space. We also added some decorative elements, such as a trellis and a few planters.

The Final Result

After months of hard work, our exterior home makeover was complete. We were thrilled with the final result. We now have a beautiful outdoor space that we can enjoy for years to come.
