Belgard Photo Shoot 2.0

Nearly 2 years ago I posted about the Belgard catalog photo shoot that we had at our Creekside Custom (last custom home). Once again, we used Belgard's beautiful products for all of the hardscapes at our Creekside Keeper (newest custom home).

Catalog photo shoot!

We worked with an amazing company called Stone Deck Texas, for all of the hardscapes for this house. And let me say, there were LOTS of them.

Our house sits on half an acre and the bulk of it is in the front yard. The large front yard combined with several… Continue reading Curb Appealed.

Exterior paint!

Our house has been pretty on the inside for quite some time now. The exterior has been a whole different story though. The previous owner's wife was apparently a big fan of blue, hence the blue carpet throughout the house when we bought it and the lovely blue trim and shutters on the outside of… Continue reading Exterior paint!
