Curb Appeal Makeovers

[Rex Perry]

Southern Living has a new column launching in the October 2009 issue called Dear Southern Living. Architect Hoyte Johnson will select a photograph of a reader's home each month and draw an exterior makeover plan. If your home needs more curb appeal, we'd love to see photographs taken of the front facade along with a short note telling us a little about your home. We can't complete the makeover, but Hoyte can start you on the steps to finding the hidden charm in your home.

This is the best idea I have seen so far. Many of us can't see out side the box
on how to make something pleasing to the eye.
I can't wait to see Hoyte Johnson's artistic talent yet wish it wasn't so late in the year. Once the seed is planted, I would love to put it too action.

If you'd rather mail a snapshot of the front facade of your home, please send a small photo quality print to:

Dear Southern Living

Ideally, the photo should be taken from directly in the front of your home and show the complete front facade.
