Bastards
What my old house looked like when I bought it in 2004:
Aaaaand what it looks like right now under "new management":
Somehow they made it even uglier.

Everytime I see this I curse the fact that we have an HOA.
The only thing I object to is the lime green garage door; everything else is eye-meltingly awesome.
Did they xeriscape the lawn?
See previous posts about the new homeowners and how much they suck. I'm not gonna claim that I made the house pretty--its former Navy paint scheme never looked nice--but I definitely improved the ol' curb appeal with some landscaping. There is no such thing as "xeriscaping" in Eugene since pretty much everything grows there and basically no one has plain ol' lawns. It's a gardening paradise. And no, the new homeowners did not do shit to the lawn besides kill it. I am the one who planted the japanese maples, rosemary, lavender, hydrangea, succulents, and lilacs while nursing the rhododendrons back to health. They somehow managed to kill most of these off. In Oregon. Where everything grows. Wait no, they also managed to plant an "organic garden"--with an actual sign in the front yard proclaiming as much--in what is probably leaded soil. In Oregon. Where everything grows. And, might I add, everyone gardens. Not sure why they needed to have a sign out there. They also ripped out the tall, mature hedge plants on the south side of the house that protected it from afternoon summer sun. As for that front porch: if you're going to put something like that out, at least extend the roofline. I would've if I'd been willing to spend the money. The roof needs replacing anyway. And if you like that color combination, it might be because you've been living in monotone HOA neighborhoods for most of your life. It's still a hideous combination, even for Eugene.
I liked the new color :)
Good luck.

Looks like your house went from looking male to female! Drastic transformation alright!
