Curb Appeal Ideas: A ROCK RIVER

Curb appeal is important to me, because I like to get that warm feeling in my chest every time I return home and glimpse my house from the street. Here are a few simple ideas that I implemented to make my home beautiful on the outside. If you would like to see my other 11 ideas, please read my full article.

Materials

	For the window boxes, either buy ready made ones or use old wood to construct your own. I have another posting on Paintideas.com, where I talk about how I made the windowboxes
	For the ROCK RIVER you'll need sacks of rocks from your home improvement store, or rocks collected in your yard or nearby forest.
	RUST-OLEUM spray paints: several shades of blues

Project Steps

	For the rock river, you'll want to spread the rocks in a meandering line somewhere in your garden, as if they were flowing. And make sure to increase the width of your rock river as you go, since our eye is used to seeing things diminishing in size the farther they are.
	Using RUST-OLEUM spray paints, spray your rock river, weaving the three shades of blue together. The trick is to make one of the blues the most dominant, then add streaks of the lighter or darker blues, as if the sun or depth of the river is changing its shade.
	When finished, you can line your river with a row of dark rocks, to create a faux riverbank.
	Finally, if you can find a small bridge in a garage sale or a flea market, buy it! Paint the bridge with RUST-OLEUM wood paints, or Metallic paint (for a metal finish).
