The online contest to improve the curb appeal of a home in Meaford has now closed. I’m delighted to report that I received five fabulous entries that came from as close as Collingwood to as far away as San Diego, California and Cabarete in the Dominican Republic. None of these five brave souls are home designers but each one has proven they have an eye for curb appeal. They have generously taken the time to contemplate and then apply their creativity to the picture, all of which takes time and a good dose of courage. So, to each of you, thank-you and please know that in my books, each one of you is a winner!
So now it is up to you to decide which entry you think deserves to win. Here’s how this works. Below each picture is a number. At the bottom of this post is the poll where you can cast your vote anytime up until one week from today. At that point, I think we’ll get some feedback from the home owner as well. So, go ahead and vote now.

Good luck to all fellow contestants
and Marg, thank you for everything!
May the owners of the house live happily ever after despite the fairies godmothers efforts to change with their magic wand the house’s dress colour: “-Pink!” “-No. Should be blue!” …”-Pink!” …”-Blue!” …
