No,  I’m not talking about my hair color! I’m actually talking about mulch…..planning on doing a little landscaping and gardening clean up this weekend now that its not supposed to rain anymore (woohoo!) and I’m trying to figure out If I want to make the switch from red cedar mulch to a more calming and organic brown.

This is what our front landscaping looked like last summer when we bought our house:

I really want to work on creating a more cohesive look this spring…it’s looking a bit random if you ask me.

While I think the red  is nice, I’m kinda thinking this is a little bit too much of a good thing, especially next to our very red house. Since most of our plants are relatively young and aren’t fully grown,  we have a ton of  empty space and exposed mulch. (some of which I’m hoping to fill in with a few more plants.)  I’m thinking a more neutral and natural brown would look so much better!
