Our Home and Garden Renovation | Toward a Shizen Style Home

Here is a before and after of our home and garden renovation. We found a unique home nestled in the woods, but it is a big fixer-upper. This is part of our journey of turning this house from 1900 into a modern rustic shizen style home, which is one where you can appreciate nature year round.
The exterior house paint we used Valspar from Lowes. It was a Flat/exterior, Valspar Duramax exterior paint + primer.

A ton of beautiful established rhododendron and ferns. And that wonderful magnolia that my wife would dream of owning. I'm in the MI and just planted my first 6 on my primarily wooded oak and white pine forest lot. I love your pathway through the groundcover as well. I know you just started but it looks like you've come a long way already. Congrats.

Hey Josh: Just returned from Japan and found your channel (and your website) while researching Japanese Gardens. It did't take long into the video to realize that I know the house. I live down the road approaching CC and always wondered what was on the other side of that foot bridge. Great to see what you're doing wiith the to apply Shizen principles to my own lifestyle as I transition into retirement over the next couple years. Would love to chat over a beer. GO BILLS!
