Hi friends! Happy Sunday and have a blessed week! ♥Thanks so much to Homeaglow for sponsoring today’s video! Head to www.homeaglow.com/Youngladybusiness to get your first 3 hours of cleaning for only $19!

I luh the Homeaglow. Help without the guilt of asking a loved one

[@Mrsquick]

Hi Kayla! This video had me balling my eyes out in the beginning. Seeing you, mom, and granny gave me so much joy! I truly miss my mom and granny dearly. ❤ If you haven't done so, you ladies should definitely have photos taken of the 3 of you. 😊 As for the door, I think the color is fine. Change the wreath that would be your pop of color contrast. Love how beautiful and big your hydrangeas have gotten. 😊

[@dianahowell8131]

Your hydrangeas needs watering. The leaves appear to be drooping and you should add some slow release fertilizer like Espoma Plant tone. Sprinkle around the drip line or perimeter of the plant, scratch it into the soil and water it in. I’m sure all your bushes need to be fertilized. Be careful pruning blooming bushes so you don’t cut off the blooms for that year. Prune gardenias after the last bloom. Looks like your front is shade so when choosing plants for your window boxes, be sure they all have the same light requirements; shade or part shade. I don’t believe there is enough sun for the gardenias on that side because of the tree and your front is shady. You can dig them up and plant them in your flower bed in the back. The door looks good as is but you could use a darker shade of the same color for more color. Purchase a more vivid wreath. You will definitely make it beautiful.

[@chafrajayfra32]

Definitely if you don’t like the door change it. You should feel great and it should put a smile on your face when you drive up.

Was beautiful feeling watching 3 generations of ladies working together

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

aww thank you! i cherish these moments!! 🤗

[@Tonia828]

That's what came to my mind as well, I was going to say the very same thing! (Just wanted to add, about the color of your front door, pull one of the colors from your nook in your entryway where the bench is, from the beautiful wallpaper the door color will tie together and bring the outdoors indoors).

[@jnicholexo]

Brought tears to my eyes!

[@LuxSpaBarllc]

Hello Marcus and Kayla, are you saving your leaves to mulch and for compost? Leaves are a great weed barrier for a food garden

[@ashleywilliams4149]

@@LuxSpaBarllc You took the words out of my mouth. Those leaves are gold for her compost.

[@lisalovett5902]

I love the look of the door. Being very colorful is great, but painting your door to match your shutters is a very subtle way of saying I no longer have to scream I have arrived because I am already here. You can always add some color with a wreath. You, Marcus, your mom, and grandmother did a great job.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

@@lisalovett5902 thank you boo! 🫶🏾 Marcus loves it as well so we’ve decided to keep it for the rest of summer and revisit the idea in the fall

[@TMAda593]

I agree. It’s a great backdrop for bold colorful wreaths throughout the seasons.

[@adriannehamilton2866]

Owning a house 🏠 is a blessing and it's so nice to see young people taking pride and care of your investment. So a house becomes a home. So happy for y'all. The support of your family is another, amazing blessing. Great job 👏🏾😊.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Such a sweet comment! Thank you so much ♥️ we try our best!

Three generations ❤️ what a blessing!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

🥹🫂 biggest blessing!

[@Debra-OK1955]

Beautiful ❤

[@anitajackson6812]

I think the door looks fine it matches the shutters. What about a more colorful wreath? The wreath is dull. It's summertime try a wreath with yellow in it. Something brighter that makes the gray door pop.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Okay I’m gonna try that! The wreath just isn’t hitting like how it was last year lol 🙃 thank you!

[@lifewithquitab]

I agree! The door is beautiful, just needs a colorful wreath! MAYBE a rug (that matches the season or Holiday coming up)

[@divadena6563]

Your house is beautiful! A black door would make it look elegant and classy. Love seeing your mom and grandma helping out. Marcus is a great husband.

[@TippyKira]

It is such a blessing to see three generations of women working in the yard together. In harmony. May God bless you your mom and grandmom.

[@dorisgreen2416]

So happy to see you continue to carry the tradition of allowing the elders to contribute their wisdom and knowledge. What a blessing!!!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Yesss! You’re totally right! It’s a tradition 🫂🫶🏾

[@brandysnell8107]

Y'all need to put a pressure washer on your list of things to buy...cuts down so much time!!!

[@patsygoddard2791]

Give the front door a pop of color. Maybe a Sunny Yellow 😊

[@naturalelation1631]

I was thinking yellow as well

[@jackiecarter2641]

Yellow is such a pop of color and inviting

[@knowchrissiechavers7642]

Absolutely yellow, I was thinking the same thing.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Beautiful!! Okay! That’s at the top of my list!!

[@nicolesommers173]

Yes I vote this color too!

[@DG-wr2nm]

Cut the longer hydrangeas down so the the rest of the plant can get sunlight and air circulation thru the plant. As far as the gardenia bushes prune some of the branches a little. This will make them bloom. Under the tree plant shade plants like hostas and monkey grass. Also the ants and spiders could becoming from the hay you're putting down. Try spraying around boarder of house, windows and gutters to prevent this. Ortho Home Defense does well.

[@shannonbrown3493]

Hey Kayla! I think that the area where you were talking about expanding the pine straw would make a great outdoor seating area. Because your front yard is so large, away from the street, & and there's lots of shade there, it would be perfect. I would consider a small pergola with a bench or 2 chairs added & a potted plant on either side.

[@Klove514]

I love the work and the family time you guys put in!!! Maybe a wreath with a pop of color instead of changing the door color? I think it looks beautiful but we all know how you love color. Hence the green car!!! I was so happy to see her and her green glory! 🥰😂🥰😂

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

@@Klove514 thank you boo! Yall are right! The wreath is a little dull this time around!

Hello Kayla and Marcus. Typically, I'd refresh my front/back yard areas up every season. ❣️

[@alee9961]

Your home has great Curb Appeal! I love the door color as is. It's elegant and cohesive with the rest of the front. As for the chair, can you see if placing it next to the house and move the planter in front of the chair. Basically, just swapping them. 😊

[@ramonapinckney4247]

The yard and house look great! I love the progress from day one until now. You and Marcus are a great couple ❤. Love seeing 3 generations together enjoying each other ❤❤❤

[@xitsmedianax]

U should go with black for the door to match the door trim. And use a wreath that would compliment the flowers in front. 🥰 But whatever color u choose will look great. I still suggest u should definitely put up a wreath.

[@caroljones4346]

I think the door color is very pretty and matches the shutters. Colorful summer wreath will brightened the door. The chair is a cute touch.

[@Breezy54759w]

Great job Kayla. ❤ I think Black Shutters and Red, Yellow or Teal Front Door. The shutters get lost on your house and so it loses the Wow factor. Whatever you pick, let it be as vibrant as your personality 😊

[@2fareal]

Your home is so beautiful I’ve been following you since you all moved in! It’s incredible and so inspirational what you as a married couple have done! I pray many blessings ahead for you both!❤ I have a fixer upper too but it’s the home I grew up in! Praying that I can make it over as my own peaceful and beautiful like yours❤

[@madelinemarrero4672]

The front looks beauiful. I can see a pop of color on the door but I love it with the grey. You can just add lots of colors through wreath, flowers and door rug. Yes remove the chair you can always add a small stool maybe clear. Extending the garden by the shaded areas great idea. Your house looks very cottage and I love it. God bless you, your hubby, your fur baby, your family and home

[@savannal5938]

The front door looks calm and inviting, I think it’s perfect

[@JaneTaylor-u4z]

I’m so proud of you guys as young people. I had my daughter watching your show, and we enjoyed every minute of it, fighting over what color door you should get. You have a big beautiful house and yard, you’re doing the right thing in taking your time doing a little at a time. You’re also saving a ton load of money doing and fixing, and painting and scrubbing, digging and planting. What a blessing to have grandma in the mix. Can’t say enough how proud I am of you guys. Marcus doesn’t say much but he does a lot. Blessings and more blessings

[@lane89]

I love pops of color so the door popping is always gonna be a vibe. ❤

Generational blessings!!!!!! Love the door and the gray, hydrangeas are lovely. Hoping the yellow leaves don’t increase. Great makeover…

[@visualvibezz]

The house looks nice. I'm feeling the green for the door, but even if you worked maroon, peach or even a summer blue to make the flowers in the window boxes pop, that would be dope too! i love your channel, Stay consistent

[@diamondperidot]

3 generations is a true Blessing. I remember doing things with my Grandmother, Mother and Aunts and Great Aunts.

[@rosalindguy4043]

Your Mom And Grandmother did an excellent job with the planters. Do a YELLOW or Emerald Green Door!

[@JulyMoon82]

I'm fully on board with a nice green door.

[@tracycline4167]

Hey Kayla girl. Have you ever thought about day lillies in your front beds? They are beautiful and they come back every year. Also they spread so you can split them up every 2 seasons or so and put them all over your property. So beautiful.

[@deest9]

I really liked the door color. Actually, when you showed that first view of the home after cleaning and trimming the bushes, I thought this is such a pretty home.

[@chloevealforreal]

What a beautiful transformation. I live the hanging ivy in the window boxes! 💚 I say you should make the front door a light yellow. That would be cute

[@Mominna2314]

Kayla you and Marcus are such an inspiration. Your home is lovely and inviting. Watching you, I always feel like working on things DIY for my grandmother"s home. Lately I almost began feeling overwhelmed and sad. She is 94 yo and has dementia now. I am her caregiver. She was always a DIY and enjoyed carpentry. I just realized I learned from watching her. Watching you with your mom and grandmother made me realize I should start choosing DIY projects my Grand can still do. I grabbed a H&G magazine with a livingroom I was going to copy for her and showed her two color versions. I was shocked but loved that she chose the bold colored room instead of the mostly white. She even assured me that she can copy a painting she admired in the inspiration room.Thank you and Marcus for sharing. I'm going to have Grand start watching your channel with me. Been a super fan since you painted your car. BTW please fill that entryway vase with some of your beautiful real hydrangea blooms and save the fakes for later.😂🎉

Yall did a beautiful job! Someone suggested adding a wreath to the door. I think that’s a good idea. Also maybe a no dig garden for where the grass isn’t growing on the left side would work 😊 I have a similar problem where grass isn’t growing so I’m planning to do a no dig flower garden

[@foxxlewis8026]

This was great! The progress on the home has been mindblowing. Stay awesome❣️🏡

[@nighclothing137]

Loving the refresh for sure. I think you should pick a color from your favorite flower and paint the door. Right now I’m obsessed with sunflowers so I painted our door sunflower yellow 🥰

[@peacebalance8067]

Not new, just clean! It looks so good. The flower beds have come a long way and grown well. Great choices! All the things you are doing weve done too. We started early spring. A power washer is a great thing. I washed my windows and finally put out some triple shred black mulch. We live north though. Everything looks great though...even the door.

[@demarisalexander1813]

Hi Kayla, I like the exterior makeover. 🤩👍🏼 It was a blessing to have your Mom and Grandmom lend a hand in the makeover. The planter boxes look nice. 👍🏼 I agree with you about the door color. Although the gray looks nice, it doesn't make a statement. Choosing a color that will give it pizazz will definitely add to the exterior makeover. And make it stand out. I'm sorry I don't have a color suggestion. 🤔 But I'm sure whatever color you choose will be a perfect choice. 🤩 Kayla+Marcus=An AWESOME DIY TEAM!!! I've said it before and will say it again, "Y'ALL ROCK!!" 😃👏🏽💜😃👏🏽💜😃👏🏽💜😃👏🏽💜😃👏🏽💜 Take care. Much love. 💜🙏🏽💜🙏🏽

Kayla and Marcus, you all did it again! Great job…Everything looks so fresh and clean. I like the grey door. However, I see where it is not highlighting that new door. I follow another KZbinr and her outside home color is also white trimmed in black like yours. She painted the door Behr rejuvenation and it looks great…a sage green in color. Also she added several terra cotta planters going down the steps by the front door. That pop of color with the pots looks amazing. You could try that to take the color to the next level. Waiting to see what you do! Happy Summer!

Beautiful job. Everything looks lovely. You need to water your hydrangeas and other plants every other day and use some miracle grow on them. Once you water the hydrangeas you will see home the leaves spring up. They love water especially since they are in the Georgia sun. Enjoy your beautiful home and keep up the good work. ❤🙏🏿

[@tinagardner7150]

Paint the door like a colonial red or something close to that a green wood blend in with the bushes and greenery the red would pop. Just my appinion. Everything you do looks amazing. I love to see people work on bettering their home. Especially young people. If you start young it only gets better. You guys are amazing! I love the variety of flowers in the window boxes. Working with your mom and grandma is amazing. I lost my grandmother awhile ago and mother last year. My l world has changed. May you be blessed as long as possible with yours.❤

Hi Kayla always enjoy seeing you, Marcus, your Mom and now Grandmother loving on your "Beautiful Home". As far as moving the chair I think a rectangle shape (wicker style basket) preferably one that can endure weather conditions...like the durable plastic outdoor furniture for patios. Just a suggestion since you asked. Can't wait to see what's next. Ms K longtime subbie😘

A yellow will make the door pop. Also try a product call ten ten ten to your grass it works amazing. Water you flowers every other day. P.S. the house looks beautiful!

I have a big clean up done at the end of fall, beginning of spring and an end of summer - so that the outside stays pristine. You and Marcus did a great job!

[@sheronjervis]

Everything looks great. Remember hydrangeas need lots of water, hence their name. Also you need to fertilize. Make sure the pine straw is not suffocating the roots. I feel like your landscaping needs some colour. Maybe put some annuals in pots throughout the garden. Just check if they require sun or shade.

[@MichelleSilva-us4je]

I would totally do a colored door. Like teal

[@michellepollino4986]

[@debbiegilliam7214]

You can enhance your gray door by replacing wreath with a more colorful wreath. Great Job all around!
