Former clients Anika and Todd are in the process of giving their Burbank house a facelift.  They've pulled out some old landscaping (new landscaping is on the way), painted the door, porch and trim, removed the porch overhang, installed the planter boxes, etc.  Here are the adorable results (picture is crooked because I had too much coffee).  I'm envious of their design talent and will be excited to see their additional renovations.

Here's my myopic Realtor take on bin Laden's compound: I was really surprised by the pictures. You probably were, too.  Really, it looks like a dump has absolutely no curb appeal.  And it's worth $1 million dollars? In the third world?
