Same brick. The original photo was shot on film at dusk. I wanted to be able to see inside the garage and the walls in the garage. It was done with a Hassleblad on a tripod and a several second long exposure to have the exposure correct. Scanned on a high end scanner at work, and tweaked in Photoshop.
Current photo is from my iPhone, point and click, done. We did repaint the garage doors and the grey trim on the soffits and around the windows.
And the planting is all my wife's doing. I keep the grass mowed, and she keeps putting in gardens so I have less to mow. I just have to dig holes for her to plant more stuff.
The garage is what made me fall in love with the house. 3 car wide, oversized and a workshop area with a bathroom in the garage. I just assumed it came with a kitchen and bedrooms, I was in love. My wife loves the closets and the rest of the house.
