OUR HOME IS WHERE THE ART IS
Tired semi gets a mural makeover
A PROUD couple have made their semi the talk of the town by getting a massive mural painted on the front of their home.
Nick and Megan Underwood were bored with the original exterior, so hired a street artist to add some kerb appeal.
Builder Nick spotted the artist finishing off a work on another street and paid him £1,200 to tackle his house.
Nick, 31, said his neighbours love the vivid mural, which depicts a nearby canal bridge in Swindon, Wilts.
Nick, who is doing further renovations, added: “We couldn’t get rid of the render on the outside, so this was a solution. Absolutely everyone walks past it and says ‘wow’.
“The neighbours opposite-but-one said they moved their bed in their bedroom so they could see the mural.”
