I totally understand the concept. We now live in a country club golf course community and have strict rules! All our mailboxes are the same, we can't have black tar for driveways, just cement. No sheds but I do have a lovely gazebo. We had to submit the plans to the modifications committee and because it enhances the property, it was approved. Same with the patio we put in, it needed approval.

When I say lawn artifacts, I'm not referring to the plastic things, I have a $500 bird bath that is ornamental; a very expensive bench that I have on my walkway. These are the things I would love to take with me.

I am in total agreement on the "tacky" things people put out - I don't like it at all.

So, I guess I'm understanding that I can take my stuff but it needs to go out back.
