It is hard to believe, but we actually removed 4 (four!) big bushes out of the front garden area. I know, you are saying, "But it still looks full and complete. Where could there have been other bushes?"
You are right. That's why they are now gone. It was actually TOO crowded. I had begun to feel like I was entering our house through a jungle...
The frontal view does look a bit more open now!
And here is where two of the bushes went. Now they can be free to fulfill the measure of their creation, growing big and beautiful, instead of having to be severely trimmed back. I'm sure they will be happy--once they get over transplant-shock. 
So where did the other plants go? One is in another garden (it is a flowering shrub), but the 4th one is now planted in the "forest". It's a good thing the "forest" is there as a repository for the plants that are still good, just no longer needed in our yard, like surplus irises, day lilies, hostas, blue rug junipers, etc. One end of it has nice blooms at various times in the summer!

How was yours?
You're right, the front yard looks great!
