More updates
White front door (it used to be dark green)
Living room
(painted walls and trim, moved the huge TV, and
hung some pictures)
Our "kitschy" artwork in the living room (thanks
to Wal-Mart and etsy.com)
Powder room
(repainted the red walls, painted the trim, put
in a new roman shade, and hung some artwork)
Kitchen windows got new cordless roman shades too
"Pruned" the landscaping a bit
(probably need to do before and after pics to get a true appreciation for
this, but let's just say it was pretty overgrown)
I love etsy.com!!
(decorated our mailbox with some peel and
sticks...please don't stalk us now that you know our address...LOL!)
The house in the daylight...minus a huge sweet
gum ball tree and the overgrown landscaping
(we've also traded out all the lighting)
The remaining oak tree...and our sweet gum ball
stump
(couldn't grind it up b/c the gas lines run right
under it...of course)
The gloriously large (and naked) backyard!
(again, probably need to see side by side before and after pics...but we had
about 20 trees taken out)
"Handy Nathan" has started working on the
deck...we're changing it over to Trex decking
For Melanie...this is the swingset we scored for
$700 on Craigslist (including pick up, powerwashing, and set up)
Dave and I took out our aggression on some wild
ivy and Andrew and Courtney are adopting these hostas
