new living room color in the grey family. much more calming and matches everything :)

The hedges are gone!

I will be updating the rest of the landscaping on the left, but now we won't have only hedges everywhere to collect leaves :)

Bye-bye hedges!

Next yard project: removing overgrown row of hedges to make our entryway/yard feel bigger. Also, these hedges are actually causing the sidewalk to break. No bueno. Here are some before pics--stay tuned for the afters!

Curbside view

Close-up view

Refabbed table :)

found this table beside a dumpster...with some paint and a tile top it looks gorgeous! Perfect for our beach-themed guest room :)

And the yard work begins!

Finally got a start on the landscaping...more to come. :)

          Problem: All you could see was this cypress!

Solution: eliminate said cypress.
Curbside view (without the cypress cover-up)!

Corner view from further back

Without the cypress, I had to spruce up the corner.
This was just an empty bed before. Much better now!

Curtains, check!

Check out the curtains I re-made for our bathroom. All I did was cut a panel curtain into these 4 small curtains, shape, and sew!  Here are before & after shots.

First post!

Hey everyone! I'm starting this blog to keep track of everything that my husband, Josh, and I do to our first home. I thought it would be a neat way to look back on the past and make sure we learn from any mistakes we make. :) So, without further adeiu, here's our new place!!!
