Home Improvement

This is going to be a summer of changes and improvements for our house. I have a LONG list of things to get finished this summer. Here are a few of our big projects. I will try to keep you updated on their progress as the summer goes on.......
Project #1- The Yard
Do I even need to say more.......our yard is a disaster so we are finally trying to get it under control. We had these terrible ruts and gulleys and about a million rocks. We are going to try and work on it in sections and hopefully get some grass. We have some friends who are landscapers who are helping us with our project. Here is our friends Ann and David getting rid of the little grand canyon in our front yard.

I know this may not look like much to some people....but it already a huge improvement! Hopefully I can post some new pictures in a few weeks of our new green grass!





Project #2- The Kitchen

I promise to NEVER EVER even think about wallpaper again for the rest of my life. We put up this wallpaper about 6 years ago and it was time for it to go! I am slowly ripping it down and I can tell that it is going to be a very slow and painful process, but I know that the final result will be well worth it.







Project #3- The Backyard Oasis
This is the future site of our new pool......we are hoping that construction will start next week! I am a little nervous about the huge mess that it will make, but I can't wait for the end result!
