Our latest project

Grandma came up today to sand the china cabinet and put the first coat of paint on it. Manny of course had to help.
We are having the front walk done..then I can start a flower bed. I want to build a rock/retaining wall at the corner of the house.

Steps to go in (gotta get that door painted...my time is running short)

The back from the corner all the way over to the deck stairs and back patio

The two level patio out from the house with a fire pit (I'm not sure what to expect there)

This is all Manny's doing. I just sat back and gave him the okay to do what he wanted...he gave me that liberty with many things inside the house...I owed him the same!! I can't wait to see the finished product.....more to come Monday!

I need your opinion

OK, I have hung curtains on the windows upstairs and I am not sure which ones I like better. Please give me your opinion...even if you don't have a blog go to anonymous and leave a vote....thanks!!!! (leave your name with it so I know who looked at it!!)



They are both a light green; almost like a celery color (husband hates them (smile)) The window with the scarf is sheer....the other window is a different material. You can't tell in the pics tho.

The room is coming out so dark..sorry!


(never mind all the clutter...I am trying to do this while the boys nap...clean up later!!)

Curtains

my favorite

Dad came to the house today to put up curtain rods for me. I LOVE the curtains in all the rooms, but I think the downstairs ones are my favorite. I don't have any pics of the living room/dining room because they were coming out dark. I will take a pic in the morning and update. I now only need something on the window in the boys' room and the back door in the kitchen needs a valance (gotta find one I like and that matches). Again, thanks Dad for all you do!!!!
