Landscaping Updates

Since the day we moved in (or at least shortly after!) Troy has had a few projects in mind to update our house--both inside and outside. So far we have painted two bedrooms and a bathroom (this included sanding down textured walls and dewallpapering), converted a wood fireplace to gas, repainted all exterior windows, and completely revamped our landscaping. Considering that we have not yet lived here two years, I think we are doing well! We also have a huge painting project for our living room/entryway scheduled for May. **I must add a disclaimer that several of these projects have been done with the assistance of family--and we are very thankful for the capable and resourceful people in our families.
Below is a look at the changes in our landscaping!

A view from afar, shows what the landscaping was like when we bought the house. Notice the big trees and bushes covering much of the front of the house.


In this picture you can see the old flower bed (with new mulch, bushes and edging).


Troy knocking down the flower bed and hauling away bricks.


The new look! Complete with an extended patio area.

We are very happy with the new look our home now has!
