The View from Here

I mentioned earlier about several projects that we started but haven't finished. We officially finished Project B (the landscaping)! We bought the plants on Sunday and then planted them Monday night. This took a huge burden off my shoulders. 

Just in case you don't remember what it looked like:

Get ready for the big reveal!

 

 It has so much more depth and color than I anticipated. I can't wait to see what it looks like in a few weeks!

Weekend Warriors

Memorial Day weekend we decided to take on not one but two projects.

Project A: Tiling our back splash

We started the whole kitchen remodel project a year an a half ago. The only thing to finish is the back splash. I picked out some tile and an accent piece several times only to go back to my originals.. We started on Monday with the assistance of my mom and have almost completed one wall and part of the other wall. It is slow moving but It looks great! It will be a relief when it is finished.

Project B: Removal and Replacement of hideous bushes

We had 10 hideous Yew bushes. In my opinion they are hideous. With the help of my father-in-law and one of our friends we got them all removed last Saturday. I am so excited to pick out their replacements. Unfortunately our time has been limited.

I am glad we have finally started both of these projects, I just wish we would have finished one before starting the other one!
