Three Projects In the Works

So we have 3 projects in the works.

1. Redo front landscaping
2. Finish the glass on the 2 cabinet doors (next to the wine fridge on the island)
3. Get the backsplash up.

The kitchen woman came and got the doors for the glass yesterday, so I'll be able to post pics next week.

Today, I spent most of the day in the yard tearing out the weeds, overgrown grass and general disarray that was our front flower bed. We're going to tear the rest of it out next Saturday - and try to put in as much of the retaining wall as we can to build a planter - and then likely fill and plant in 2 weeks.

Here are the pics of the current state:

Close up of the sidewalk.

Close up of the center (we'll put the mums & yellow bushes in somewhere).

Close up of the left side by the neighbor's yard.

Much to do!

On to the new house!

If you were following the build of our house, you now know that after several months of delays, we called it quits, got out of our contract and got our deposit back.

As all of that was happening, we happened upon another house in Stapleton that seemed to fit our needs really well. We inquired, looked and a few weeks later, we were closing.

We closed on 2/12. They rented back from us until 2/28. We're now in the process of making a few changes. Before I get into the changes, here's the house as we bought it.



These pictures were taken from the realtor website, so they don't enlarge. We'll post some better ones soon.

Watch for further posts on room color changes, and other updates (the kitchen being the big one)!
