Front yard!

Another project to report on! This time we worked on our front yard/patch :). It had grass but looked drab and we were tired of wasting money on watering since it is a desert out there (be water smart). So we gutted and replaced with some desert friendly plants and this vibrant red mulch. I have to say, our yard definitely stands out now! Oh and Johnny put a coat of paint on the front door so it's not so sunfaded anymore :) Enjoy....

Before (when we bought the house)....



After we gutted the grass...



And the results:
(I admit the plants look a little puny, but either they fill out or we replace them - gardening is definitely a new hobby for us!)

Updated 1/2 Bathroom

Aye, I thought I blogged this, but I am clearly behind! :) Johnny and I did some work on our half bathroom downstairs. We updated lighting, the mirror, removed medicine cabinet, painted the walls and the cabinetry and various other little things. We LOVE it! It's dark, but we love the warmth and coziness to it. Even better we did it for less than 500 dollars! Check it out...

BEFORE -BLAH!
