House Stuff: Updated Living Room

The other day as I was preparing the house for a party I realized that I haven't posted the pictures of our updated living room. 

You can see the old living room here.

Memorial Day Makeover: Front Walkway

We had such a productive weekend! We bought and installed new kitchen appliances then tackled our ugly front walkway!

Once again I forgot to take a "Before" picture but Tim snapped a few photos mid day.

Before it was full of weeds and what I like to call "Old People Rocks"...you know, the ones that every 55+ community home has in the front yard?

(No offense Grandma and Grandpa...They were called old people rocks before you moved into your community)

Collecting those bad boys was the hardest part and we were both a little sore the next day.

Anyone need some rocks?

For awhile I've envisioned the landscaping to say, "Palm Springs" and my love for succulents fit right in with that theme. Picking out all these little guys was so much fun!

We got home with about an hour of daylight to spare and got everything planted and put in it's place.

This morning I got to wake up to this and it was sooooo worth it!

I can't wait for them to grow and fill in! I'm hoping it will look like a lovely, succulent river flowing through our front yard :) 

Bathroom Re-do: 2 days, $100.

Ive been on such a home improvement kick lately but I am slacking in the picture posting department.

So let's start with our upstairs guest bathroom.  It was sooooo boring. Just white everything! 

I'm so horrible at remembering to take the before photos so these are after I removed everything and started taping off the walls for paint.

Not much to see...Some white, some off white, and some whitest white.

I knew I wanted something bolder than I've done with the rest of the house and no better place to try it out than an upstairs bathroom. 

 

Simple and Sophisticated!
