New Furniture


On Thursday I had a couch, loveseat and chair delivered. All are in Chocolate brown and they really finished off the living room space (After they got it in the house, only took them 3 hours to figure out). Add to it the new lampshade my mom gave me, Dad mounted the geometrically shaped mirror above the fireplace, Mom filled a copper bucket full of flowers and the place is looking amazing.





Thanks to my Mom and Dad for all their hard work this weekend while I was gone working. The place is already for the Girls' visit on Friday.

Changing Over











One of the greatest talents I got from my mom is changing the house over for the seasons...maybe talent isn't the way to put it...hobby? Either way she's much better at it. So about a weeks ago I started switching over my bathroom and guest bedroom for the Valentine's Day holiday which of course is when my lovely ladies are coming!

Flowers!


The sun finally came out and I finally had a chance to spruce up the backyard. My mom came over yesterday and with a few trips to Target's garden center we have transformed the back yard area.
Before this was just a dirty over grown jungle. Now the plants have been trimmed and flowers have been added.




This area of the yard will eventually be bricked from the sidewalk edge to the fence so that there will be more space for the table and four chairs (which are inside because it suppose to rain again all this week. Hanging the lattice was Mom's idea...probably going to paint it eventually.
