Floorplan is a go!

18 Feb

Well, things seem to be moving along at a snail's pace but I get the idea that that's the way it's supposed to be at this point.  However, we did get the final floor plan this week!!  I redrew it (because yes, I am that OCD) and now it's not quite as hard to read.  There is still some room for ...

Master bathroom ideas

First gardening purchase for the new house!

11 Feb

Well I couldn't help myself…Gurney's was having a 50% plant sale so I went for it.  However, I did have a little self-control and only purchased 5 plants that I'll keep alive in pots until they're ready to be moved to the new house and planted.  Two wisteria... …I've always wanted them along ...
