I had debated sharing these simple spray paint updates, because they are really, quick and easy updates and I wasn’t sure they were really “blog-worthy”. But, then I realized that I can’t have more in-depth projects like Kitchen Makeovers and Backsplash Tiling every week. Time and money don’t allow for that. So, today I have […]
Our Outdoor Paradise
The Spring after we moved into our house, we got to work implementing a landscaping plan to make the outdoors suit us. The deck was built with the house, but we knew we needed more space, so we had the patio added. We also began planting trees. So, below was phase one for the first […]
