Well, we still haven't managed to get any pictures on the walls and the basement is still full of unpacked boxes but we are super happy and comfortable here in our little house. We've even started upgrading a bit with a new TV, new mattress and a new couch (on order still). What I've really been itching to get to though is the backyard. It's been a long time since I have had outdoor space to work with and so far, it's seemed pretty daunting. Thankfully, my parents are masters when it comes to creating a beautiful garden and they brought their expertise and muscles over today. It's not much to look at yet but I am beyond excited.
Before
And After (still a work in progress but soooo much better)
In other news, while my grandparents were in Portugal, the family pitched in a gave them a whole new kitchen! It was an awesome surprise. My grandmother's cupboards were jammed packed with stuff that she'd forgotten about and most of those items got piled up in a spare room rather than put back in the new kitchen. I did insist on saving one special item though. It's an owl cookie jar! This little guy now lives in my kitchen. I think I might use it to hold wooden spoons and stuff since I never bake cookies.
