So we've FINALLY gotten started on some home improvement projects we've been wanting to get done for a while!! A few weekends ago Andy and his friend Steve built us a deck in the backyard!! It looks great and will be soo nice to have a place to sit outside this summer. The weekend after he built the deck he decided to add some benches on. Now all that's left is for it to be stained which he will be doing this weekend then hopefully we'll get some patio furniture soon! I can't wait to have our first BBQ with the deck. This has also motivated me to get a little bit of yardwork done. Although there is still a TON left to do, the yard is slowly looking better :)
Deck before benches:
With the benches:
We also re-decorated our bathroom the last couple weeks. I bought a shower curtain a while back but hadn't gotten around to painting the bathroom to match until last week. We bought the paint and Andy and I got it all done in just over an hour. We hung the new shower curtain and I even found some new artwork to match!! Now all that's left to do is buy a new bath mat and finish touching up the white paint on the ceiling and it will be all done!! It's good as new..and MUCH better than the sky blue it was before :)
Now..next on our home improvement list: hardwood floors throughout the living room and hallway and tile in the kitchen. Hopefully it won't take us as long to get started on this project! We figured if we're gonna be stuck in this house for a while, we might as well make it what we want it to be!! :)
