Remember that "broken window" I had in my home a few months back? Well, I'm sorry to say that I am about to reveal another problem area in my home. It's between the couch and the wall and it seemed to house our electronic "stuff." I have always hated this part of my home. Aaron went out of town last week and I decided there was no better time to fix it and surprise him when he got home. I headed over to The Bombay Company. If you didn't know- they are going out of business and are having a great sale. EVERYTHING is at least 20% off and most things are more. I went searching for a table and found the perfect one. Originally it was $110 and I got it for $65!Before (yuck!) and after (ahh, much better!):
My great find:
My next project was my front walk way. The landscaping in this particular area has always driven me nuts. I have tried a couple time to plant some things out there, but I never felt happy with it. I was on a roll from the table project above and decided to go for it. So while Aaron was still in San Francisco, I got a babysitter and went to Home Depot. (really relaxing with no kids, by the way!) I spent all day Friday weeding, fertilzing, digging and planting. I love the results! What an improvement, if I do say so myself!
Here are the before pictures:
And the after. . .
Welcome home, honey! Hope you like the improvements!

What a green thumb you have. I love the before and afters. It always feel so good to accomplish something, especially those that have been bugging us forever. I have several of them around my house. Great pics.
