In Asheville North Carolina we had a really small house barely 1,000 square feet and no budget to speak of. So, when Justin’s office all but shut down and laid off over 20 people we had to find a job, and fast… which also meant that we had a ton of remodeling to do in […]
1 night in Asheville
Well Justin and I have almost run out of things to do. All hobbies are packed, all randoms are packed, all projects are finished. We are just waiting… waiting for the signal that we can pack the rest. So tonight, as we were getting lethargic, sitting around the house, watching a movie at 4:00 in […]
Moving on..
Well we have a little snippet of good, actually great news! We sold our house!!! We were going to try to put our house up for sale by owner but just didn’t have the time. So, we called our realtor Tammy. She listed our house on Tuesday, and then we waited. We […]
And now, the rest of the story.
I just keep not having time to post our most recent changes and thought I ought to do so now. We have our first showing tomorrow, so I am feeling a lot of relief. It is just so hard to think about what are plans are when the house hasn’t sold, but that is not […]
Kitchen of my dreams
Almost! Okay, so it isn’t quite the kitchen of my dreams, but it is pretty much as close as our budget can get us at the moment. I won’t bore you with a big long explanation, I’ll just put captions under the pictures for those that want to read them. The original before (or click […]
Follow the yellow brick road.
Well, since the “permanent vacation assignment” from Justin’s work happened- we have been working on our house like little bumble bees in a hive. Our house is all “a buzzz“, with drills, saws and random orbital sanders (Ah!, I can smell the saw dust now). We tore apart the entire master bath and for the […]
Sur La Table
I have a few house updates to share. Actually it has more to do with furniture, but they go in my house so…. anyway, a few years ago I got our family table from my brother Rand. This is the table that we ate at, morning, noon and night at as a kid with my […]
Lights, Camera, Awesome
I have been looking for a cool, semi-funky option for a light above the sink in the kitchen for months now. There has been nothing at the Home Dump-o or Lowes. I even went to a lighting store. While they had one or two lights that would work, I wasn’t about to pay $200.00. Yikes! […]
Late Bloomers
We have a few more lovely plants to showcase. My favorite is from our tulip tree. This is the first year we’ve seen it bloom and they are incredible. Tulip Tree Blossoms Rhodo. This is the fist time this has ever bloomed! Not really sure! Hostas
Cooking up some fun
We have been working like mad on the kitchen the last few weekends. We wanted to have the upper cabinets done before we leave for Utah in June, but I really don’t think we are going to have the time. We still need to fill some holes, sand, add another stile to the cabinets (this […]
Mail Call
I am sure you are all getting sick of the random projects on our blog, but hey it’s our blog right? I just painted our mailbox, it looked so bad before. And for a mere $2.96 it’s brand new yet again!
Spring Has Finally Sprung
We have been busily taking pictures of our ever changing yard. Actually this month alone we have taken well over 200 pictures of the misc. plants in our yard. We had to really narrow these pictures down to find some of our very favorites. Justin has really done a great job getting these. So without […]
Happy Anniversary
We had our 7th anniversary last weekend. Technically we didn’t even get to hang out, it was a bit of a bummer. I was in a stake play, and had a women’s conference all morning then we got to hang out for a mere two hours and it was back for another performance. Thank […]
Our door is always open…
We finally painted our front door!!! Isn’t it AMAZING what paint can do? We love to look at it now. We painted the door and door casing. Also that same day, I literally scrubbed about a million stain splatters (from a previous owner) off of half of our siding. It was chocolate brown stain on light […]
Working on the Yard
We have been working on our yard the last few weekends. Actually, I guess I should say that Justin has been working on the yard, but I have helped where I could. Justin leveled the yard and tilled up all the moss and weeds. Then he put down seed for grass, of course it froze […]
