DIY Projects

[Pregnancy Highlights are posted just below this post in a separate post!]

I have really gotten into doing more DIY projects lately. My favorite DIY projects, you ask? Anything and everything involving improvements on our home. I wish I had taken pictures of our house inside & out when we bought it to compare to all the thing we've done to it, now. The couple that lived in it before us were in the military with no kids. Needless to say, everything was PLAIN JANE all the way. I'm talking as PLAIN as JANE can get, PLAIN! Haha. All the walls were white. They didn't have one single thing hanging on the walls. Carpet was perfect. Furniture was perfect. etc. etc. etc. You get my point, right? Well, once we broke in, the first thing we did was PAINT... every single room in the house, except the guest room (we left it white for the 2nd baby). The one thing to me and Jordan that seemed to need just as much attention as the walls, the YARD! Here is a before picture of our yard shortly after we moved in. Sorry about the blur...

I posted just a week or so ago about the trees and flowers we planted this year, along with adding some ferns to the front porch. You can see that post here. But... Here are a few shots of the house now compared to the pic above. (I took this weekend!)



NOW... for the DIY project we worked on this weekend that I'm most excited about...

Study the pictures above compared to the picture when we first moved in? Can anyone GUESS what we changed????

Guess! Guess! Guess! (I'll reveal the answer in my next post)

[here's a tiny hint: the grass on the right side of the house might reveal a teeny little hint]

What has Tuff been up too, you ask?



Helping us make the yard pretty!
