My 'Embarassing Secret' FIXED


Because of all your wonderful suggestions, we finally started to have our landscape fixed!


Hope you had a Happy 4th, I know I did!

Overgrown before

Yey! I could see my neighbor!

Vs. I couldn't :-(


NO MORE WEEDS... FOR NOW! :-)




WEED-XTRAVAGANZA!

I could see my windows!


Vs. I couldnt


Just nice!


Just too much

Trimmed and proper

Hurly-burly

Aaaaaahhhhhh.....

Aaaaaaggggghhhhhhh!



Now that the weeds are gone and the trees and shrubs trimmed, I need to add a bit more since my lot seems too barren?!

It never ends does it?!

Hope your having a Great Summer Day!

Another Embarassing 'Secret; - My boys bathroom

I've spilled the beans on my front yard, which I am proud to say has been remedied already and I will be sharing that to you all next week.

However, problem areas never end does it?
Here's another one, a room I have been putting aside to fix since we moved into this home.


Messy counter as expected

Haven't removed shade stickers yet...

Holes on the wall are abundant, just not obvious 


The only change we were able to sort-of accomplish was painting it white since this whole room was orange!

However, we did a pretty bad job...


See the awful paint job we did????



Don't mind that weird lady taking a picture ;-)

Anyhow, you know too how it is, when a room is usable and OK that you just seem to forget about it? Well, this is that room.

I'm on the mend to fix this place up and I hope you follow along my progress!

Hope you all have a great Weekend!

Ottoman search is over!

We've finally decided on the ottoman that works best for our home!
Thank you so very much for all your input on this matter, truly appreciate it.

Actually the very last minute we were torn since Liz from Infuse with Liz suggested us another great option from WISTERIA!

But in the end, this  Wicker Storage Ottoman from WAYFAIR won the search.


Here it is!

Bigger surface area up top for sure

Lots of storage inside for sure, even more than what our old coffee table provided!

I think the proportion is pretty good as well


I initially doubted anything Square among my choices, but the scale of this square was just perfect!

The problem with the rectangular ones were the height as well. They were too short and just a hazard for climbing for our little one.

Now we're all happy, including little Sophia... we hope!

Have a Great Week!
