Home Improvements

Jameson and I have been busy doing some improvements on the house. Actually Jameson has done most of the work while me and Easton watch. Haha. He's much more handy than I am. Summer is coming so we FINALLY installed the rest of the fans. Hung lights up out front. We use to have these UGLY plastic gold lights hanging in the breakfast nook and dining room and we upgraded those to something much better. We purchased a new table for the dining room. We decided to go synthetic and put some grass in the backyard. Here are a few before and after pics of the improvements.

We put up 3 fans... one in the master bedroom, one in Easton's room, and another in my craft room. I didn't get a picture of the one in Easton's room because he's taking a nap, but here are the other two. Something much needed now thats it getting hotter again!

This is the new table and the ugly gold light that hung off center in the dining room

Much better... and more centered!!

This is the new light in the breakfast nook. We didn't one that hangs only because eventually we plan on getting rid of the table and putting up bar stools. So its just something simple (but still better than the other ugly gold light that hung there before)

For our tax credit this year Jameson decided he really wanted to start working on the backyard. He also decided that he does not want to pay or do the work to put in real grass. Although I do prefer the real thing, I don't mind the synthetic grass either. It actually looks really good. Here is before with the curbing...

After...

It looked bad before, but now that it's not all dirt I definitely want to finish the rest of the backyard soon!

Some other things we plan on doing soon is getting some nice couches for the front room for a sitting area and we plan on transforming our loft into a movie theater room. We got a projector for Christmas and have yet to put it to good use. I also got some shelves to help organize my craft room.
