Before & After: Paradise gets a makeover!

Blake & I have been working hard to get our new house back in shape and make it feel like a home. And of course I have been enjoying decorating it! We still have a lot to do ( replace: old light fixtures, cabinets, counter-tops, paint, buy new furniture and appliances, finish the basement, get new window treatments, etc...) but are pretty happy with the results thus far! We wanted to share our little piece of paradise and hard work with you guys!

After:We had to completely tear out all the grass and buy all new sod as well as gain control of the jungle that was the flower beds.

Dining room After:I realize that doesn't look like a dining room table. You are right it isn't! Since we don't have a table yet we thought we should put in seating because we don't have enough ;)
