New-ness

I figured I'd do a blog regarding the "new" things/looks/projects etc. that we are up to around here.

I've already blogged about our floors... which we are LOVING! I'm excited to have my sister-in-law (Jenn) come down and get some "decorating advise" for our living room now. We need rugs and some other tips and she's just the person who can help... she's got talent with that stuff!

Anyways... we got our new loveseat, so here it is with the couch...





To start our Saturday, we had people come out and clean our air ducts... which were nasty. Here's a pic of the "before"


And here's the "after" (note... the white stuff on the edges and the outside is the "popcorn ceiling" spray/stuff. It's the inside that we are looking at here...)


The next thing on the "to do" list for today was my hair! I got my hair cut again (first time since last April- YIKES). I only get it cut like once a year, so needless to say it grows out and looks all nasty. However, it's easier to maintain because I can just wear it curly and it's quick and easy. Straightening it takes 2 hours (the wash, dry, straightening all together)... so I don't like that kind of maintenance! I'm a low maintenance kinda girl. Anyways, I cut it off and now I have to straighten it. It's okay though... it's worth it to have a "new" hairstyle every now and then. I don't have any before pics... just look above at the top of my blog and you'll see what it has been looking like. Here's what it looks like now...


Third thing on our list today... start our new vegetable garden! We were going to start it last weekend, but we never actually started it. We bought the fertilizer and seeds, but never started the digging! So, it has just begun... and that's about the end of it. Steve is the one working on this, so I can't take any credit for it. But, here's our process... I'll follow up with more pics after we get the fertilizer down, seeds planted, and then hopefully some food! (we're starting with Okra, Onions, and potatoes to see how they work... if it works, we'll add more to it!). Here's the before and then the next phase- but by no means the "after"...




Our next project... putting hardware on our cabinets and drawers! Pics to come once we complete that one!
