Day 2(Outside)

This is what I accomplished on the second day of being outside(Thanks to help from Shannon and Patrick). 

Weed Cloth was placed in the small section where I pull the crepe myrtle from yesterday. The three bushes were pulled up today and I raked and leveled the ground out the best I could. Day 3 will be spent laying more plastic down. 

This was the BEFORE picture below. It looks so different! 

Day 1 (Inside)

We all loaded up and decided it was time to make a change in the bathroom so off to Lowe's we went...

We chose a lime green to match the shower curtain that we had in our other home. Thank goodness between Gracie and I, we picked out just the right shade. Chloe and Gracie both tried to help and it was a TIGHT squeeze with three of us in the bathroom at once but somehow we managed. 

Gracie did an awesome job at painting the larger spots, now if I could touch up all the trim, we would be in business...

I would say that for under $20 that this turned out to be a darn good makeover. 

The above organizer is from IKEA. It was given to me by a friend and matched perfectly! Thanks Shannon! 

Day 1(Outside)

If you looked at the before pictures you can see I didn't accomplish a whole lot BUT I did accomplish something...

YES! The Crepe Myrtle is officially gone! Tomorrow I will work on pulling up the bushes(with the help of a friend and her husband) and laying down cloth so that I can work on getting new plants in and wont have to worry about weeds...

I've officially assumed(and we know what that can do) that whomever planted the Crepe Myrtle in that area was NOT from the South because if they were from the south then they would have know not to plant it in such a small spot. 

And so it has began...

With Stephen gone on deployment, I am aiming to keep my self overly busy so I can keep my mind off of where he his and just hoping time will go by a little faster. 

This blog is going to showcase the makeover of the house and keep everyone updated on our journey through this deployment. 

Gracie and I(Tiff) will be blogging and constantly taking pictures of the makeover in progress so stay tuned. 

We love you Stephen :)
