Home Sweet Home

So as many of you know, Jason and I finally purchased a home together! We are thrilled to have made the move to Germantown and now have a beautiful home to raise Riley and expand our little family. With a new home, comes a lot of new projects...
Here are some before and after pictures of the work we have done so far, and we still have a ton left to do! But we are having a blast doing it!

Flowers make everything look better!

 WEEDS!!!!!

 Shot of the "sitting area" that the old owners put in

 Seriously, talk about letting go of your yard!

 our 5,000 year old chlorine pool pump

 I think this used to be a flower bed

 French drain needed!

Random Ornamental Grass in the middle of the yard, why of course!

 And the landscapers have arrived!!!

 Drainage Pipe buried, maybe a french drain will be in the budget next spring!

 Leveling out the yard

 And the sod is down!!

 Pretty new grass and NO MORE WEEDS!

John and Jason cutting down trees and overgrowth around the fence line 

 New beds on the fence line

 And a little flower bed for a touch of color!

Our new Salt Water Pool Pump

Previous Light Fixtures

And the new light fixtures around the entire house! So much better!

 The concrete truck is here to expand the driveway!

All finished!

 Tearing up the "sitting area"

And creating a "new" stone pathway that is Bruno Proof!

 Meanwhile, I salvaged the old pots that were amongst the weeds

And gave them a little color! 

 Now all that is missing is some plants

 Finished product!

And a little mulch to top it all off!

That's all for now but we certainly aren't finished so I'll keep you all posted!
