Our Home

We've been living in our home for almost one year.  It's hard to believe it has been that long.  We were very busy trying to put the house together for the first several months.  Seems like it has slowed down some and now we're taking our time to finish the rest.

When the weather isn't bad we try to work on the yard.  Here is what the front is looking like so far.  I'd still like more flowers, but I think this is enough for this year.  I'm not in love with the holly or azalea bushes, but they're here, so for now they stay.  I think I know what I want to do next year.  I just need to start early!

I'm still looking for a few pieces for the front porch.  I'm going to paint this bench white and put it in this space, but I'd love a couple big comfy chairs for the end.  Maybe even a little table...an old desk with flowers spilling out...more plants...It'll all take time.

We'd love to replace the porch light.  We just have to find something that doesn't hang so low that the door hits it when open.  I can't wait for this humidity to go away so we can sit out there.

Of all the painting I've done in the house, the chalkboard wall is my favorite.  I love changing it.  I decided to take it further and paint the wall on the left as well.  Not so much to use it as a chalkboard (there is a door and a window, so not much wall), but because I liked the black!  

I decided I didn't like the curtain on the window of the door, so I painted the window.  Thank you, Sara Mincy for the idea.  I love her fun colorful house.  Here is one of her windows.

Here is my window.  (I also plan to paint the door red one of these days.)

I hope to share more of our home soon.  For now, go visit Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday for more on the letter H.
