Michael and I bought our house in December 2008. It is hard to believe that we have almost lived here for a year! We love our little hill country home and have had a great time "playing house." I thought it would be fun to post some "before and after" pictures of our projects...
1. We painted our living room a pale blue to brighten up the space... thanks for the suggestion MC... we love it!

2. Mike and Tracey had some old patio furniture that they did not want anymore so we offered to take it off their hands. It was in need of a little TLC...

3. The on-going battle with our yard... between the lack of rain and extremely hungry deer, we have had quite a trying first year! I am proud to say that today our yard looks AMAZING and our persistence has paid off!
Back in March my 1st attempt:

The deer LOVED it!! =(
