Home and Yard Improvements

We've been working on changes inside and out side. Don't we love tax refunds? Woo hoo, we decided that it was about time to have something to show for our refund this year. We installed these gorgeous new light fixtures in the entry, living room and kitchen. We are still looking for a light fixture/fan for the dining room.

This is the fixture in the living room.

This fixture is in the entryway.








This fixture is over the kitchen sink.





This is the tree we got to replace the one we planted our first year in our home. The first tree died back, then grew a bit, then died back again, tried to grow again but we finally decided that we just couldn't wait for a stunted, two foot tall sycamore to recover.

Mike is having a blast in the yard. I don't think he'll stop until every inch of yard is void of grass and turned into flower beds. I just can't wait for everything to leaf out and bloom.
