Our Kitchen - Before

Posted on July 30, 2007 - Filed Under DIY or D-I-Y, Home Improvement | 15 Comments

I’ve been wanting to do this post for a while but had to go back and find my old photos. I apologize for the quality of the pictures but I am no photographer. I’m about as good at taking pictures as I am at wrapping presents. Some of you are wonderful photographers but you weren’t […]

Curtain Problem Solved

Posted on July 3, 2007 - Filed Under DIY or D-I-Y, Home Improvement | 4 Comments

When TGH enclosed the screened porch on our older home, he replaced all the screens with real windows. He did a beautiful job with everything out there from the external siding, to the floor, walls, and ceiling. But, we didn’t realize it would be nice to add curtains to keep the sun from […]

Our Garden

Posted on July 2, 2007 - Filed Under DIY or D-I-Y, Flowers/Gardening, Home Improvement | 3 Comments

TGH built some raised beds for me to plant some vegetables. It was a lot of hard work - he is too good to me. I thought it came out looking pretty good. I decided to have him make triangular beds because I can reach those from all sides (my fellow short […]

Poor TGH! He works hard at his job all day. On weeknights and weekends he works on updating the older home we live in. I know he didn’t need yet MORE work to do, and I really didn’t mean to make him any more work but…this morning after my shower I went […]
