This summer we've been working on several projects around our house - the bathroom, kitchen & landscaping. I've already posted a picture of our bathroom.
Here's the kitchen. Gregg sanded & restained the cabinets in May (BIG job) & painted it light green in June but we just got the new lighting. We like it SO much! The light is much brighter than our old light and makes everything brighter in our kitchen. Plus we no longer have the 70s looking lighting - yea!
In July we added wegelia (not sure how you spell that) bushes, a rose shrub (I've been wanting one for a LONG time), and a mini hedge arbivitae kind of thing. Thankfully our association paid for some of it. Several years ago we pulled out some nasty, hard to kill shrubs and then we've gone for a while with nothing (well, Gregg planted sweet corn last summer there). It's nice to have something there again. We still have one more shrub we'd like to plant by the steps & maybe another rose shrub but those will have to wait until next year. I love to have a place for landscaping but am also really happy that this is all we have so other than buying some plants to put in pots each spring, it doesn't take much of our time now.
Here's another picture of my phlox just starting to bloom this last week. My mom gave me some several years ago and it's really taken off! The shorter, darker purple is some that we bought on clearance this summer. It was blooming back at the 4th of July so it's just about done.
