Home Projects

Lately we have been getting some stuff done around the house.

A few months ago, we bought a new sectional. The couches we had were going on 10 years and they barely lived through Hiro’s puppy years. Every cushion had at least 3 holes in the corners from puppy teeth. And the pillows that came with the couch? Those along with the matching ottoman were destroyed years ago. Oh the puppy stage! Speaking of which, how cute is this little guy? He turns 8 at the beginning of May.

I had been wanting to upgrade the couches for a long time now and we finally did! We got the sectional at Havertys and I love it. The color is perfect, the size is great (the length of the back is 11ft, so it fits the whole family) and it is super comfortable.

We also got Adelaide a big girl bed. She refuses to sleep in it, so she is still in her crib. I am thinking we are going to have to get rid of the crib all together before she is willing to make the switch. She does love reading, jumping and putting her baby’s to  bed in her new bed.

The biggest thing going on right now is our new back patio. We are going from this…

To this…

We have a great crew working on it this week and as long as it doesn’t rain too much next week, it should be finished up. It will be flagstone across the entire top, including over our existing patio. Those posts will be a pergola which we plan to put a table under. Then on the far left, we plan on putting a fire pit of some kind (probably in the fall). We are pretty excited! I will definitely post more pictures once it is complete.
