Six Months at the Cedar House
Somehow we've lived in our new house for six months already! Time flies. We've done a few small projects (upgrades and getting settled) and some bigger projects (yard work for an acre - eek!). Mostly we've been unpacking, enjoying the slower pace of country life, and have been utilizing our newfound insulation and storage, ha!
Things we've (Matt's) done so far...
Indoors-
- Updated kitchen and dining room light fixtures
- Installed fans in 4 bedrooms and replaced the fans in the living room and master
- Bought a new chair for the living room
- Bought/installed a new TV and sound system above the fireplace (Matt's lifelong dream come true, LOL)
- Upgraded our master bedroom furniture and mattress
- Bought new art for the living room (also my belated 40th birthday gift)
Outdoors-
- Bought and assembly an outdoor playground
- Added a fan to the back patio
- Organized garage with a new cabinet, workbench, bike rack, and outdoor toy sorter
- Removed front bed landscaping and replaced it with new plants, pots, river rocks, and black mulch
- Had Tree Land plant 15 trees: a Brandywine Maple, Red Oak, and Bald Cypress in the back yard and 12 Eastern Red Cedars as a living fence on the south side
- Had Barefoot Landscaping grade and install sod in the back and side yard
- Replaced the front sconces with modern fixtures and installed landscape lighting
- Bought a riding lawn mower
- Spent the spring and summer watering like crazy...
So much fun! Some snaps...
