  • I've finally uploaded a picture of the laurel I planted last November. It's showing signs of growth already so I must have done something right! lol

  • The beginnings of a border...

Digging a Garden Border

Here we are, doing some more hard work. This was the beginnings of a garden border I dug a couple of weeks back. We have ordered some laurel to go along here to soften it up a bit.

  • Our original herb garden :) packed with lovely smelling goodness...

One FINISHED garden project

Here is the herb garden as it was when it was first gifted to us. It needs replanting now but this provides some lovely inspiration for bringing it back to fruition.

Our $850 Kitchen Renovation

We were tired of living with our builder grade kitchen (and faded cabinets) but didn't have the budget to completely overhaul things. We pinched every penny that we could, while still ...»
giving the kitchen the more modern feel that we wanted. By painting the cabinets, laying our own backsplash tile, working with the counter top we had, building our own table, thrifting new accessories, and selling some of our old stuff, we were able to complete this whole reno for just over $850.

Many more photos along with a complete budget breakdown and links to all of the kitchen projects are available at http://www.aswellplacetodwell.com/2012/10/ki...

  • Our new shed base; picture taken from the attic window.

The Day The Shed Base Went Down

We finally managed to get the shed base in place last Sunday. Despite heavy rain that got heavier throughout the day, everything went according to plan. Now the sheds are ordered and being delivered this Tuesday. We never thought we'd make it to this stage!
