Small bathroom remodel

We remodeled this small bathroom years ago. I still love it, and from what I've seen and read, it still seems to be in style.

You're welcome, Becky! I think you may be right. I know I love the cottage look.

Shade garden #2: east garden

With oaks and tall wax leafted ligustrum trees, no grass would grow here; mud puddles were the norm. This is how I altered it into useful area.

Another couple things we have in common! Burnt and ticklish feet.

New arbor for bougainvillea support.

I returned from a girl's week to find my dear hubby had made the simple arbor I'd requested as a birthday gift. I'm so pleased!!

Kitchen overhaul

Thought I'd share photos of our kitchen remodel. It was just completed yesterday.......a 1968 kitchen brought into the 21st century.

Becky H on Sep 22, 2012

Thank you Ellen! Our issue with our kitchen wasn't the color of our cabinets (as you may have ...»
guessed 8-) ); it was storage and work space. However, the old cabinets had been a dark wood when we moved into this home; we painted them once we'd settled in. That end of the house was dark with the overhead cabinets (over the bar) obscuring the light and air flow from the kitchen window and sliding glass doors, so we chose to remove them. Lowering the bar to the kitchen counter height afforded us more work space, and building floor to ceiling pantry in the laundry room, along with the sideboard, more than offset the loss of storage space when we lost the overhead cabinets. We like light and airy interiors, so hopefully, that's what the kitchen reflects.

How I deal with shade; my shade gardens.

This is the west shade garden.

CUTE, and love the colors!!!

It has been so many years since this orchid bloomed, I forgot what color it was. For some reason, I had thought it was yellow, but it turned out to be simple white. Far less flamboyant than any of its cousins.

Yep. A spotter is a must! ...»

Good night. I'm heading out myself as soon as I check the last notification. Well I hope there's only one still.

Viburnum tree: Going, going, gone.

Hated to lose this tree, but between being topped by a microburst, trimmed, attacked by bores, then fungus, we had to bid it a sad farewell.

Becky on Sep 06, 2012

Oh that's a wonderful idea Becky. I took quite a few pictures that day. It was just so pretty. ...»
This was before we heard of the disease so I had not clue what I was photographing other than something I felt was beautiful.
