Zariph's Project

Zariph has started working on the first room in our unfinished basement.  We decided to start in the cold storage.  Over the Fourth of July "weekend", we tiled the floor.  Then this past week Zariph's been working on the shelves.  This is about half of the shelves in the whole room.  Then we are going to spray the shelves, ceiling and walls white to finish it off.  I can't wait to get organizing!  They are turning out great!

Our Yard is In!

Blogging has really been put on the backburner for me. Here's a little recap of the past 10 months since I last posted. We moved in to our new house, we had a baby, Zariph works from home now, and I get to stay home and take care of my two boys. Life is great! The main reason for this post is to share about our "finished" yard, but I will post one Easter photo of the boys.

Ok, that was more than one, but they are sure cute, aren't they?

Now for our yard:

Zariph did the pavers around the firepit and he built the benches. It turned out very nice. Everything else we hired out.

We may plant a few trees this year, but everything else will probably wait until next year.

The house TODAY!

The outside is almost complete - just rain gutters and light fixtures need to be installed.

The porch to the side of our front door.

The view from Boston's room (looking out the front of our house)

The nursery looking into our bedroom

Front door and office - I love the color of that front door!

The loft - open to entry on the side Zariph and Boston are looking on, and open to the great room on the other side.

The closed in part of the loft

The great room/entry/stairs

The hot tub room - we tiled the wall 3/4 up, to hopefully help with peeling paint and the steam. It looks really good under the plastic, I'll take another picture later.

My side of the closet, you can't see it all in the picture, though.

This is Zariph's project for the past two weeks - our master walk-in shower. It's almost ready to tile! The great room My craft room - could I be any more excited!
