House Updates

Before I get into what's new with the house, I just have to say that last Saturday night Patrick and I attended the BEST "neighbours BBQ" EVER! We seriously paid for it on Sunday morning though - tehehe…which was brutal considering we needed to be downtown to show the condo to potential renter by 11:00am - ugh (our condo is rented! Did we mention we opted to rent our condo out while we wait for that *perfect offer?!?)! Who knew shooter lunges could be soooo much fun. What are shooter lunges you ask? Well, you'll just have to attend one of these BBQs to find out ;p I still can't believe I don't have any pics to document this BBQ…next time ;)
---------------------
Well, I mentioned a couple posts ago about us being so indecisive about what to hang in our dinning room/area…I was tired at looking at one large blank wall…albeit obstructed with a less than desirable light fixture…lol…so I the other day I randomly decided to go out front and take a few pictures of the flowers on our new planter:





We already had the frames from our last trip to IKEA, so I ordered 12x16 prints from costco.ca (only $2.99 each!) and placed them in. Patrick did an excellent job hanging the photos. I had my heart set on purchasing one of those Black and Decker stud finder/laser level. We went to Rona and Home Depot to price them out and they are around $80! Eep - not currently in the budget!

Anyhoo…here they are all nicely hung:





They aren't our "forever" art…we'll likely change it out once in a while, but for now it adds some much needed colour!

And here are some pics of our updated "landscaping" - we really just added some purple mums and a planter for some colour ;)





And finally a picture of our "joint effort" planter. Patrick and I worked so well together on this…lol…we are so proud! The heather (the low stuff) is already beginning to fill out. All the plants/flowers should last well into the fall - yay!



We have a few new developments in the work that I'll be posting about shortly:
1. Floating Shelves Are Hung
2. Coach Has Arrived
3. Ordered A Bed
