Home Improvement

Although we have not been home a single weekend since we moved into our house, we have still found a little time to start some small home improvement projects. We really wanted a patio furniture set, but had no idea how EXPENSIVE patio furniture is. Anyway, we ended up buying a set off of Craig's List. It was a horrible bright green color when we bought it, but we spray painted it a metallic brown color and it turned out pretty good. We lucked out because the colors in the cushions actually match our orange colored concrete patio.


Our yard was really overgrown when we moved in, so we have also been working a lot on our yard, cleaning up the basement, and last night we took down the big build in mirror that was mart of our fire place. It was totally 80's and we were not big fans of the mirror. We were scared that the wall behind the mirror may not have the same plaster texture, but it does! It is a different paint color and their are two holes with electric (where we thin6k their used to be wall lighting) that we will have to patch, but other than that, a good paint job should make it look brand new.
Here is a picture with the mirror down.... (if you look back to our previous house posts you can see a picture with the mirror above the fireplace).....
