Let the outdoor reno begin!

As you can see my husband and I have our work cut out for us. Unfortunately we've had quite the wind chill here in Florida which makes any outdoor job uncomfortable. Yesterday was probably the nicest day but my husband is at work, and even though I'm taking my vacation time to clean our apartment and set-up the house, the yardwork is a joint activity.

For a general to-do list here are some plans:

--Clean up entire porch and replace blinds, possibly add curtains. Plus, remove furniture from last tenants.

--Rip out weeds and replace with new, fresh plants.

--Fix light in the front yard since it is wobbly.

--Paint shed.

Soon we will put our grill out and have everyone over for a yummy bbq! Pictures to come as 'Renovation: Outside' begins.

Loving some of these rooms!

I have been thinking about my future home so much lately and thinking about different simple ways I would decorate it. I came across Kelly's blog, Design Crush and got a crush on some of the designs (my lame play on words, I know). I am inspired to have a crisp, clean white bathroom, clutter-free office space, and bright dishes. Her place is quaint and fun and I hope that I'll be able to design mine in such a way.

I would photograph my place but it's pretty much separated as 1/2 living room and kitchen, 3/4 bedroom and 1/4 bathroom. The only designing my fiance and I have is photographs he has taken. One day I'll live in a place that my crdeative juices will flow.
