2 1/2 years after moving in, we planted our first plants.

Turned Our Backyard From This

To This

We had no idea there was a brick planter around the trees when we closed in November.

We made an offer on a home yesterday. It needs some updating and while the previous home owner’s decorating style is best described as “grandma-ish,” it is a larger home than we were initially looking for and is located in an older and established neighborhood. We’ll be signing the counter offer this afternoon and pending the home inspection, we should close early November.

Anyone know what’s growing out of the sidewalk?

We love the windows – not sure about the “lattice work.”

It’s a dark photo, but here is the gas fireplace.

Living/Family Room – This photo was taken from the entryway. Check out the hip wallpaper on the right. Nice.

Built-In in the Living Room/Family Room.  Probably has to go…

Kitchen photo taken from where the breakfast “nook” will probably be.

The Pecan Tree. After some pruning and clean up work, the back yard should be great.

Yikes! Would love to get rid of that and plant some grass. We think that is a live oak tree in front.  The Pecan is behind.
