We finally got new kitchen countertops last November just before Thanksgiving. It was such a process!! Half the problem was our indecisiveness, and the other was getting things scheduled. First we wanted corian, then quartz, granite, and then quartz again. We wanted durable, and the more people we got quotes from the more the information… Continue reading Countertops!

Half a fence!
Woke up to some hammering one morning and discovered that our neighbor was having part of their fencing replaced. She stopped to chat with us later the next day while we were outside cleaning up the front yard of leaves. The house on the other side of her had sold, and the new owner was… Continue reading Half a fence!
Garage and Office Updates
Just a quick post about two minor updates we did. Y’all just one more post and I have finally caught up with our renovations! The garage is still a work in progress. We haven’t done much of anything in there, as we are trying to complete the interior before working on the garage. But we… Continue reading Garage and Office Updates
Kitchen Ceiling
You ever just hate something about your house? From day one that you bought your house, you just hated one thing? For me that was the kitchen ceiling. It had the raised boxed fluorescent lights. Ugly and very out dated. So we finally decided to replace the old outdated lights with new recessed lights! While… Continue reading Kitchen Ceiling
Doors, doors and doors!
The first thing I said when we bought our house was that I wanted to change out the front door for a Lone Star door. That is a door with the Texas Lone Star on it. Finally a year later I got it! We searched around for a while, looking for the perfect door –… Continue reading Doors, doors and doors!
A few more updates and a lawnmower?
Soon after installing a new water heater in the attic, summer heat hit Texas. The person that installed the water heater didn’t mention anything about having a fan in the attic to help with the summer heat. I never lived in a home with a water heater in the attic before. I didn’t know that… Continue reading A few more updates and a lawnmower?
More Electrical Work
I know. More electrical?? Did you buy a dud house? Haha! It’s all good things this time! We updated and added light fixtures! This is our dining area. Before this was a tiny little pod light in the ceiling. It was awful and barely gave any light to the area. This chandelier is gorgeous and… Continue reading More Electrical Work
New Fridge
There really wasn’t anything wrong with our old fridge as far as keeping things cold and frozen as they should be. It was the ice and water maker. It was possessed! Water wouldn’t shut off unless I opened the door. Ice would be made but wouldn’t come and would get frozen to the spout it… Continue reading New Fridge
Things To Come
I am almost caught up with the house renovations posts, and I’ll update y’all on the newest issues. More electrical problems and a new dishwasher! We finally got a small break in the heat and I was able to almost complete one of my projects. So I will have an update on that. I also… Continue reading Things To Come
New Stove
When we bought the house we had planned on updating all the appliances in the kitchen. They were all a bit older but in working condition so it wasn’t a top priority. As a person that likes to bake and cook, having an oven that works properly at the right temperatures is pretty crucial. We… Continue reading New Stove
