When we bought our like new home this past summer, it was obvious the previous renters didn't manage the landscaping, so we overhauled it all and gave it some curb appeal.

My backyard area was a hot mess- although it had a large Trex Deck it didn't have any shade and was unbearable in the summer. So we pulled out half of it and replaced it with a shady pergola.

My guest bathroom needed an update from the 1980's. With removal of wallpaper, reworking the walls, and using existing cabinet and tile, my updated space was created in 2.5 days.

We didn't really have a functional backyard. We back right up to woods so we excavated the hill and brush to push out the yard and put in a retaining wall giving us a nice big flat backyard. The wall is around 7 ft. tall for those of you who were wondering. If we went higher than that we would have had to have put a fence in above it.

This is what we've been working on this summer. I had to repost some photos were lost and in various catagories. Please view the berfore pic's too. After renovating the home for 2 years we've finally got to the backyard. We did all the work ourselves except the installation of the pool. Sod gazebo arbor I even built the retaining wall deck deck steps fence all landscaping. We hate to see summer end. But know that we have many years to enjoy. Thanks for visiting and God Bless!

This is the landscaping at my best friend B's house. Normally you paint and then do your landscaping, however due to some structural issues...it was all done first. I will post pics after house is painted, we are going for the Italian tuscan stucco look.

All new large and very functional 600 sqft brick patio which runs from the back door to the garage. New grass and fire pit gravel area behind the garage. This project took me three months and included a lot of blood sweat and tears!

One of the last frontiers in our home design effort - and one of the most costly. It started out as we found it from the builder with 10-year old appliances and a high-quality but dated tile counter top.
We started by replacing the appliances - the oven/microwave combo was replaced with a double convection oven. The refrigerator was updated with stainless, over and under design. The dishwasher with a simple stainless steel front and concealed controls. The sink went from a double-well salmon-colored porcelain to a large single well stainless, with updated faucet.
Finishing off the first round of updates was the removal (agggh! of the ceramic tile countertop and installation of black galaxy granite.
Oh yes, we replaced the electric cooktop with gas, and added another cabinet unit on the center island to conceal the trash and recycle bins and extend the workspace for an extra set of burners and counter space.
All that's left is paint for the small remaining wall spaces....
The reason for adding this page is to get some ideas about colors for the wall. We're playing around with a brick-red, a green bordering on gray, a bronze...
