With a not so sad heart, we made our way to Home Depot this week for a new garbage disposal. This past week, I hit the switch on the old one and it started, stopped and then nothing. No noise. Not a good sign. Apparently the fuse was blown and it was just never the same afterwards. We made our way to the store and picked out a 2-grinder system that is seriously the quietest disposal you could imagine. I can't even tell when it is grinding food. Fantastic!

Week 19: Paint Trim Around Garage
Week 19: Paint Trim Around Garage
This week we re-painted the trim around the garage to match the new shutter color. The paint was old and cracking, flaking and just in miserable shape. The new look is fantastic! Our house is looking so good :)

Week 18: New House Numbers
Week 18: New House Numbers
Our house numbers sign was awful. It was the same color as the shutters and the brass numbers were all tarnished and they were impossible to make out. I repainted the sign with the new red color and got some great nickel numbers from Home Depot to dress it up. Now everyone should be able to see what house this is and found ours with a little less difficulty.

Week 17: Trimming the Bushes
Week 17: Trimming the Bushes
Tyler has always been proud of his yard and landscaping and this year has been no exception. Our yard looks fabulous! Nice and green. This week Tyler spent time in the great outdoors and trimmed up the bushes. The look great! We even have a group of "bonsai" bushes in the back yeard that were started by my parents and have been nursed well afterwards. Curb appeal is a good thing!

Week 16: New Towel Ring
Week 16: New Towel Ring
Pics to come soon. (Been busy :) )
It was time to finish off the guest bath with a new towel ring for the hand towels. We went with a beach/spa theme for the bathroom and finished off with stainless steel/brushed nickel and white accents. Feels good to have the bathroom complete.

Week 15: Clean the Carpets
Week 15: Clean the Carpets
This week I borrowed my in-law's Deep Clean Carpet Cleaner and got to business in the hallway. The hallway is where we get most of the traffic on the carpet and it can get pretty bad since we have a tendency to wear our shoes at any given time. I try to do this once a year and it always helps.

Week 14: Replace Outdoor Lighting
Week 14: Replace Outdoor Lighting
Old:
New:
This week we decided to replace the outdoor lighting on the house. I went from store to store to find just the right lights and settled on a set from Home Depot. We got the lights home and found that one lamp had been put on the shelf with missing parts and it was completely broken. So after a 2 hour trek to a different Home Depot, I found the right light and everything was grand. I love the results!
