Title Description

"The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship."

Re-Create

Sometimes it's hard to look at the obvious or old and see new possibilities.  The first and only home that we ever bought was a run down mint green eye sore, that shouted potential.  Through the last 10 years we have rebuilt it with our own sweat and some blood into something that is a one of a kind beautiful home.  It can be as simple as a new coat of paint or as unique as concrete for counter tops. I'm always trying to re-invent things and give them new life.  I found this web site http://www.ikeahackers.net/ that will help get our creative juices flowing for the new year.  Who doesn't love a trip to IKEA?!!!

This is what our house started off looking like from the front.
Tada!
And our backyard, started off looking like this.


Now it looks like this... 10 years later...
