Last weekend we were running around picking up some things for the house after an awesome church service and then lunch at one of our favorite places.  We walked through the home and garden section (we always like to do that) checking out all the cool stuff and talk about what would be awesome to have for our house.  Well we ran across a bunch of outdoor dining sets that looked really nice. We pondered for a bit on what we wanted to do and continued our shopping.

Now that I think about it, the backyard is the last thing we really put money into.  It’s the last thing any of our friends or guests see or visit, so it’s the last to get any type of attention.  One of these days though I’m going to change it so we can spend more time out back in the nice weather then on the inside (except of course when it’s over 100 out)

We are thinking about making one of our extra bedrooms a little more livable.  That way it looks nicer and we have some better furniture in there.

One of the first things we want to accomplish is getting some paint on the walls.  White is boring after a long, long time.  Next we would probably run down to the local discount furniture store and replace what we have in the bedroom currently with some newer furniture.  Depending on what we find there, might have to build some book shelves or install some shelves on the wall.  Most likely get some type of art work or painting to put on the wall.

One of these days we will eventually get around to painting all the rooms so each one will add some flavor to the house.  And once we get the spare bedroom done, we will just need to have some people come over and stay the night.

OK so they got to work on the office today.  It’s about 1/2 way done.  They say we should be able to move into it tomorrow.  I will snap some shots of it after we get everything installed and hooked up.

Happy?  Yeah for the most part, somethings I wish were different already, but who am I to complain.

Here you go:

I really like the overhead cabinets and shelves..

Wednesday I’m supposed to be getting my office at work re-done.  When I say re-done, it’s actually going to be re-done.

About 1-2 weeks ago the guy (Jordan) who is helping out (Phones and Desktop support while I focus more on servers and back him up) moved into my office due to space issues out on the floor (we just keep hiring people).  So right now it’s a little crowded with 3 full size desks.  Tomorrow we need to start moving things out to get ready for the re-do.

First they are going to slap some paint on the walls just cause it really needs a new coat.  Then they are installing some custom desks and matching shelves and a custom whiteboard.  Yeah I’m pretty excited.  Should give me some more space and for it to be a little better organized.

Tomorrow I will take a picture of the before shot and will take one after they are done.

Yeah…

The other day I was out back working on the yard (cause it really needs some help) and I stopped and stared at the back patio for quite a few minutes. I was looking at the patio furniture and I think it might be time for a change.

When we first moved in we bought some cool stuff that wasn’t very expensive, well it was, but maybe I should say the quality wasn’t as good. Now after two years the top part of the fabric is fading away and if you flip the cushions over it’s like night and day. lol..

I also should do a few more things like cover the grill, add a garden hose holder, and I can’t forget about the weeds. Those need to be killed also. I hate looking at them…

Now I just need to get in to a watering schedule so I can green up the grass and complete the entire backyard look, at least for now.
