I know you are all feeling more and more at home in my house with all these gah-niffty photos I am posting. I figured I would formally welcome you into my house. I am making it really hard for rapist, murders, and thieves to come find us. They would be bitterly disappointed with our 19 inch TV…although they would get a killer Mac and a buttload of photography equipment. None the less, here is the before and after of our little abode.
BEFORE SHOT
No color or life…ugly plastic green flower boxes with dead petunias…gotta love it!
Here is the standard boring angle. We in no way are trying to pass our house off as having “landscape”. These are the pathetic excuses for shrubs and mulch that we were left with. Ryan is trading out services with a landscaper so hopefully next year that huge wailing wall on the left will have shrubs or at least an ounce of aesthetic presence. Focus more on the fire engine red door, new flower boxes, plants and rod-iron set.
More interesting angle of the porch.
Come on up the stairs….let the red call you.
You may want to take a break after traversing all 10 stairs. Have a look around at some of our sketchy neighbors who take NO pride in their homes.
We even have a super sweet door knocker. I am probably inside watching Prices Right or Family Feud because we only get 15 channels.
By the way…for those of you tracking the “Pyrex Incident”, I had a lovely chat with Debbie at Pyrex who let me know it wasn’t my fault (as if I didnt know this!) and I will receive my new 9 X 13 casserole dish within a week! That is all I was looking for. Thank you Debbie….A+ on customer service.
Totally cute house and I love the fabric and craft project you did (in the previous two posts)…. and you look SOOOO cute by the way!! My basketball is getting heavier by the day
love the red. my door is red, too!!

1- bite me, debbie. but, good try at making up for the gigantic mess in the oven and the broken hearts without an amazing dinner.
2- red door, eh? roooxanne, you don’t have to put on the reeed light…..
love, love, love those boxes. The grasses are oh so stylish! I cant believe that casserole dish just exploded…that would give me a major cooking complex. Glad to see you are getting back in the ring. Go Debbie!

oh, and uh…by the way… it’s “The Price is Right”, not “Prices Right”… come on, Kel.
Oh your house looks great! We’re planning on doing some small projects around here and it’s making me more excited about getting things done
Also, I’ll pray for you that things work out for you to be able to work from home like I know you want to. God will work it all out 
You’re going to be a great mommy!
