The cause of broken fingers.

Remember when I got this?:

and that is was caused by installing this?:




Well here are the before, during and after pictures of my living room.


When I found this house on the market, I knew there would be lots of work involved to getting it how I liked it. The carpet was HIDEOUS. Seriously, it stunk so bad and was stained nastily. Underneath the gross carpet was spots of mold from where water oe pee or whatever it was. It was gross.

These pictures don't show the grossness of it, or the stench. :)

Then my dad and mom came over and helped almost every night to put in the new flooring - which is when i broke my finger.

And here is my living room now. I still need to add curtains and some things on the walls.

 

I'm back.....kinda.

So I mentioned a while ago that I bought a house. An old one. That was gross and needed some love. And I have given it some love. Cuz I love her. I named her Ella.

Here is what she looked like when I bought her:

What you can't see are the million of rotten plumbs,

 apples and apricots that needed to be cleaned up.

And by the way, those are not my cars.

Here is my house as of today.

It still has lots of work to do.

But so far I:

• 
  
  ripped out 3 earwig infested rose bushes
• 
  
  dug out flower beds that line the walkway (and planted flowers
• 
  
  painted my door red (red doors bring happiness apparently)
• 
  
  and dug out flowerbeds under my windows and along the side of the property

Still to do:

• 
  
  Paint the shutters black
• 
  
  Add window boxes under the 3 windows
• 
  
  pant bushes and flowers in the flowerbeds
• 
  
  make a new door frame 

This is only the front yard. The back yard need A LOT of love.....
