Redo, Part Deux

We have a lot going on right now, which I will share at a later date. We have been on this home improvement kick, most recently the patio. There are no before pictures because it was just uber plain... Here is the after:


We love it and we have the umbrella that we can put up for a little shade...lovely. Also, my husband's new favorite thing:

Yep, a Red Sox grill cover... He is obsessed...

So the next thing we have to work on is the "nursery":

Lord, help us... Do you see this? I am so overwhelmed, I want to cry. Last night we had friends over for a cookout and one of our friend's daughters (like 5 & 9?) offered to clean it out for $100. The older one was appalled that her little sister would charge, but please! Nobody would take that on for free!! :) They were so cute. (Is it bad that I am really thinking about utilizing that resource??) Then, the guest room... that is a nightmarish mess. What happened? We started something and then it just all went downhill.... Boo...
