Rv Gate/cement soon to come!

On Monday our cement will be poured and the new gate put in! I cannot wait to post pictures of it- it's gonna look great! This is an expensive project but will be worth it! We found some guys to do it for a dang good price so that makes me feel better about it all. This is a pic of where the driveway will be extended and you can see what our gate is right now.

Tyler had to redo some of our sprinklers and drip system cause "an idiot put them in" so he says. And we have to do it before cement on Monday so he has been workin hard all day. I don't know how he does it in this heat!
Where the new walkway will be. We are putting a walkway in so I can put a big rustic bench in front of the house! jk that is just a plus- we are doing it so when we add a garage one day people will have a way to get to our front door cause right now it sends people through the carport.
Can't you just imagine a cute bench and some big pots overflowing with flowers?? :) Speaking of flowers though- My poor babies are going to be ripped out and are pretty much dead already. What a waste of money- we just put those in! Oh well I will get over it.

Well I will for sure post when it is all done!

First Post- So far


So, here are some before pictures of our cute little house in Mesa, AZ.
Sorry they are so small- they were copied from the internet cause we were dumb and didn't take any ourselves!

The master bedroom
The living room
the family room
family room again
the outside
So if you can't tell- there was a wall between the family and living room. It made both rooms just seem so small so we knocked out that wall and made one big room. Also I don't have a pic of the kitchen but it had a low ceiling and plain oak cabinets. The floors inside were that sticky vinyl tile that you just peel off and put on the cement. Now here are some pictures of what we have done so far..


The kitchen- I painted the cabinets a cream color and then distressed them and made them shabby chic. My husband added the veneer brick in the kitchen pop out. He got the materials cheep and did it himself through the company he works for- Copper Canyon Stone.
The family room with the wall knocked out. It opens it up so much. By the way I know my walls are a little plain but don't worry more project photos are coming in the near future! Also we put in the travertine tile and I absolutely love it! I love the pattern it has.
The outside. We painted the house that green color and got a new black roof and put in some grass. This weekend we are pouring some cement so pics will come of that finished project. We also added black shutters but I am planning to re-do them sometime in the near future hopefully.
The dining room. This room has now changed some and I will get an updated picture of it soon! My bike is no longer there and we have an awesome desk in there now that my husband made.

So this is the pictures we have so far. We have changed alot of stuff already so I will try and get some posts up of the updated rooms.
