Before & After

This week we accomplished a couple of projects. Here are some pictures....

Our backyard before... (the dirt pit)

during...

and after.

After #2
(what a difference 3 hours on a Saturday morning & a bunch of money can make!)

My next project was to try to make our lovely green chairs (that we have had since we got married), and our bookshelf (gargage-sale-find) match the beautiful rosewood table that we inherited from Brian's sister Shelly when she recently moved. (Thank you Shelly!)

The chairs before...
The bookshelf before...
And after.
(Still not totally ideal, but better. Until I can afford the furniture I want, this will have to do...)
