Our grass is coming in! Pre-grass: With grass (and holy hosta growth!): Pre: With: It's Kentucky Blue Grass, if you care, which if your little piggies were to touch this grass, you would care. It's toe indulgence at its finest.

Welcome to Jaeda's room! Just to remind us where we came from: (Btw, this was before we bought the house.) I think they call this Apartment Beige. I should know because we put in 6 years of apartment living! Now on to Jaeda's room. First are a couple overview pics; then...

When we moved in, we had a pretty good idea of what we would need to fix/replace/purchase. But man, the little things sure do add up! Here's why we made one of our purchases:                                   That was after it'd gone through the dishwasher. Helloooo, water softener.  ...
