That is the before picture. Big changes are coming. I put in a fence today. I am anxious to finish the new walkway, but it is still too wet. Tomorrow I will plant the hollywood junipers, put edging around the beds, and lay down mulch. I want to put in a foot path. I am considering pea gravel...dark red..looks more brown than red or neutral tan/brown. The red ties more into the house. The tan more into the walkway (tan pavers). Hmmmm, maybe I will mix them! I chose tan pavers because the brick colored pavers looked out of place against the brick of the house...as if you just couldn't match the brick. Contrasting ended up looking better than an off-match.

Okay...I will tell the awning is gone, long gone. I think I tore it off the first week I moved in. I hated it. We have done some major remodeling inside. This house was not so great when we purchased. Split up into apartments and horrible, horrible kitchens.

I will post a couple pictures of the remodeling. We are very proud of work completed so far.
