This weekend I am so excited to tackle a project for our second living room (aka Conner’s man room) and have a new room! I know we did this already but I’m not satisfied with how it looks (are we ever?) so I’m making over some furniture and attempting a gallery wall.
I am starting the project using this Chevron stripe as a pattern and stencil. I really, really hope it works because the picture I have in my head looks so good! When the image is clear and right in your head there are only two ways for a project to go – even better than the image or really terrible. Lets hope it is the first and I have a great makeover to show you next week!
Yesterday we worked on cleaning up one of the front beds. The monkey grass was completely out of control so we cut that back and laid some new mulch. I am so excited because the tree that is in it is a Redbud and it is blooming beautifully!
We have tulips coming up (the previous owner planted them, I wasn’t sure what was going to happen this spring!) and the Japanese Maple has little buds all over it, ready to pop open and bloom! I love spring!!
Our double knock-out rose bush on the side of the garage is greening up and I can see some early buds on it as well. I am super excited that the tree on this side is also a Redbud!! The tree behind it is a Magnolia tree and I am just waiting for that one to flower too.
Here is a close-up of the Redbud tree. I’ve never had one before, always seen them on the streets in other people’s yards and business, so this is a huge thrill for me to have several!
