House Renovation: Granite Step & Plants in!
Posted on | May 11, 2009 | 5 Comments
I hope everyone had a nice relaxing weekend. We worked on our gardens a bit. Greg finally got the granite step in. This time it’s not photoshopped. The step fits perfectly. I can’t believe we actually did it. The rock was a monster. In the second image our hydrangeas starting to sprout. We planted the hydrangeas and put in the granite pavers last fall.
My mom came down over the weekend and brought a few plants from her garden. I need a few more but we are off to a good start. I kinda wish I could snap my fingers and everything would be in bloom. Patience, katy. I need a flowering bush for the end of the garden. I’ve thought about lilacs, butterfly bushes, and lace cap hydrangeas. I have to keep looking around.

We Bought a House!

We bought a house in Marblehead, MA! We finally closed on the house this past Thursday. I am honestly still in shock and can’t believe that we own a home. The whole thing just doesn’t feel real.
We feel so lucky. Check out the house on flickr here. The image below is of Marblehead Harbor on our first night. The harbor is just a few blocks down the street from our house.

So I think we maybe homeowners in the next couple of weeks. Keep your fingers crossed and if nothing crazy happens I will have my house by mid-July. I can’t sleep at night because I’m so excited for all the fun projects we get to do. One of first projects I want to get done before winter is cleaning up the outside of the house. The roof needs work, chimney is caving in, put in a brick driveway, and the house needs to be re-painted. I was thinking maybe something creamish toward brownish color? My boyfriend thinks the color is a little to blah. I think it would be amazing with big green variegated hostas and hints of pink bushes and shrubs. Here are few photos I took of cream colored houses in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and Marblehead, MA over the past few weeks. What do you guys think?
