Happy New Year!!!!
Well…Santa is gone, the ball has dropped, and New Year resolutions are in full swing. Of course on the list is to work out more (blah blah) and get this house in shape as well. We still have some really GREAT projects in store so you just wait!!! One of my FAVORITE projects is happening right now….but i’m not going to show you pictures until its finished so STAY TUNED :)
Apparently its a year of lighting for the Edwards! Got some new much needed lighting installed!! Also decided to rip out a book shelf…and well found a leak in the wall..and well had to rip out the drywall in the family which was soooo convenient….(that’s sass) but good thing the hubs knows what to do. (see photos below 
As you may recall…we had the house stucco-ed a little while back but because its very pricey we only did the downstairs portion…so with a new year brought new stucco! Yep we got the upstairs finished off and got new stucco on the entire house! Its finally finished and i feel sooo much better. The ugly siding is now gone and it looks like a new house. Now we just have to wait for it to “really” dry then painting the house AGAIN we go..but at least this time around…its cooler out.
Speaking of…its been chilly…real chilly. I dont care what you say 33 degrees is cold…so cold our fountain in our front yard FROZE! (See photo below)
Anywho….enjoy some fun new things we got…and Cheers to 2012! Here’s another chance to get it right!!
