The 20 Something Society

Nothing big but we updated something in the house.  We went from these little plastic vent covers..

To these cute little decorative vent covers.  I think its a subtle, yet effective improvement.

I love my KitchenAid rubber spatula batter thingy.  I have other rubber spatula batter thingys which now sit in the drawer unused because they are inferior.  The KitchenAid is perfectly bendy and perfectly sized and perfectly orange.

First off – happy st.patricks day and happy birthday Grandaddy!!

The husband and I decided we needed to start cleaning up the front yard.  It really is a wreck.  Dead leaves in the flower bed, weeds to be pulled, plants to be planted, hedges to be trimmed….the works.  

The weather is still grey and in the 50′s but we couldn’t wait any longer.

Not pretty yet, but an improvement.

More from the garden.

We have decided to start a vegetable garden this year.  Well, last year we had tomatoes.  But this year we want to grow much more.  The plan is to build four raised vegetable garden beds.  And then build a little fence around them so Klaus won’t ruin them.  Our journey started with a weekend trip to Lowes.  Because Lowes knows.

Distraction one —oooh pretty flowers.

Distraction 2 —”Hey, this drawer pull looks like a mustache!”

aaaaaaaand my camera died.  Thats the first round of pictures from the Our First Garden series.

Just a shot of the side table beside the chair my butt usually occupies in our living room. I like it.

When we moved into the house it was filled with these brass door knobs of which I do not approve.

Changing all of the doorknobs in the house was a project we could have put off.  Except for one thing.  The knob on our bedroom door keeps popping right off everytime we grab it.  So we took a little trip to our local Lowes today and purchased a doorknob of which I did approve.  When we arrived home the husband installed it and we have decided that….we love them!

Ahhhhh, much better.  They are the Gatehouse brand in aged bronze and they are only eleven bucks!  Nice.

I went outside to walk the pup this morning, and all of a sudden….

the leaves had fallen!  I guess it is officially fall, just in time for Halloween!  I have always loved the sight of leaves on the ground, but now that I have a yard, that comes with the disappointment that I have to rake them all up.

Simply Seafoam baby!!

Featuring my totally awesome locker inspired shelving.  I ordered some locker numbers from a locker supply company and am planning on gorilla gluing them to the bins.  Everything else came from Lowes!

We finished priming the study today, and tried out our sample colors.

The one on the left is Valspar – Simply Seafoam and the one on the right is Soft Jade, but I can’t remember if it is Martha Stewart or Seaside Retreats! 

We chose (drumroll please)………..

Simply Seafoam!  We are planning on painting tomorrow night.
