Spring Flowers... and some bushes too

There are so few clear days in spring that we decided to spend a few of them planting some much needed color into our yard.

We also added some fresh bark. 

 Alternating purple and white

We also added two bushes, with three more to come.

Sorry for the break.

So I must again, apologize for the long pause in posts. With the introduction of our new little guy (and lack of sleep) it was difficult to drum up the motivation to not only blog but even do some DIYing. However, we are getting used to the little one and we are back to home improving and life improving :)

For more on what we have been doing since Jacob feel free to go to "The Good Life" above.

A Linen Organizing

We have a linen closet in our bedroom. Behind closed doors (out of sight out of mind kind of thing) was a really big mess. But every time I opened that door to get a towel or some toilet paper I would cringe. I really wish I would have had the forethought to actually take a picture of the "before," but alas I forgot. No joke, it was really awful we had just begun piling comforters, pillows and sheets on top of each other. 

This the mess it created in our bedroom before we got started on fixing things.

It was pretty simple really once we got started, but you know, getting started is the hard part. Greg cut some bracers, spaced out perfectly apart from each other and then screwed them into the wall. 

We bought some ready primed wood from the "Big Box" store (better known as Home Depot for those of you who have not seen the Ace Hardware store commercials), cut them to size and placed them in. 

See how nice organization can be?
