More House Projects!

We've finished up a couple projects around here lately, including spreading the rest of the gravel in the firepit (all Miran). We also moved the grill over and put it where a future bench might be located. The areas on both sides of the path around the tress will both be encircled with more edgers eventually and filled with mulch. There is also a small planter rectangle in the middle of the path.

Also, I realized I never posted a picture of the lovely corner cabinet Dad made for the living room, and which I painted a peacock blue. To match, and to have one big solid blue thing in each room, I also replaced the carpet in the living room with one of the same color. I still love the white rug look, but it was really quite dingy already after less than a year (and no shoes inside). Maybe I'll switch back out for next spring/summer, because this darker rug certainly has a warmer fall/winter feel.

Finally, I also installed a backsplash on the new side of the kitchen. I'm incredibly pleased with how it turned out, especially considering my lack of experience with tiling. Miran helped with the couple of tiles that needed to be cut, but because it was basically a simple rectangle, there wasn't too much of that thankfully. In fact, it turned out so uncomplicated and inexpensive, I am now thinking I should buy more tile and do the old side of the kitchen as well.
