Summer is coming and aside from spending more time outside the house, summer is one season you want all your home renovations done. And for this year, we decided to extend our deck and build a lower patio for a more spacious place for barbeques and now that we just recently bought Ella her new playhouse, we needed a space where we could put it.
Another renovation in the list is our front yard. We didn’t touched it last year when we installed our sod for the backyard as I am planning to hire a professional landscape specialist to do our front yard. I already have landscape designs and ideas and can’t wait to discuss it with our landscaper. (Will post pictures later on)
And lastly, although we already started changing our beds, and flip our living area. We now decided to give it more color. Before we did the flip, the color of our furnitures were all monotone (either black leather sofa or brown). Now since both myself and my hubby are into HGTV network (he is more addicted to it than me!). We added some colors and now bought some pieces that will stand out from the crowd of boring earth tone furnitures. One example is our newly bought leather red ottoman to go with our leather sofa. And for storage, I bough some antique chest which can function as storage for Ella’s toys and decorative piece in front of our fireplace (which is the focal point of the house). I am doing some window treatments as well and changing our curtain to a stylized vertical fabric blinds. I’m not sure if I’ll be successful and if I could convinced my hubby but all I know is, I want more color now and this is the year to do it! (as per my horoscope! J)
