After years of looking and years of planning, Jeff and I have finally moved in to an (almost) complete home. Besides a few boxes in Alex's room and the storage closet that needs organized, we are barely showing signs of the move. Oh, and the artwork is propped up on around the walls where Jeff is still thinking about hanging it. We will eventually have a finished parking area and courtyard once the weather starts to warm. The final touches will be stained decks and a good power washing. Construction on the other four town homes next to ours continues so it wouldn't really be prudent to worry too much about the dust and debris.Within the next couple of months, we will begin to beautify the outdoor spaces with lots of flowers, potted tomato plants, herbs, and a small tree.
I have put in a request with the city to plant trees on our sidewalk facing the city. They get grant money from TreeVitalize and will do it for free if you agree to take care of the tree(s).I think that is just wonderful. Hopefully we get trees this summer. I am not sure what the waiting list is like. We would do it ourselves but the city doesn't allow it. I guess they have enough problems with the sewer system...tree roots just add another layer of decay.
We have a couple of pieces of furniture that have yet to be delivered. Specifically, bar stools, a credenza (I love that word), and nightstands. They should all be on site by the end of March. We have rooftop furniture in one of the garages next to us. I can't wait to check it out...maybe in a couple more months. Last Saturday I woke up and saw the sunrise...right from my bed out the back of the house. I just laid there and soaked it all in...it was the icing on the cake. Slowly but surely our house is turning into a warm and cozy home. I hope you all come to visit. Thanks for taking the
journey with me...now I have a magazine and a fireplace that are calling my name.
