front yard mini garden

time to start thinking about what my front yard should look like. The front yard tree is going to be removed soon, yay! I'm finally going to be able to beautify my front yard.
my front yard is a total mess at the moment, see? i've got to remove all of the scalloped red brick edging, yuck!

kitchen planning

My kitchen inspiration

Ok, the BF and I are planning everything out for the kitchen renovation. i need the following items: dishwasher, gas range/stove, over the range microwave, sink, garbage disposal, and faucet. I've been searching the internet for the best deals and i always come back to two locations: Home Depot and Overstock.

lighting & mailboxes

i've been searching for the right solar powered wall sconces for my front yard/garage area. Why solar powered? 1. i've got to save energy and $$ 2. No electrical wiring available in that area and i'm not gonna rewire anything! I probably would benefit from learning, but i don't have the time or patience to learn how to do all that. I found these two lamps that I think may look nice.
