I love to work
on my home and there was a while where we were doing a lot of sprucing up on the inside of our home. Last year was supposed to be the year we
moved outside to give our yard and garden areas a complete overhaul. That spring we got started with the
demolition and then everything came to an abrupt halt. Not at all how I had
planned it and it left our yard looking absolutely terrible. Not to worry
though, because this spring I am planning to pick up where I left off and make
it look wonderful once again.
I have sketched
out my landscape plans, made lists and have some pretty good ideas in
mind. The plan is to do as much as we
can for FREE using up supplies we already have on hand as well as what we can
scrape up off of Facebook Marketplace and purchase with gift cards I've been
collecting.
The other thing
I'd like to do is refurbish my youngest daughter's bedroom when she goes off to
college. We've talked about it and she
and I both feel that her room, which is very much in need of a complete
makeover, should be the new guest room.
Once again I plan to employ some super thrifty moves to get that job
done.
I would not
expect me to perform any miracles this year as the plan is to work at a slow,
even, steady pace. I've been off my game
for a year now so I've got to build myself back up. Plus, my future home improvement plans are
really things I'm wanting to do once I'm retired. Since I'm not quite there yet I will get a
head start now, but I don't have any deadlines for completion at this
time. To be honest, it will depend on
how I feel as well as my stamina and energy level.
So right now we
have yard work and a bedroom refresh in mind.
We'll see how far I get, but I'm hopeful for some significant
progress. I love to work on my home and
I want a beautiful yard more than anything.
Right now it is a barren wasteland and I don't want to look at that again
this year. Let's do this!
I am out in SE Boise. I have perennials you can take and divide: Sedum Autumn Joy, Stella De Ore daylilies and Shasta daisies. Email me if interested. We can dig/divide as soon as I see new growth.
ReplyDeleteThat would be lovely. Thank you. :)
