Aqua mailbox and other home improvements

Last weekend, David and I worked a little bit more on the house. It was really nice, and I wanted to post some photos, but David beat me to it and posted them on his blog. I’ll Show you guys too, with some before and afters.

Cuttings of rosemary and salvia greggii I’m trying to root. And, I didn’t really “steal” them, pfft, don’t listen to David.

Cutie pie, Mojito.

I spray painted our mailbox and outdoor lights the same aqua that I used on my vases indoors. Soon, we’re getting hardiplank installed and that ugly wood ripped out too, I can’t wait. Oh, in this shot you can also see the solar walkway lights I installed and my new red car. I also have several plants planted in the walkway to the front door, but I’ll take photos of that maybe in the spring when they get bigger and bloom.

Another shot of the mailbox. In spring, I will be planting Four O’clocks and other lovely plants around the mailbox and front yard too. Exciting!

Here was the mailbox and lights before we purchased the house.

That same weekend, we also got a lot of painting done in the guest room, and some more work in the master bedroom too, I’ll post photos when that is finished.
