Spring is here!

75 degrees and sunny today! I really hope we have seen the end of this dreary, cold and never-ending winter.

These are tulips that Greg brought back from Holland last year. I planted them way back in November and they just popped up. I hope they last long enough for G to see when he gets home next week.

Our peach tree is blooming too- thanks Kyra and Chandler!

Random stuff

Walk-in closets are finished! We have been living out of boxes since August and since closets were low on our priority list it took until now to finish them up. I think Greg was getting pretty tired of my stuff lying everywhere. So, time to get organized. It's going to actually be fun with all this room. Here's my fancy closet...


With our house contest prize money, we went ahead and ordered blinds for the entire house. We ended up getting the bottom-up/ top-down cellular shades and LOVE them. They let in just enough light too and don't cover up the trim. I'm sure the neighbors will miss watching Greg play the Wii though.

Here are a couple shots of our built-in desk off of the kitchen. We are now on the hunt for the perfect desk chair. Greg's also making some kind of cabinet on casters to hide the printer and cords.

G also built a very Scandinavian-looking cabinet to house all the TV stuff.

As soon as it gets warmer, door building begins. G's making 11 doors and we just got our hardware in. So pretty...

After my last blog post, something pretty cool happened. Someone in Raleigh stumbled across our blog and contacted us about having Greg build a breakfast nook similar to the one he had just done for us. Here is a picture of it all finished. I think they were happy with it and we met some really nice people along the way.
