Other projects of the summer...

Before all the flooring, my other goals of the summer/spring were to make our spare room into an actual guest room with bed and all. :) This way I had a better place for grandparents to stay when they came to visit, and it was used every month this summer, each time with the bed in a different spot, or set up, but I'm so glad to have a place to easily customize to whoever is here. :) I also recently decided that I wanted somewhere to keep my sewing machine set up, so I reworked the room yet again. And am very happy with the result.

And, our Memorial Day project was to pull out a portion of the deck and patio out back and put in grass. I don't think I took any before pictures of the deck, but I do have a couple after ones here. We don't have a huge yard, but felt like by having more grass, especially next year when Jonathan is running and playing around, it will be more condusive to a toddler. :) And, yet again, my brothers got roped into our long weekend priject, they were such a great help to Jeremy and I, and we really appreciate their willingness to help out!
