Hot, hot, hot!

It's been a while since I've posted anything because it is just too darn hot to be outside and I've done nothing knew with the interior. The grass is slowly dying because the area is on a voluntary water restriction. The tomatoes, however, are coming in nicely. I can't wait to take my first bite of drippy, juicy yumminess.

Dining room redo.

Here are the latest updates. C and I put a lot of work into the dining room over Memorial Day weekend. The walls are actually a pale khaki color. I love how the new lamp gives them a golden glow. The curtains are a reddish color, but end up looking like the wood in these photos.

I'm pretty impressed with my new Mission-style dining set. I love the hutch.

Here's the dining room with the old ugly curtains and lamp.

Here's a semi-fuzzy photo of the dining room with the new lamp and curtains.

Here is the fabulous lamp I installed (with a significant amount of help) all lit up.

This is the unlit lamp so you can get a better idea of the colors in it.

This is the herb garden now. Scroll down the page to see how it looked when it was first planted.
