My Grandmother has a plaque in her kitchen that reads, " a house is made of bricks and stone, but a home is made of love alone." I always loved that plaque because its words ring true.
On May 18, 2010 Chris and I became proud homeowners to a 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath house in Phoenix. It is a beautiful new home with a great open floor-plan.
One of the reason we fell in love with the house was the neighborhood. It has a great community pool (behind our house), beautiful green grass everywhere and many of our neighbors are young, first-time home owners like us.
Chris has worked hard on the landscaping of the backyard. He designed the look, and then met with a landscaper to help make his vision a reality. Chris is currently working on planting some new plants in the yard such as: Birds of Paradise and peach bushes. It is great to be able look our our windows and see our gorgeous backyard. Once the weather cools down I know we will be out there all the time.
Currently, Chris and I are working on furnishing and decorating the house. We just purchased a living room set this weekend! But it may be awhile until we add any more.
As for decorating we have not done too much. We want to really decide what we want before nail holes in the wall. We have decided to do our kitchen with a wine theme and our guest bathroom with a beach theme.
Our house might not be full of fancy paintings or expensive furniture, but it is filled with love. It is a fun project for us to work on together, and I will keep everyone posted as we continue to work on our house.
