OUR BACK PORCH


We are having in Texas one of the most rainy Spring seasons since we moved here eighteen years ago.
Normally at this time of the year we are already in the triple digits with not a cloud in sight.
Not this year. It has literally rained almost every day for months now, so most of our outdoor projects 
have been waiting to be finished.

We have our deck almost finished and it will be completed as soon as we can get a couple of dry days in a row,
 so, meanwhile, I have been sprucing up our porch a bit.

NEUTRAL COLORS ON THE FRONT PORCH


I think this is my first time ever not using bright colors to decorate the front porch.
Life has been so busy lately and now with all the upcoming repairs that will be done to our home, I know I won't have time to make changes to the porch decor, so I decided to just give it an "everyday look", something that I can carry into Summer if necessary.

LINEN CLOSET ORGANIZATION


Every year in the Spring is when I try to organize our home, going through closets and storage areas.
It is crazy how many things you can accumulate and how disorganized closets can get.
 Last week I finally had the time to give our linen closet a complete makeover.

STILL SPRING IN OUR KITCHEN


Time is going by so fast that before we know it we will be decorating our home for Summer.
I haven't done much holiday decorating this year. Just too much happening behind the scenes and not enough time 
for everything. 
I did manage to decorate a bit for Easter and when the bunnies were put away, I just made some small changes 
to our kitchen decor.

DIY WOOD LABELS


While I wait around for the repairs of our home to start (this is a slow process) I have been keeping myself 
busy organizing our home.
 Our linen closet is one area I have been wanting to redo for a while, so that was my project last week.
 First thing I did was to find some very large baskets and make some wood labels.

TUESDAYS AT OUR HOME #160 & FEATURES


WELCOME TO TUESDAYS AT OUR HOME!


I hope you had a good weekend. Ours was spent doing our annual Spring yard cleaning. That was a lot of work!
With all the rain we have had so far this year, the flower bed on front of our home looked like a jungle.



And six hours later and fourteen trash bags of clippings, this is what it looks like. Much better, right?
Although these old bodies are going to hurt the rest of the week. :)
We still have to pressure wash the stone around the flower bed, but after six hours of work we were exhausted so it will have to wait until next weekend. 



 Before we start the party, lets take a look at some of last week features. 

LZ at The Summery Umbrella  built a beautiful potting bench with reclaimed wood. 

 Jolena at While I Linger gave her counter chairs a new look.


 Lori at Dining Delight shared with us her gorgeous outdoor space.


 Debbie at Debbie-Dabble shared her beautiful powder room.


 Christina at Mom's Messy Miracles shared a wonderful recipe for Cherry Cheesecake Ice Cream Cupcakes.


 The Super Mommy Club  shared a wonderful collection of Mexican food recipes.



 Emily at Nap Time Creations refashioned a tote bag with vinyl. Love this project!


 Taylor at Sugar & Succulents built a beautiful crate ottoman.
