I have been waiting all evening to sit down and type up this post. I'm so excited for you to see the before and after pictures from our first home improvement project of the season.. the flowerbed! As we ventured out trying to find the flowers/supplies for our project, we realized what all we really needed. The flowerbed was in horrible shape and we were basically giving it a complete reconstruction instead of just a face lift. Our first stop was Walmart. Yes, because I love that place just way too much. We weren't too thrilled at the flower selection so we just got our tools there and went across the street to Lowe's where we hit the jackpot, or so it felt like we did. We found the perfect amount of flowers in all the pretty colors that we wanted. We also got our soil and mulch from there, too! Then it was home to get the project underway. Our first step was to rid the current flowerbed of leaves, weeds, rocks, basically everything you don't want mixed in with your flowers.
So, that's what we did..
Once the flowerbed was rid of the junk you see in the photo above, it was time to start digging and planting. Here are the before and after pictures:
What a difference huh? To say that I am thrilled and excited about the new flowerbed would be a huge understatement. There is still more work to be done (especially growing grass!) but we're off to an amazing start. When more additions are made to the area, we'll definitely be posting about them!
