Back in the house that I literally hated. Notice that I say hated and not hate! That's a switch. When we bought this house and moved in it was in need of much renovation. We tried living in it while DH remodeled but it was going so slow and it was so hard to live here without just a few modern conveniences like a dishwasher, garbage disposal, normal kitchen cabinets...you know, not alot, just a few things.



This is my dog Abi who loves the backyard. It is huge and lush. I'm not quite sure what these plants are but I need to learn.


I do know that this is a pomegranate tree and boy is it full. Ellen made jam with them last year. Hmmm...maybe she'll do that again!

This is the only rose bush on the property. I think it needs some attention but for now I'm loving the flowers that are on it. Again, I need to learn!

This huge frog came with the house and I will make sure he stays. Isn't he cute and froggy! Should we give him a new paint job?


So there's a little tour of the house that I once hated. We are very happy here now and plan to stay for a LONG time! Still some work to do since DH is never done remodeling. Next time I'll show you the remodeling that he did in Myrna's little apartment. She too, hated this house but is now very comfortable. I guess you say "all's well that ends well!"

Those purple flower plants are British Ruella. I have several in my yard and I love them! So do the quail -- I have seen them jump up to catch a flower and then eat it!
What a darling house Kim! I just love all of those trees & I am especially envious of the pomegranate! Saw the article in the Trib yesterday ~ I had no idea!!
congrats on your beautiful home! it is gorgeous, and although older homes can be hard to renovate, their charm & personality makes it all worth while! may you have many, many, many happy years enjoying it!
It was nice chatting with you today. I'm really envious of your very cool house. It has character, and isn't in "Beigeville". More photos please!
