Drumroll Please....

I chose to paint our front door black!

Tomorrow is the big day. I'll be sure to take pictures when it's done.

Black or Red?

I recently received approval from our landlord to paint our front door. It's currently unpainted "primer white."

Can you help me decide on a color? I'm leaning towards black or red. Which do you like better?

Or should I go with turquoise? I can't decide!

Water Matters

Our water bill was paid by the HOA in our townhouse complex. So, naturally, we used exorbitant amounts of water. We left the water running all the time - especially when brushing our teeth, doing dishes and waiting for the hot water in order to shower. It was ridiculous.

I didn't realize how bad it was until we received our water bill last month. With just the two of us (and Rose!) we spent $43 on WATER (sewer & trash too)!! CRAZY!

So, this past month we tried to cut back, and I'm pretty excited because we got our water bill today. It was only $19!!!

Phew!

Our Home

Living in a house is so much more work than a townhouse! We even have 400 less square feet, but it definitely takes longer to clean. We have to mow the lawn now that it's getting warmer, too.

I wouldn't trade it for the world though. I LOVE living in our home! There's so much light, no stairs, less toilets to clean and it feels like a home - even though it's not ours.

Do you live in a house? Apartment? Townhouse? What do you love about it??
