happy first anniversary house!

saturday marked a year since we became home owners of this gorgeous little 3 bedroom 1951 ranch house in sunny california, and looking around not too much has changed as far as renovations but thank goodness for before and after photos we can be proud of the things we have done :)we started with replacing the old washer and dryer with these lovelies and in the process came across these

we tore out the aged and chunky carpets

to find these beautiful hardwood floors

we tidied up the yard a bit

and the patio area

we learned how to prune trees

and came up with a garden plan

we still haven't removed the wallpaperas it's kind of grown on us...
but we have done stuff on the garage. first to go was our rat infested dry rotted potting shedthen we organised the inside

and most recently we gave it a new door

we have picked out some paint colours but there is still lots to do before we paint

we have watched the seasons come and go

and are constantly surprised by little gifts in our gardenand from the housewe've welcomed a new family member herewe've celebrated here

bryce asked me to marry him here

we've enjoyed friends here

and we're looking forward to what the next year here will bring as time rushes by...
