Busy with projects at home

Apologies once again for the lack of timely posts. This winter has been pretty darn boring for the Reynolds' Family. Weather wise we have been sitting pretty- warm and sunny most days (Always a plus). Unfortunately we haven't been doing a whole lot to enjoy the nice weather.
What we have been doing is slowly tackling a few home improvement type projects along the way. The list seems to be never ending and once we do one thing 100 more things pop in to our minds to be added to the Master List.
Below are a few pictures of the projects we have completed in the last couple of days.

The front flower beds were overgrown with sickly looking roses and huge ugly bushes. We pulled everything out (even made a trip to the city dump to drop off our green waste). In place of the old plants we planted a variety of palm type plants.










Today I finished painting the front door a vibrant red (in place of the boring green that was originally there)













And the most dramatic change was tiling the fireplace with beautiful glass tiles (replacing the dull tan ones that came with the house). The Dad did the bulk of the work with the Boy as an assistant and with me supervising the two of them.
