I Love Fall!

I added a little fall to our house this weekend. I used the artificial stems and flowers that we used for our wedding. 
For the dining room center piece I bought a couple of bags of mixed gourds and added a few stems.
I stuck some flowers in the urns by the front door and added a few pumpkins
and bought a few mums and some more pumpkins for out back by our bedroom door.
We slept in Sunday. It was so nice not to have anything to do.
Woke up Thursday morning to a snake in my living room! Perla brought it in. She is no longer allowed to come in and out while we are sleeping. I didn't even notice it in her mouth when I stumbled to open the door at 3:20 in the morning. 
Kev helped me take apart three pallets Saturday. I'm going to use them to make a head board for the guest bedroom.
I enjoyed our productive yet lazy weekend.

You can type in anything dealing with houses and get thousands and thousands of pictures to browse through. I look at EVERYTHING and pin the things I like on Pinterest. This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
