close up of the pool

So here are some shoots of the pool in summer time.  I tried to take some shoots this week but it has been gloomy all week.

DON'T MIND MY HUSBANDS FEET...LOL.  


We spend a lot of time in the backyard its one of the only ways to escape the 100 + degree heat that starts in may and ends in oct.

HOUSE TOUR...BACKYARD

I love my house... I have wanted to do a house tour for u for a while...but always worried about the unfinished or not picture perfect parts.


So here it is this month i am going to take you on a tour of my house and show u things I LOVE.....AND THINGS i AM WORKING ON.


SO LETS START WITH THE BACK YARD.

This is right outside our slider and small patio.  I know the gate is not sexy, but it allows me to sleep at night. the pool was built when E was 2 and g was in my tummy.  It has an automatic self latching lock that i can lock down  and never worry about it not closing behind me all the way.

.

This is our gazebo and bbq area.  we live in a.z. so grass is something you do not see a lot of in new homes. it just to expensive to keep watered.


I will show u closeups of the pool and bbq area and break down the ridiculous amount we spent on this backyard.  Live and learn.

these are a few of my favorite things..

I promise to get back into the paint and projects next week. I needed a break from the grind it was messing with my creativity to think i had to keep turning out project after project for the sake of my blog.  I am going to do it at my own pace from now on. 


So here are a few of my current obsessions.....







Photography.  I will be getting a new camera by the end of this year!

I will wall paper the closets in my house!
                                      
I will re-do gias room.....not in this color...


take a bold leap into the dark in my play/den room.. and the trim isn't so 
shabby either.



                                      
I will stain the kids room concrete then use these to add color to their rooms!


these are just a few of my favorite things. I have a lot going on this month ( mr. love letters is selling his biz.) we have been trying to sell it for a while so it is a very happy/stressful thing. he will be taking some time off so we will probably be doing alot of hiking and traveling.


till next time......
