{renovate} landscaping, reveal

Awhile ago I showed you our little front yard project. And then I just left you hanging. Are we done? Yep Have we been done for awhile? Oh yeah.

I'll be back next week to feature a few of my favorite plants and pass a long a few tips we learned that made the job a little easier.

Happy weekend!
