Looking good, Murlo!
I haven't done too much this year besides general maintenance and up-keep, but I did rip out my front bushes and brick garden surrounds this spring and replaced them with new bushes (nice looking ones that flower, including two rose bushes) and wooden post boarders.
I bought an automatic robot vacuum which is freakin' badass! Bobsweep...basically Roomba's competitor.
I was also at Home Depot last night to pick out new kitchen appliances so I will be ordering those today. GE Adora-series in slate; french door fridge, dishwasher, gas range, and microwave.
Next up will be new kitchen counters and kitchen bathroom vanity set. I don't know exactly what I want yet, but I do know for the center island I'm going to have a large wooden cutting board made to act as the counter top.
