A Bit of SA in US ;)

There's a narrow strip of garden space on the one side of the house that had grass-like growth coming up that we couldn't identify and didn't really like the look of, so we planted a row of flower bushes native of South Africa called Fynbox, which means "fine bush" in Afrikaans.  They're so pretty and vibrant against the yellowish/tan stucco on the exterior wall. 

Entryway Tile Project

This project took about two weeks to do - from selecting the tiles and ordering them to lifting the old tiles to cutting and laying the new ones.  I'm glad it's over because we discovered that the entryway gets a lot of traffic from other points of the house, not just from the front door.

We chose a ceramic tile in light gray for the floor.  It's goes well with the white walls and is a nice transition into the living room which has a charcoal heather color on the walls.  Unfortunately, I don't have any Before pictures, but just imagine old, mismatched, rigid slate tiles and you'll get the picture.
