The front bushes had started to die and they always looked terrible in general, so we tackled removing them, which was quite a feat. Then of course making the area pretty after that was the next task. As I am not the one with the green thumb, I passed that task on to another.

To say the least, I've been distracted and there's definitely been a drought on work and posts. To try to get something significant done on the house, I recently tackled the front entryway which has been the only part of upstairs that's untouched by new trim or paint. So, here's the before and afters.

| Closet with old-style trim |
 |
| New door never trimmed out |
 |
| Close up. I need to cutback the chair rail. |
 |
| Front door with new trim. |
 |
| Semi-fancy custom pieced together trim. |
 |
| All painted. |
 |
| Little wider shot of finished product. |
Let's see if that sparks some creativity to tackle some more projects. Perhaps?
 |
| Indeed. |
