We have a new addition in our backyard and it greatly (greatly) pleases the youngest member of our household. Yep. Kenton’s first swing. We’d been on the lookout for one for a while, hoping to find a great deal on Craig’s List or at a local kid’s consignment store. However, while walking through Costco with [...]

HOA = Not so Dreamy
Posted in After, Before, DIY, Outdoors on May 15, 2011 | 2 Comments »
The Dream is in a neighborhood with a Homeowner’s Association (HOA). Everyone who has experience with a HOA knows this cuts both ways. It protects us from having to deal with our neighbors painting their houses purple – but we have to DEAL with the HOA and their sometimes over-the-top demands. As far as HOA’s [...]
The time of year we Dream about…

This weekend, we had our friends over for dinner. With the Arizona desert temps finally dropping below 100, we enjoyed our meal outside. By candlelight. Chowing down on the all-important Fall staples – cornbread & chilli. Bowdoin the Bulldog drooled with jealousy. It was a fabulous time!
Happy Dreamday!

For our first official post of the summer, what better topic than the backyard grill/BBQ? Who wouldn’t dream of having a custom-built BBQ on your patio? Nice feature, huh? Kinda pricey though. Unless you “inherit” the sad shell of a former such luxury with your foreclosed home, which you bought with your super-handy hubs, whose [...]

Hiya! Remember us? Yeah, we’re The Dreamers. That fun couple (probably friends of yours, lucky dog) who started this blog about renovating their new home (a foreclosure) all by themselves… who then got so lost in that DIY process they stopped blogging for a whole month! SHAME. ON. US. But, we’re ba-a-a-a-ack! And boy oh [...]
Pile of Dreams

Sorry we’ve been MIA for the last couple of weeks. VERY exciting Dreamscaping progress is taking place. So, we haven’t actually been “missing” – just lost in our own backyard. However, after this weekend, we may lose it. Check out what just landed at the Dream: …and that’s just half of it. Srsly. This is [...]
