Sexy pool chair waiting on the pool



Sexy desk waiting on a chair



Sexy light waits for no one



Living room not so sexy. Doubling as an art studio right now. We will figure it out someday.



One of Wendy's new sexy side tables. from Uptown Modern

replaced crossbar

Replaced the crossbars on the three store front doors with regular handles. Much cleaner look.

update!

Planter with red lava rock and cactus.





We put neon yellow poster board above the false ceiling for a cool reflective light effect in the day time.

also pictured is the new vent covers.

bye!

cactus

Cactus come home from "The Great Outdoors" nursery.


This cactus had to wait until our neighbor could help me get it out of the truck. Thanks Kelly and Stacy.

Our criss cross light at night.

refinished chairs

We have two of these. I need to find a before photo - brown chair, brown cushion - ugly. Now they are black with blue velvet cushions - nice.


We found this chair next to a dumpster. We haven't really done much to it except clean it off and throw some cushions on it from Urban Outfitters.

Newbie

Welcome to Agave! We crossed paths earlier this week and she told us all about her great Kevin Stewart 3 story purchase.

July

We finally painted some walls in our house. We started with the first vestibule and painted it a dark teal gray color and put up a Syroco tree sculpture that I painted white.

Some new photos from around Agave...

Air conditioning vents suck and they are the one thing I think can ruin a perfectly clean interior. I found these and they may be an off the shelf remedy.
From Venting Direct - Various prices under $100

Solar Security Floodlight

For the record I hate when people put these things over their garage blasting the neighborhood with a blinding light. To me they make a street look more like a prison yard than somewhere I want to come home to. That said this looks like a pretty good solution for a side yard type of area that you don’t have to wire and it has a motion sensor. I think I might put this on the side of our house that we currently have no light on. I promise not to strap it to the front of our car port with some duct tape and loose wire.
Price: $68.00

moving in

Closing night our friends the Avilas brought us dinner and champagne!


Mexican food and a new house - two thumbs way up!


Our next door neighbors joined the party!


Moving trucks came Monday and unloaded a bunch of stuff we don’t want anymore. Why did we keep so much stuff?




Heywood Wakefield Triple Crown China buffet


HW table


I am so very happy that this we are finally in!!!


Finally our new refrigerator



Happy happy home owner.

closed! closed Friday!! moving truck comes tomorrow! I spent the last two days sealing the concrete floors. Wendy has been sick but is recovering in time for the move. More on all this soon with photos.

get r done

Final inspection on the house was completed yesterday. A few minor fixes and we should be ready to complete this deal by next week. Lets all keep our fingers crossed.

Starting to think about pools again...

Just some things to think about.

New roof.

That’s the roofer doing a great job (that’s wishful thinking)


go roofer go


our front patio area with stucco! That turned out exactly the way we wanted.


The landscapers are notorious for leaving in the middle of doing something and not returning for days or weeks. This pile of sod has been here for at least a week. That looks like about 15 more minutes to finish the job to me but not to the landscaper. It’s as if a giant bell tolls out at Agave at random times and everyone drops what they are doing and runs away. I have seen half eaten lunches left in the carport and power tools still plugged in with no one around for days.

Agave - live the mystery.
