Home Repair Updates {Plus a Home Depot Gift card Giveaway!}

This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. However all thoughts and pictures are my own.

Its been 3 months now that we have been doing some Home Repairs here and there around the house and I wanted to show you some of the updates that have been going on over here thanks to the Home Depot. Not only have they added more of a Hispanic feel to our home but they have also made it more welcome and user friendly. 

We knocked down the wall in the bathroom to expand it and add new pieces to it. Our floor had gotten ruined due to things out of our hands so it needed repair badly! We built a ramp outside to allow easier access inside and we got rid of all the carpet from the living room since it had become badly stained and instead put tile and a rug which we got from The Home Depot. Its much easier to maintain now. 

Here are some photos of all the construction and happenings: 

It doesn't sound like a lot or maybe it does, but it all took some time to get done in between major life changes at home. Some of it isn't even done yet and yes we didnt have a bathroom for a couple of days and it made life even harder. To our family these Home repairs have not only helped our home but have helped our lives by making our home more accessible to my dad. You never realize how much a piece of wood can affect you or even how grateful you can be for it. 

And now for a giveaway to get you started on your own Home Repair journey and bring a little sunshine to your world!

Getting our Home Ready for Fall with some more Home Improvements {Home Depot Gift card Giveaway}

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by The Home Depot.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Remember how I told you we were fixing up our home? Well this summer has been a very rough one for me and my family. We haven't been able to do as much as we wanted in the area of Home Improvements so now we are playing catch up! 

With the summer temperatures being over 100 constantly it was hard to keep our plants thriving but we are working on it. A couple of good outside days pulling up weeds and trimming around plants and sprucing around so far have given us a much neater looking yard over all. 

But I still do miss my flowers and we still have a long ways to go!

Fall is right around the corner and there are still plenty of things on my to do list that are important. One major one is our bathroom! 

Sadly our bathroom has gone through a lot of wear and tear. I wont go into big details but my dad fell in the bathroom and broke the bathroom and sink as he held on to it. It was already pretty old and needed to be replaced but now its just a MAJOR hazard! For every ones safety it has to be changed now! 

We got this combo Vanity for our bathroom and will be installing it soon {picture from the Home Depot website}. It should be pretty easy to install and I cant wait to see it up! 

Along with the wear and tear we need to repaint the wall and even add new tile to the bathroom floor! A lot of the tiles are loose and/or broken so when we rip out the bathroom toilet we are doing the floor along with it. 

Luckily our bathtub/shower is still in good shape but we are still adding in a new shower head to make our showers more powerful clean! 

I will be updating you on our shopping trip for more of the necessitates for this big redo! You can follow along with me with help from the Home Depot with your own gift card! You can enter to win one of three $50 Home Depot gift cards to help you on your own Home Improvement journey!

Please give a minute for the Rafflecopter to load. Thank you and Good Luck!

Fixing up Home

Yesterday we finally got a new ac window unit and its great! Our old one had gone kaput 3 days before. And that wasn't a surprise for us because it had been shutting down this whole summer. With the Texas heat being too much to handle it really struggled to keep the room cool and would shut off constantly. We knew it was giving out but thought we might make it through the heat and well Fall is pretty much here and it tried its hardest. Heres the adventure of our new ac. It was me my mom and sister making the house cool again.

          Yay! no more of the house being too hot. It sure feels good :)
