Happy February everyone! February 14th is Valentines day and I've come up with a list of perfect home improvement Valentine's gifts for you or your loved one!

Invest in some landscaping.  You won't believe how much a landscape make over can do for you and your home.  

Create a focal point.  Whether it be a new centerpiece or statement wall decor, a focal point in your interior design gives your home character and a personal sense of style.  

Grow an edible garden.   The perfect gift to yourself or a loved one for your new year's resolutions.  Treat yourself to trying new things and living healthy!

Hope this helps! To conclude, here's a little dog wisdom:  Everyone thinks they have the best dog. And none of them are wrong. " -W.R. Purche   Take care friends!

Get Inspired By This Quote From Our Office Chalkboard Walls.   We are all about inspirational quotes; obviously, since our walls are covered with them! Get inspired with us and check out our favorite quote this month, straight from our office walls. 

"The harder the conflict, the greater the triumph" -George Washington

February 20th is President's Day, and what more perfect way to celebrate than with a quote from our very first, George Washington.  Although Washington first said this to his soldiers before crossing the Delaware River on Christmas Eve 1776, it is a phrase that holds true to most situations.  Any time you are nervous or unsure of something in life, remember that a greater triumph awaits whenever you do overcome those obstacles that make you hesitate or scared.
