    • "Dining nook/area", Like always,decorating my apt on a very little budget....I have a small kitchen/dining area in my rental which was in much need of 'STORAGE"  but couldn't add cabinets or extend my kitchen " :( so I was debating on whether to add a buffet or have my hubby built benches...so we opted for benches because if we added a buffet the space would look crowed and cluttered.....

I have a DIY CLOCK that I'm thinking of replacing with maybe a large mirror and sconces or large art work...but till I find that special "something" the clock stays... 

ps my hubby built the benches,added window casing,"faux wood blinds and  framed the dining area opening with casing....

    • Our Garden Oasis. A work in progress., We have been trying to fix up our backyard for the last two years and decided that this year (our 3rd living in this house) was the year we were going to make it happen. 

We had our vinyl fence installed a month ago and just finished building our patio in the rear of the yard (First time ever building a stone patio!)

We assembled our gazebo and just laid down grass seeds across the space to try and grow some grass before the hot summer months.

The pictures show our space as it is now, a work in progress. 

We are now in search of ideas, tips, suggestions for what to do with the yard to tie it all together. We want the garden to pop with vibrant life and color but don't know where to start. We have about a 4' by 15' patch of ground behind the gazebo that we think we'd like to use to plant some colorful shrubs, plants and trees and maybe a fountain or water fixture or maybe a fire pit.

We have another smaller paved area (15' x 5') at the front of the yard before the deck which we keep our gas grill on and set up some seating but we'd like to transform this area as well into a more comfortable seating area that can be used to relax and entertain guest.

We then have a nice sized deck area attached to the back of house. This space is about 15' x 16' and we have a double size outdoor sofa and our 6 seat table here. again, looking for ideas to make this all pop and come together with life and warmth and color that inviting and relaxing for nights together or nights shared with family and friends., Gardens Design

    • Wishing I can complete a project to look like this, 4000 sq. ft. area The east rear fence is a 5ft block wall. the older north and south walls are made of older blocks. 

The North block wall is16 ft tall and was build on top of an older 3 ft block wall. Combined, they are 60 years old and the top 12 ft is cracking and looking as if it will fall if we had a large earthquake. 
The south wall is in good shape. I is 4 ft. tall. 

Certain areas have roses. My mother planted 20 years ago. We have a large shade tree 4 ft from the north wall. I did a circle planter around the large shade tree and I have tree collards growing along the rear east wall. I need a border design for the whold yard., Gardens Design
