home series: feels like.....france or italy?

So......here it is!!!  The back garden and now patio.....no longer backyard!  The plants have some growing in to do, but I think you can see that it will just get better and better.  It is an amazing difference.  Our hand-me-down chairs and table that still remind me of my childhood when I look out the window do fit perfectly into the small space for a table.     

                 

I wanted steel edging, because I love the clean straight lines and contemporary touch next to the soft plants.  The border all the way around is bamboo muhly, which will grow in considerably and look really feathery and full.

 These photos of me in my 'ole yeller pants were taken by my hubby's GoPro - kinda cool even though all you can get is this fish eye view everytime.  It's kind of our new favorite thing.  It is mostly for action video taking.

This is Cash our cute pup that has his own grass patch now....Have a great weekend!

home series: backyard breakdown

                                                                                           

A few weeks ago, we broke ground in the mud pit called our backyard and began a little project that we have wanted to do for a long time.  I chose KD Design to do the work, and here are some photos of them getting down and dirty, while putting in the steel edging that frames the new landscaping.  Dave Tekyl, the owner, could not have been more nice and easy to work with.  It was so cool to have him take our ideas and put them into his own design.

Check in tomorrow to see the big reveal of how it turned out!  You are gonna love it!
