This is what inevitably happens when I get left home alone for long periods of time. I start "doing things". This is only one of my projects!
Im also taking out the door to our laundry room and replacing it with a pocket door (which meant taking down a wall), ripping out the counter and cabinets and building a bench with cubbies for the kids--making it more of a mud room you could say. That project is currently in the works.....everything is put back together, I just need to re-paint and build my bench!!
So, then I decided to rip out our deck and have a patio put in.....
Nice and big, plenty of room for friends and family to come over! We can actually enjoy our backyard now!
Then I got a little bored....so I decided to dig up the sod around the patio and replace it with flower beds.....such hard work! It took me one afternoon to dig it up....
Another afternoon/evening (I basically stayed up until I could no longer see) spreading the garden soil....
Then yet another day buying, arranging, and planting some.....shrubs.
It all turned out really nice. I like it a lot. There aren't any plants planted anywhere else in my yard (front or back) so it's kind of funny. But at least around the patio looks nice!? Right?!
