Hellooooooo? Anyone there? Yeah I kind of fell of the "blogwagon" as they say.
After all it's summer and no one reads blogs right?
I hope y'all had mucho celebration last weekend with friends, family, food and drinks with little umbrellas.
I was deep into supervising the backyard makeover and Lord did I go over budget. I am a "broke girl" and will not be buying cute summer sandals any time soon.
Let's get to a few before and after shots.
Here is the front yard. All of this was planted about 20 years ago except the boxwoods [which these 3 have a worm right now that I am busy trying to kill!].
By by.....
I put 3 of the large boxwoods in front with 3 smaller ones in a half circle and in the middle is a white Camilla. Hopefully they will get bigger:) Then Lenten Roses and assorted ferns.
Try not to look at the grass....they had to dig up a trench to fix the lamp post. Who am I kidding....it's moss cause I have very little sun in my front yard!
This side was a hot mess....
After
I moved all the Yew over to this side.
So much better.....
Of course it never ends.....I need a new sidewalk so I have a reason to start saving again....
The base of that huge tree!
On to the back yard... So overgrown....believe it or not there is a gate back there!
See...all cleared out.
And then my vision....A path.
From the patio....
Me: "So much better....as my husband said....a path to nowhere". In the fall....a shade garden under the tree right?
Another before...And after....
Before....I took out the roses....they were leggy and sparse.
Added another boxwood and a planter that was hidden way in the back yard.
One more before....
After
Now some random shots to put you to sleep....
OK....wake up!
I know....you are either into landscaping/gardening or not...
Of course here in Atlanta it will get too hot to be outdoors so I can stand at my window and look at it:)
Can you believe it is Wednesday already?
This weekend is the Designer Tag sale at Westside Market with 7 designers [including me] who will be selling their "extra stuff". I'll have things from my shabby chic days and every other style I've tried along the way:)
So come on down and say Hi!
