Pretty, Pretty Garden Boxes

Despite the fact that it rained all last weekend, Chris and I were able to get a few things done in our backyard. In my last Better Homes and Garden magazine (Love it, Love it), I saw where they had added decorative touches to raised beds. Last fall Chris and his dad actually built a couple of raised beds for our yard, and on Saturday we added a little something to them to make them look a heck of a lot nicer. Check it out for your self....

The is the a flower box that is off of our patio. It is filled with seasonal flowers!






Half of this raised bed will be used for some veggies and the other half will be used for a flower cutting garden. Hopefully in a couple of months it will beautiful!

Outside Projects

So my sister has been asking me when I am going to post again and after 3 days I finally came up with something to post. Chris and I have been trying to sprucin' up our back patio. I had the idea of buying a broken chandelier and turing it in to an outside candle holder. What once was a silver, ugly chandelier is now an awesome outdoor chandelier for around $30!

This is my other outside project that I worked on a couple of weeks ago. Chris found this old table in his family barn so we brought it home and painted it. Then a few weeks ago I decided to add some flowers to it...I am still trying to decide whether or not I like it....there's nothing a can of paint can't fix.

Weekend Project: Easter Egg Arrangement

So everybody tells me that I am really creative and crafty and that's why I wanted to start this blog. I have enjoyed reading others blogs and love seeing what others are creating and hearing some of their household tips. So here's a fun little Easter decoration that I did this weekend while hanging out at the lake. My mom and I worked pretty hard on it and I think that it turned out really cute for my front door.

P.S. I got the idea from the April issue of Better Homes and Garden. I love this magazine!!
