More Deck Updates - Phase 2

{Click images to enlarge}Excuse the mess. Work in progress.

More deck addition updates. We have added two step up levels from the octagon deck area to a built in BBQ grill. The grill was constructed with a galvanized steel frame then covered with concrete backer boards. Then stucco sides screwed on,tile top, doors for propane tank area still being finished up.We have one more deck section to finish up that will have a water fountain. Then we will begin to work on landscaping behind the grill area and around the deck. ( The fun part to me)

Hubby is having fun with his Skid steer & backhoe that he calls his "Destructicons" moving dirt around. He had me make him some Transformer decals to put on them the other day. Boys and their toys I tell ya!! :)We look to have some rather rainy days this week here in Ohio, so maybe I'll get back to fixing my kitchen walls this week.

Kitchen Paint can wait...

My kitchen walls were boring beige.. SO I decided to add some color. I thought I would like this soft chic green. So I dismantled my whole kitchen last Sunday. Painted and put it all back together. .... Blah... I just did not like it after all. The color actually made me feel nauseous.So Monday Morning, I go off to Lowes and find a new Valspar paint color I thought I would like better... I dismantled the whole kitchen and began again.. I made it through 2 1/2 walls and realized .. ....Blah... this looks like specialty mustard in here. I really think I might just be Picky or Have lost my knack for color coordination.. LOLSo, currently my kitchen is Half green and Half golden... ( it's just gonna have to wait until I get in the mood again to paint. :D I'll wait for a rainy day and hope I find the right color I want this time.. I really hope the phrase "third time is a charm" works out for me.-Enjoy!Mandie

Wow .. Mom.. Wow

2 years ago I constructed this garden bench with scrap lumber and painted an American flag on the seat for my mom as a gift. She loved it and has it in her flower garden.I have not had time to create anything for Mother's Day. I have 1 week & I'm stumped for ideas... She would like to have a very large birdhouse, like 4 or 5 feet tall.My mom loves country, prim, rustic, antiques.. I have been searching through Etsy all evening for outdoor garden or porch decor, hoping to stumble on to something I can purchase for her and just have it shipped right to her this week. { I'm happy to take any suggestions!}
