Outdoor Projects we have planned...
Well... we are at it again.
It happens every spring, we get that first taste of fresh air and we start to think about all the outside projects we want to do.
This year... there are quite a few.
The first one is simple but will make a huge difference.
Kent and I chose old world cobblestones in Granite for the lane way, patios and pathways when we built the house.
Yes... we did it ourselves... one cobble at a time... Yes, you can clap... I will wait. :)
Seriously, It was a lot of work but it looks great and we have been very happy with it.
The only problem was... we ran out of cobbles and energy.
The area that needs finishing is at the back of the house under the garage overhang where we hang the canoe and keep the wood.
The next phase of our plan is a bit more... creative!
Don't be scared... just stay with me, it will be fine.
Here is the idea.
These amazing yet tired and tough antique windows are going to become inset on the fence between the posts on the garage overhang...
Are you feeling it?
Kent and I love to incorporate salvaged pieces into our projects... I love the tension and interest mixing old and new brings.
Don't worry, we will clean them up, replace any broken window sections and paint them all out.
I am very excited to get going on these projects... I will keep you posted!
