Landscaping Ideas for the DIY Porch and Deck
It is BACK to gardening and thrifting and such at the Nest this week! Join me today for some easy landscaping ideas for breaking up lines, reinforcing color and adding a few "polka dots" to your back or front porch!
Learn the easy ways to add a little spice without breaking the bank (psssstt -- try DRY plants!), add vertical height and a little GREEN!
Post excerpt: Our porch is full to brimming with lines, verticals, horizontals AND diagonals. It is a pretty good mix to start with, but at certain points there is a bit too much of one directional. Case in point? This long, horizontal railing. The solution? A trellis!Notice how the trellis pokes its head up just a few inches above the railing, breaking up that long horizontal line. Once the morning glories climb that trellis by the end of this month, their curving tendrils and leaves will make an even more pleasant break in the stark horizontal.
In addition to two trellises along this railing for morning glories (an annual climber that returns each year), I also need something permanent to break up the line year round. The solution? Keep Reading....
