Gardening: How to improve a garden

Hi, I have a small part of the yard, around 250 SF that is based above a garage (the land above the garage is around one foot high).

It's a bit neglected. Any ideas how I can make it look nice?

    a beautiful combination of perennials, annuals, and biennials. I would also create a focal point where the wrought iron fence meets the stone wall. An unusual weeping cherry tree or fountain or something with some height.

Shower and Tub Cleaner

This is a quick and easy way to keep your shower clean in just two minutes a day.Just get a dish washing wand and fill the dispenser half with vinegar and half with liquid dish soap. Keep ...»
it in the shower. That way everything is ready to go. When you get in, wet the sponge, and scrub away. Next, well, take a shower. That's it. I do a little section of the shower each day and work my way around the whole area about twice a week.

If the mixture gets thick, just add a little water. Also, I would caution that it is important to rinse well, and keep out of eyes as you would any cleanser.

  • I wrapped burlap ribbon around the can and added a print of an old ledger paper.
  • This could be used for holding office supplies or at a wedding or shower as centerpieces.
  • This one is  feminine and pretty it could just as easily be added to your vanity to hold makeup brushes.
  • It could also be used for weddings, showers  or any girly event. 2

Kitchen Command Center/Mail Sorter

Decided I was tired of mail everywhere and a fridge that was covered in reminder notes, so I created a unique command cener for our family. #OrganizedHome

  • For the guest bath I used an old factory bread loaf pan to make a "serving tray" of necessities for guests. I set this out with a stack of white fluffy towels when overnight visitors come. Just store the tray until you need it! 3

Making Toiletries part of your Bathroom Decor.

I got this little shelf/table at Roundtop Antiques Show Lat year for $20. I love the look of stacked white towels in a bathroom and I didn't want all of them hidden in the linen closet. I ...»
decided to use this shelf next to the shower to store things I wanted within arms reach. You can open the shower door and literally grab a towel or a fresh bar of soap without stepping foot on the floor. Also within reach are q-tips, a basket of wash cloths and a basket of hand towels. It has been very handy, and by sticking to the all white formula, pretty as well. To visit my blog and see more stuff like this click here: http://farmhouseporch.blogspot.com
