  • so pretty!
  • using a clean glass jar, apply removable adhesive labels of your choice (i used round labels from the office supply store)
  • turn your jar upside down to prevent paint overspray + apply several light coats
  • once dry, gently remove the labels
  • add a layer of glass floral beads or sand. this protects your surface from heat damage from a long-burning candle
  • i love the playfulness of the dotted design
  • but he's even prettier as the sun sets! 1

  • An old ironing board that I recently painted white makes a great out door vignette on the patio.
  • I plan to drill a small hole in the ironing board top to slip the hanger wire through so it won't blow off.
  • I used a laundry basket shaped container for the Rose Star Calibrachoa.

Plumbing Material Succulent Garden

Sometimes when roaming through the hardware store aisles, I get strange looks. Because I end up buying a whole group of galvanized plumbing caps - as planters for a succulent garden.

  • This is the pond in front of our house.  Built by previous owners.  Fun, but dirty w/the trees surrounding.
  • Front of house w/large garden in front, and to the side.  Entry gate is to the left of the corner of the house.  Hoping to build deck along the length of house

Outdoor Living: Our Front Yard Pond and Other Projects

We just purchased this house and it has a great 3/4 acre yard with a pond in front. It has a fountain, w/a spray fountain (see white pvc pipe in pic). We like it OK, but it is dirty as it ...»
is under the trees and gets lots of leaves in it. The fountain leaks in back and the water keeps getting lower and lower, probably a hole in the liner somewhere.

So we are thinking of filling in the pond w/small red lava landscaping rock on bottom (lots of this in a garden we are redoing and I dislike it), then river rocks on top w/the fountain still bubbling up in the middle. Any suggestions on how to do this properly so that the water will not leak out, and we don't have to continue to refill the water level? Thanks for any ideas, I live in Wyoming so there is LOTS of snow in the winter and it is only used in the summer months.

Now we are also going to redo the front of the house w/a full length deck (eventually a roof over it). Have some cinder blocks, and thought about using wood decking over them w/the blocks as support. Do we need to place the blocks in sand to level? Or how should we proceed?

    leaks and give you extra protection against leaks/punctures. No sharp rocks in the pond itself. River rocks are okay but when it comes to keeping it clean the rocks make it impossible to do a good job. We hand dug ours 6 years ago and I am in CT so we have winter weather as well. We have trees all around our pond and in he fall it can make a mess unless you put a net over it. You can use bird netting but I suggest something stronger. You are going to get leaves in the pond even without nearby trees rom the wind blowing around. As far as the fountain. You can buy what you are looking for. We used an upside down plant pot that was the right height (we put holes in it so it would stay sunk then put the pump on top of it Hope this helps!

    neat...it has gotten away from me a bit. Sadly, I am forced to limit what I can do, but at least I can make it somewhat presentable. I have loved the rain we have gotten, but the weeds love it even better! Unfortunately the pollen knocked me for a loop so I am restricted right now! But I will post some soon!
