About Me:

After I retired from teaching, my husband and I moved into his old family home and started renovating it. We blog all about it at "Cottage at the Crossroads."

Favorite area of home improvement:

Vegetable gardening and preparing the food that we grow is my real passion, but I love a great kitchen renovation project, too!

  • We love this Walkway 1

Recycled parking lot into walkway

Mu husband and I located a business where parking lot was being chewed into oblivion and brought the pieces home and made a walkway. We even placed stone statue with under-lighting in the middle to memorialize our son. This is mostly in the shade bur sure would like to have blooming plants in the center. Along the walk we planted dwarf gardenias.
