We made this garden walkway with a mold that we purchased at Lowe's. We mixed the Quickcrete up and then poured it into the mold a section at a time. It was almost like making mud pies. It was a bit time consuming but we were very happy with the end result. It has held up very well as it has been down now for about 3 years.

For a weekend project my husband and I built this potting bench out of pallets. Such a great way to recycle pallets and also so useful.

Here is a close up of the chair that was built out of pallets.

I used these plantings as I found they are drought tolerant and other plants that I previously used needed frequent watering.

I have two of these on my deck that help to splash the area with color for the season. Remember to drill holes into the planter boxes for drainage.

of nylon stocking. It looks as though one is very happy and rewarded me with a beautiful bloom.

Before attaching fill each half with potting soil. I attached the succulents with florists pins.

Does anyone know if I need to cut them back after they have bloomed?

We are putting the finishing touches on this paver deck. We made the chairs out of pallets. The fire pit table top was also made from pallets. We love the idea of being able to convert the fire pit into a table when it is not in use. The bench seating was made from left over materials that we used to make a retaining wall in the front of our house. I am looking forward to adding the finishing touches and being able to enjoy conversation around a cozy fire during cooler weather.
