  • I purchased the vinyl tablecloth at Walmart. I thought the checks with the inset stars was perfect for the holiday.
  • I decided to keep the place settings simple. 
A woven charger from Goodwill, plain white dinner plates from Ikea, flatware from Family Dollar and napkins from Walmart.
  • For the centerpiece I placed white petunias into a planter from Ikea.
  • A wonderful way to start summer!

Drystacked Stone Wall and Steps

The client wanted a level area behind their house that is atop a steep wooded hill. We built this 77' long wall using Pennsylvania fieldstone. The base of this wall is over three feet thick and the wall tilts back into the hill. This is important since the wall must retain the many tons of soil behind it.

  • Love the barrels used for this Country Style Lemonade station!
  • A spot of cold ice sweet tea , fresh squeezed lemonade, or fruit water...would be a great treat to add to this beverage station.

Country Time Lemonade....Hits the Spot...

I love this idea of a beverage station, or beverage bar! I am currently in search of a barrel like these...to create my own Beverage station.. Lemonade or southern sweet tea...is always the right time, anytime.
