Can anyone tell me what this vine is?

My mother had these growing in her yard when she moved into her house...I took a cutting...and they grow like crazy! I just love their miniature "clematis/passion flower" looking blooms...but I would sure like to know what they are!

Turn a 1980's light fixture into a lantern for your garden!

Don't throw it out! ....re-use it! We found this cool light fixture at a Thrift store and could not pass it up! With a little frost spray paint and black spray paint we gave it new life in the garden as a lantern!

  • My little patch of Heaven!
  • My Backyard Beach... in Chicago!  :-) 6

Spring is coming - can't wait to hit my hammock in my own Backyard Beach!

Just wanted to share my own little patch of paradise I made after I cut down a huge evergreen tree! I left up the stump about 6 feet tall because I always wanted a hammock. The problem ...»
was the nine foot area of lawn under the tree had died and was full of yuck. So I cleaned out the space, laid heavy plastic down, added a tiki-esque log border and added a LOT of sand. I wheeled it in a lawn spreader - much more manageable than a huge wheelbarrow. Added a thatch umbrella with u brackets drilled into the tree and a hammock. LOVE IT. I know - everyone yells at me about wild cats and animals but who cares - I rake the sand and have never found anything like that. I enjoy reading with my toes in the sand! Fins Up!

  • left side of kitchen w/copper sink
  • faucets w/sprayer & istant hot water (insinkerator)
  • isn't this the cutest sprayer ever, son noticed it looked like a little hammer and goes quite well w/the "hammered" copper sink
  • my favorite thing in the whole kitchen, extra deep, double hammered copper sink!  Isn't it to die for!
  • overhead shot! 1
  • hardware is everything! also the stone backsplash although rather neutral is very complimentary
  • double draw dishwasher, another thing I always wanted, now can someone show me how to use it!  This came from a direct Sears website that my husband has access through his employer, we get 11 items per year at deep discounts - 500 cheaper than retail!  Most large companies offer this to their employees.
  • Kenmore Pro double gas oven, did you know in November and March -April most Sears appliances are 50% off.  The stove, double oven and glass door frig where less than 6K!  All Elite or Professional grade.
  • This stove actually was a closeout, so I  got it even cheaper, 4k stove for 1700.00.  There was a floor model that was even cheaper, 1500 but a boxed one from the warehouse was only a couple hundred more - so I went for it.
  • yep, got a griddle pan and a flat top pan also!
  • yes, the coke radio works
  • thirsty anyone

  • I've had this "indulge" sign for years and used it for many of my catering events at home and for clients, now it has a permanent home, it's nice to hear stories from friends that have seen it throughout the years
  • super, duper larger double oven - electric HALF PRICE People! Don't overlook Sears on your next appliance hunt!
  • the stoppers don't come w/the sink so don't forget to pick some up when purchasing another sink and if you're using a disposal there's a different kinda stopper - these puppies set me back a cool 100.00, didn't plan on that so add it to your budget
  • the detail of this sink is awesome, also it was a dual mount, which means I could have had it beneath the granite, but choose above because it was nicely finished and less work - no altering cabinet and doors below! 2
  • sorry,, just one more shot of the stove
  • hand carved wood accessories from Italy - Tuesday Morning for the low, low
  • ain't they sweet, glimmery, candy apple red bar stools, but the price is the sweetest $49 bucks!!!!
  • the knobs sold me on this oven!
  • had seed glass custom cut and placed in each window and glass shelving, make sure your glass is tempered for safety, Doing it yourself instead of the factory cutting the doors for opening saved me 90 a door!
  • sexy, sleek and copper!
  • instant hot water by "Insinkerator" - this is a must have if you're like me and to lazy to boil or wait for the water for tea or any other time boiling water is needed - get the filter add-on it doesn't come w/kit
  • who doesn't like fresh popped popcorn, and from a replica old fashion machine at that!
  • after the shoot, I removed started removing the wood casing around poles and seating area, upgrade photos to follow, but this was the only way I could give you an overall view of room 1
  • seating area w/Natuzzi Italian Leather Sofa, got this baby for half off, it was custom made for someone, but they built w/chaise on wrong size!  It also has a queen size sleeper bed!
  • Another view of area
  • yet another
  • shoe tray, these are a must have if you like ppl to remove their shoes when entering your home, most are hvy rubber trays, found this copper color metal one for 17.99 @ Tuesday Mornings
  • floor seat cushions, same place Tuesday Mornings - 39.99
  • pillows make the diference in all designs, neutral sofa, went w/big bold pillows w/different textures; the front pillow was made by Yamini!! - go girl
  • another view
  • notice this is a reverse of the other material, we (Yamini & I) choose to use the backside of the material, isn't it snazy!!
  • okay, this is my French inspired metal antiqued flower table, I LOVE IT! People either hate it or love it, what do you think!
  • The bathroom, orginally had a toilet and sink, moved the toilet to opposite side of room to where sink was, moved sink to middle of room and added shower
  • really like the niche in the shower
  • antique coke chest to store/hide all those bathroom xtras
  • wanted to give a little pop to the shower, added "picture frame" w/copper accents
  • closer view
  • fire place on accent wall, inset, electric and actually warms the entire room
  • wanted focal point, had this wall in middle of the room, so I had this stone installed
  • textured and tile placement was the key to adding excitement
