Patio Fence Coverup

We have a very small patio area at the moment that is surrounded by an ugly old wood stockade fence. Never sat outside because it was depressing. This year we decided to do something about it.
Started with a blank canvas of an ugly old stockade fence that I saw every time I looked out my kitchen sliding door.
Just a small patch of grass, a raised garden bed and small flower garden.
We had some some left over Lattice and I decided I wanted to create a vertical herb garden by hanging the lattice on the fence. Next we hung some potted herbs on the lattice. Thyme, Catnip, Rosemary, Sage, Mint, Dill and Green Onion.
Added bamboo fencing to cover the ugly stockade fence. Planted my Green beans, Basil, Parsley next to my old Oregano plant in the raised garden bed. Replaced small grass patch with patio bricks.
Hung some fun decorations on the bamboo. We decided to give the patio a Nautical feel to it.
Tiki Bar, Sun/Moon and frogs bought locally.
Hung up some bamboo bird nests transformed into flower pots. Added a beach scene.
Placed our Bistro set on the brick patios. Finished project, now I can look out my kitchen door and feel proud of the view.
Enjoyed the project?

Wow, what a great idea — has such a whimsical yet relaxing feel. Had my doubts when you began with lattice, which can really be “ughlee”
but a little as accent looked great!
