We have two small areas to the north side of the deck that H and I have been working on this week. We had a blank canvass because everything had to be moved to paint the brick on the house. |
H added a window and black shutters to the wall so it will match the rest of the house. |
The tea set is a $3 yard sale find... |
It is made by Country Living. The lambs ear is really spreading in this area. Don't you love the feel of lambs ear? |
Here is a before and after picture. |
This little water feature was in another area that is being changed, so it was relocated. I really like it better here because we can here it when we sit on the deck. |
I love the soothing sound of the water trickling in our fountain... |
I have started to add some 4th of July decor outside. This summer is flying by!!! |
H hung my $5 yard sale mirror on this wall. You can see the windmill reflecting in it. He also painted the mirror frame white (forgot to take a before pic...it was brown) |
I love the way it reflects different areas of the yard.... |
The windmill got a fresh coat of paint, and was tipped in pink... of course! |
I dressed up a vintage bird cage by tieing some fabric strips around the bottom...it looks neat blowing in the breeze. This birdcage doesn't have a bottom, so you will see me use it like a cloche sometimes. I am calling it my windsock birdcage thingy! |
I hung a birdcage in the birdcage! I am having a yard sale on Friday and then Saturday , but only til 11:00....then off to the auction! http://elizabethandco.blogspot.com/2013/07/be-inspired-features-and-link-party-76.html

I like what you did to your two areas - looks really good. Nice place to sit and listen to the water feature. I also really like the mirror where you placed it - looks terrific.
