Catch all Corner in the Backyard

Do you have a corner in the back yard that has become a "catch all" .   I think everyone does...don't you?   Well,  our "corner" had become an eyesore in the back yard that could no longer be ignored.

This corner is about an  8 x 8 area that is shaded by a large oak tree ...no grass will grow there.   I am excited to see if I can make this eyesore into an area that will no loner be a catch all,  but be a serene part of the back yard.    I had quite a few bird cages stacked in the corner....a set of wooden gate panels that we took down from a rent house that we have,   a tall ladder,  a scaffold ladder,   some black sacks of outdoor faux flowers....the list goes on and on so I think I have enough material to complete the project..

  I plan to use materials that I have on hand as much as I can to create my little "room" in the corner of the yard.    H started the project by making a short wall with two windows that he put on top of the blue scaffold.    The bottom part of the wall is made from some old window screens .

I took one of the birdcages,  turned it upside down,  and tied it to the front of my bicycle with some pretty white lace.
Birdcage Bicycle Basket Bird Nest....say that fast three times!  .

I used some saucers to make a border......

Before........................................................After

We hung one of the bird cages on the "wall"....and some are hung from the taller tree branches.......which you will see in a future update of our project.

  

H is busy constructing the second part of the wall for our room.    On the left side of the photo above,  there is a  sneak peek of what that he is doing to lengthen  the wall of our room.
See you soon to show you the progress!
