Progress on the Greenhouse


A lot of progress was made today to get the greenhouse ready for spring. 
Notice the name above the door has changed.......it is no longer the Greenhouse or Potting Shed.......it's not a She Shed or Man Cave......it's Our Happy Place.


The greenhouse was only used a few weeks in the spring for plants so I decided to rename it.    


I'm not finished yet,  but I wanted to share the progress so far......


March 2017.............................................................................March 2018   

The  pink headboard fence across the porch has been replaced with a white wrought iron one.


I hung a tire swing on the porch........


I replaced the garden angels on each side of the door with white enamel Flower Market planters


I filled the planters with some branches that I cut from our Bradford pear trees in the front yard.


I gave the vintage wicker settees on each side of Our Happy Place a little makeover by tying some white sheet bows across the front.


I have the Coleus pots in this settee for now................


The lavender is in the other settee temporarily.......
 

There is still more work to be done,   especially on the inside.
 

I'll be back with another update soon!

  6. Cute! I do like your new sign and the wrought iron fencing. I just bought some French style fencing down in Waco and when they do a delivery in a few weeks I'll post about it. :) Always fun to spruce up the garden!!

    Happy spring, Penny,
