So, I've found pieces of wood and other things that I think I can use and just started piecing things together. I need about 60 feet of fence and this is what I've come up with so far:
Here's my garden... 15x15
This is my first section: Isn't it cute? I used 2x4's from an old skid and old scrap wood, then put scrap pieces of wood on them.
My baby's really playing the part. We call this: "Man in deep thought..." LOL!
And how cute is this? I used a candle holder that I couldn't sell in a yard sale for the past 3 years!... and put the little flowers that the kids planted in it.
Here's another piece:
This is probably my favorite so far. You may not be able to see it but, there's a little blue metal basket hanging on the left, I'll probably put some fake or dried flowers in. There's a Coca-Cola sign I never did anything with, a gourd bird house in the middle on the bottom (I have 3 more of these that I'll probably use). That blue piece of wood cut at an angle was leftover wood that we used for a shelf. The red thing is an old license plate...
This is my final piece: I was so glad. All of this took maybe 5 hours from start to finish. We've got about 15' of fence so far and still have more wood leftover to get about 10 more feet or so. Using things like shutters or scrap wood really helps to take up fence space. When I get the whole thing done I'll take better pictures and post them. (My camera's lense failed to survive the test that Talon put it through so I'm using my CAMERA PHONE! HA)
You see, nothing fancy. And I've been able to put old things I have around the house on them. That level was André's dad's and is probably about 40 years old! Oh, well. I like it!
And by the by, don't my Spirea shrubs look gorgeous dahling?!
They're so pretty cascading on the side of my house.
They're so soft, when you walk by them it feels like cold feathers brushing your skin. And the smell... AAHHHH. Simply heavenly. Subtle, yet sweet. MMmmm Perfect! Thank you Jehovah!
Love the fence....it is cute. You have a very artful eye. I am slowly working on my garden and I will eventually post more about it. It is a process for me & since we've had a frost warning the last 3 nights it is a good thing I haven't planted those tomatoes! What did you plant in your garden?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe ya'll have had frost advises. Ugh, Ohio. So far I've planted 48 tomatoes! I know, a lot! I accidentally did that last year and it was like a jungle, but we got a lot of tom sandwiches and 20 quarts of sauce and salsa... I also planted bush beand, cucumbers, herbs, zuccini. I'll probably add more. I'm a lazy gardner, I like things that are pretty sef-sufficient:-) I don't have much space, so I'm gonna cut a couple of old trash cans in half across the middle and make a couple of raised gardens for zuccinni or beans or something... Thanks so much for asking. I love it when you find buddied that appr things, too. The artful eye? Naw, most of my stuff looks really cheesy! LOL You take care!
ReplyDeleteWe did have frost this morning. We covered everything so it's all good. Last week I was driving and noticed an 8 foot section of fence on the curb (someone was trashing it). I thought of you!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL! And you didn't get it?! GGRRRR! Ha. That's so funny. We need to get together! Fo' real! You can't fight it. It's inevitable.
ReplyDeleteYou know what else is funny, is when I reread my comments or posting and see how I keep spelling the words! I am we todd did! :-)Oh well.
Oh my - that's the cutest fence ever!!!
