~~~DIY Summer Wreath....FREE!!!!~~~~

Good morning! LOTS of fluffing going on around here! Joe had been, LITERALLY, working his butt off doing our new landscaping. And I mean literally, his pants are about falling off. I guess I should be digging put there too!!!!!!!!!!! However, I have been busy doing other things and one of them was fixing and adding to my summer wreath. In the move it got kinda messed up so I pulled alot off it and then kinda redid it all.I only used what I had on hand so this was a FREE project!!!! Love that! I had some extra flowers in my stash so decided to make it LUSH and FULL!!!!!!!!!!! Full of color and life! As you may remember from last year, I wired 3 wreaths together for the base. Then startd adding some flowers and fun gardening items. This is how it looks as you come up the walk.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhikA6oHsTkMLYeWHGxBAqnrfHhrgmGWSMfAgg5mkCjy6u3m-DUUzzpjcE14Vp-cCJGAeSCFfs2mnfoH-MXHdarGxD0aH4A0HGa_hwQPU6_PW0wHQ-pIOmXAfn6VZMCz8Q2N4weIvB53Rxv/s1600/IMG_0086.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhikA6oHsTkMLYeWHGxBAqnrfHhrgmGWSMfAgg5mkCjy6u3m-DUUzzpjcE14Vp-cCJGAeSCFfs2mnfoH-MXHdarGxD0aH4A0HGa_hwQPU6_PW0wHQ-pIOmXAfn6VZMCz8Q2N4weIvB53Rxv/s640/IMG_0086.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdnnUonFbDCdr8Rhs67f6clK4GH0vYILnAWuhcxd4DW77DVO1aFsS7ZK7LfV1Ud78orIrzT1dawt5ProXOuh-Zdm7Yk5v8ugYzPkoDoaqVOpnahXCFy2nYCsW4fBJwywXbAR9L6xEcJcLS/s1600/IMG_0087.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdnnUonFbDCdr8Rhs67f6clK4GH0vYILnAWuhcxd4DW77DVO1aFsS7ZK7LfV1Ud78orIrzT1dawt5ProXOuh-Zdm7Yk5v8ugYzPkoDoaqVOpnahXCFy2nYCsW4fBJwywXbAR9L6xEcJcLS/s640/IMG_0087.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Here you can see the 3 wreaths and that a nest pick was added to the center.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVDiolRuVkzTfROQ2NqmdGooZ-SVEr5GyovOjE71U2paTl6S3Q_8fbtRqw976sngBMZUFGTz3exEvuOcOWGuFxxbp-0lI0YqY3qTBlRpVAuFKXxEjJcUonJrMptVLNz4XtWDX1lkbhBsPd/s1600/IMG_0088.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVDiolRuVkzTfROQ2NqmdGooZ-SVEr5GyovOjE71U2paTl6S3Q_8fbtRqw976sngBMZUFGTz3exEvuOcOWGuFxxbp-0lI0YqY3qTBlRpVAuFKXxEjJcUonJrMptVLNz4XtWDX1lkbhBsPd/s640/IMG_0088.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVuKsaWuF8TiC2-FJfj-_B6q__99VA75q5CQGH4LSTOpPqJj8fmAbm9cVTNhNJvwDtxyF5B43Wk8VP5xbeErCZ11u3IKxlRlhV-CwBcpKUdOsOZ3ymFb0RZMR-j6_Z8mVCADBpvZIT5ol_/s1600/IMG_0089.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVuKsaWuF8TiC2-FJfj-_B6q__99VA75q5CQGH4LSTOpPqJj8fmAbm9cVTNhNJvwDtxyF5B43Wk8VP5xbeErCZ11u3IKxlRlhV-CwBcpKUdOsOZ3ymFb0RZMR-j6_Z8mVCADBpvZIT5ol_/s640/IMG_0089.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This cute little mossy birdhouse was in the stash so on it went!!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpZHvpZiGJBPX6GlZeTNeYo_mBQ02Jyb_T1hqfd7s44lKEtfgwUDJB92TrKLmVv-W7J67o1L7dDFc0_4KTjEmLkhrshzDKvfndrKqqX2Tyu5kE3MAQVKd4MUk9dgEOoMrcDk6Ex3aw8Obn/s1600/IMG_0090.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpZHvpZiGJBPX6GlZeTNeYo_mBQ02Jyb_T1hqfd7s44lKEtfgwUDJB92TrKLmVv-W7J67o1L7dDFc0_4KTjEmLkhrshzDKvfndrKqqX2Tyu5kE3MAQVKd4MUk9dgEOoMrcDk6Ex3aw8Obn/s640/IMG_0090.JPG" width="480" /></a></div> Small clay pots were also added. I just pulled wire through the hole in the bottom and wired them to the grapevine. I tip I should pass on to you is buy BUSHES of flowers when you can and cut them apart. You get SO much more "bang for your buck" than single stems and they are usually perfect for wreaths. The impatiens were a bush as well as the geraniums and other flowers too.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZFz0mgsbenklQ0LL0onaR0Z5j_bjzxMwM7paPKbfHIbGahFN9AsyQ9xM7g3ewssrXPQADecFFRogAJczz2_MD-E2h-dZbqdPFlezadXxFbRL4k9eTX0dicxQw7oUF2MTeGIZF8hftO_FW/s1600/IMG_0091.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZFz0mgsbenklQ0LL0onaR0Z5j_bjzxMwM7paPKbfHIbGahFN9AsyQ9xM7g3ewssrXPQADecFFRogAJczz2_MD-E2h-dZbqdPFlezadXxFbRL4k9eTX0dicxQw7oUF2MTeGIZF8hftO_FW/s640/IMG_0091.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I wanted a real mix of colors so it would be vibrant enough to see easily from the street. Plus all the colors in the annuals and bushes out front are repeated here.

~~~Landscaping the New House....starting over~~~

You all know that we moved here in Oct. The builder puts in the basic builder package of landscaping and maintains that. However if you want more, YOU maintain anything else. Oh, and AFTER you get your plans approved:):0 We got ours approved last week so Joe started right away. here is what is DONE so far. He dug out and planted on the left side of the walkway and made a little curve at the end by the driveway. We got some new bushes and moved some others.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Djta_7ILFEBh0Lm3hetWVXhFKY7m8wvkobkrf-CUDJgDPLYtsF_EYUZg9lJlxg14ampRGTVoOyg1uJXHqIboa_jWFoYM5LEmDDUeSeawcSFrFNd44aMCA80TcTsdjvTJUfv5M7u3GnrT/s1600/IMG_0062.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3Djta_7ILFEBh0Lm3hetWVXhFKY7m8wvkobkrf-CUDJgDPLYtsF_EYUZg9lJlxg14ampRGTVoOyg1uJXHqIboa_jWFoYM5LEmDDUeSeawcSFrFNd44aMCA80TcTsdjvTJUfv5M7u3GnrT/s640/IMG_0062.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Joe LOVED red flowers and these azaleas are a pretty red shade.

I'm in love with trim. I want it everywhere and I can't get enough of it. It might border on addiction, but since it is so awesome, I'm happy to call myself an addict.<br /><br />We all know how amazing it looks on drapes, pillows and even walls, but how about your furniture? Particularly to finish off the bottom of furniture.

blue and orange library - before and after

There once was a girl who wanted to switch her living room and dining room. She worked hard and made herself a swanky new dining room, but the living room needed a pick me up. So, she asked her friend for some help. Luckily this girl can DIY with the best of them, and also luckily her friend is me.<br /><br />My very great friend and her family wanted a cozy space where they could read, do homework, practice the violen and spend hours on Pinterest. And although she knew she wanted to invest in grasscloth, the goal was to work with what she already had, just adding a few things here and there to spruce up the room.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvPpUWRMVC4pjxqxtmvHyrYsQ0Lv2YdMQZXrd9u1Gv6xcgrmBRgp6ZUNFVjDyJMzcCrWVwODNQX1fnsdtuZ0dujhnEBQsJcIWkOJbtTdYKRtG0FJjnuh_HBdnF2tqJIHUX5ixZV7LlOzRh/s1600/LittleBlackDoorBeccaLR.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="544" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvPpUWRMVC4pjxqxtmvHyrYsQ0Lv2YdMQZXrd9u1Gv6xcgrmBRgp6ZUNFVjDyJMzcCrWVwODNQX1fnsdtuZ0dujhnEBQsJcIWkOJbtTdYKRtG0FJjnuh_HBdnF2tqJIHUX5ixZV7LlOzRh/s640/LittleBlackDoorBeccaLR.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You might remember this little board I did awhile back to get the juices flowing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGisYw5KegrBUpfvr2SMINVyLqp2rY-23mENfxdVEhvFv8Qpa_meC507hhMtTIw5JR7JWmLOthXuO1sTzrkyphPPymylCfmblag6jiw_heywn6nCEQJHK5y2LypPVRks59a8bOEWIH5MxU/s1600/wideshotbefore.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGisYw5KegrBUpfvr2SMINVyLqp2rY-23mENfxdVEhvFv8Qpa_meC507hhMtTIw5JR7JWmLOthXuO1sTzrkyphPPymylCfmblag6jiw_heywn6nCEQJHK5y2LypPVRks59a8bOEWIH5MxU/s400/wideshotbefore.jpg" width="393" /></a></div>Here is the space before.

~~~Look What I got!!!~~~

I have to give a BIG shout out to Shirley of Hospitality Designs. She did a post recently about her new potting bench that she made. First of all it is adorable. When I saw it, right away I noticed a pot on it that said "Rosebud". My heart skipped a beat cause that was my Mom's nickname, in the family and then it got shortened to Buddy as she got older.  I e-mailed Shirley and asked her that if she EVERwanted to get rid of that pot to please let me know and I would buy it from her and I told her why. Right away she wrote back and said she would send it to me, now!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it, but she said she was happy it would mean something to someone. So, it arrived in the mail and I finally went and got some flowers to plant in it. Shirley also told me that it was writ<br />ten around the pot, "Gather Ye Rosebuds".<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Pqg0F5sSdLBWYioPhzkEzCPeIGvuvJDtItRdy8Eugk4QcgtIOO56RNrJnk-AoPbmWK_a9QRtGyw0E9e2-HqFn0jfam20zYixid-J4_h6RtlJrloe7xcB_MSUtaHnedHsuuMyTDclWFGY/s1600/IMG_0052.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Pqg0F5sSdLBWYioPhzkEzCPeIGvuvJDtItRdy8Eugk4QcgtIOO56RNrJnk-AoPbmWK_a9QRtGyw0E9e2-HqFn0jfam20zYixid-J4_h6RtlJrloe7xcB_MSUtaHnedHsuuMyTDclWFGY/s640/IMG_0052.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg41TDWBeNshqDtvnjexJnQHgZrun9PN86pgmBUy-uKfSntAHB_Lv95ICOEmTp8SkieDlvA1hpMsi7R8XiifPZWXHczmq0bzY-bLnPS1__waumelZBtTNNOHsYXIn9vsQpEFmmUe19qWUrP/s1600/IMG_0053.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg41TDWBeNshqDtvnjexJnQHgZrun9PN86pgmBUy-uKfSntAHB_Lv95ICOEmTp8SkieDlvA1hpMsi7R8XiifPZWXHczmq0bzY-bLnPS1__waumelZBtTNNOHsYXIn9vsQpEFmmUe19qWUrP/s640/IMG_0053.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzi03dj54hNRGyX-BppD7o252jsQlAHolYxG09g5WHYM69W6bvZIp0zTIldpulgmzl2Rlm7oZsNOXdzVC4k9zKiAVNqkn7rG9f0J7xw7o7VyHabqGCvnTQynCK11leo3AhfRZXYljai-qr/s1600/IMG_0054.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzi03dj54hNRGyX-BppD7o252jsQlAHolYxG09g5WHYM69W6bvZIp0zTIldpulgmzl2Rlm7oZsNOXdzVC4k9zKiAVNqkn7rG9f0J7xw7o7VyHabqGCvnTQynCK11leo3AhfRZXYljai-qr/s640/IMG_0054.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I put 3 little annuals in it today. 2 of them are called Torenia; one pink and one purple, and then I also added a varieated vinca, to trail.

There is LOTS going on around here! We finally got our landscaping plans approved so we have begun to do our beds. I can't wait to share them with you all! This is very exciting to me, I love to garden and be surrounded by flowers and pretty shrubs. We have purchased alot and are also bringing some things from the old house! That makes me happy too. Now all we have to do is GET IT SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!
