Works Inwards Progress

I portion projects that I'm working on together with sneak peeks pretty regularly on my Instagram Stories, but I realized you lot all don't unremarkably run into footling bits together with pieces of what I'm working on until I'm sharing the finished product.  So today, I reckon I'd portion a few of our works inwards progress amongst you, too!

Last twelvemonth our outdoor focus was on the patio, together with since it's all finished upward this twelvemonth we're focusing on on our dorsum yard landscaping.  We've done a few things hither together with at that spot over the years, but that basically consisted of plopping a few knockout roses inwards a bed together with calling it good.  The roses all got diseased end year, hence nosotros tore everything out together with we're starting from scratch inwards the dorsum yard.

We dug out an exclusively novel bed exterior of our sleeping room on 1 side of the patio,

together with enlarged the bed that is on the other side behind the patio fireplace.  That's the side amongst the gate to the front end together with where nosotros buy the farm on our trash dumpsters together with firewood stack, hence we're going to motility to locomote strategic amongst our planting to enshroud those to a greater extent than unsightly things on that side a bit.  You tin run into that we've already stocked upward on mulch, did you lot grab the v for $10 sale at Lowe's this week?

We've been working to kill the grass inwards the novel beds together with promise to convey inwards a charge of skillful dirt to mix inwards this calendar week hence nosotros tin start planting, together with I'm planning to locomote to a greater extent than or less of the brick from the quondam patio to trouble the border of the bed.

I also require to larn something planted inwards these pots this week.  Last twelvemonth I had hibiscus inwards them, but I'm leaning towards planting to a greater extent than or less type of modest evergreen tree inwards them hence they'll accept coloring twelvemonth round.  I'll locomote checking out to a greater extent than or less options but if anyone has a proffer for evergreens that produce good inwards containers (in Oklahoma) I'm all ears!

We also replaced the bushes inwards our front end bloom beds end week.  I've had Indian Hawthorns inwards these beds for a few years but wasn't loving them there, together with wanted to position inwards boxwoods to start a hedge.  These were a actually prissy size together with I flora them for only $15 each at Walmart.  I'll allow them grow for a patch together with hence start trimming together with shaping them up.  We saved the bushes nosotros took out together with I'll locomote those inwards the novel beds inwards the dorsum yard.

The other projection that I'm super excited well-nigh is our novel front end door.  We've been wanting to supervene upon our electrical flow door for a while.

After starting a preliminary search for one, I realized that exterior doors are expensive!!  I totally sympathize the value of a good, venture door, but nosotros don't actually need a novel door other than feeling similar ours is getting dated, is pretty mutual for our area, together with is non actually our style.  We DO require novel windows, which volition also locomote a huge expense, hence I reckon I'd explore to a greater extent than or less options to salve coin on a front end door.

I was completely ok amongst finding a used door that would locomote the correct size for us, together with was fifty-fifty getting excited well-nigh finding a plain, apartment forest door together with adding moulding to it myself (it's non hard!) inwards whatever pattern I desired.  So, nosotros went to 1 of our local Habitat ReStores, together with hitting the jackpot on our showtime try!  I flora this awesome venture forest panel door for $25!!!  One side has a pretty thick pigment chore that I'll strip or sand down, together with there's a modest fissure or 2 to fill, but it's venture overall together with I'm really happy amongst it.  It's well-nigh an inch taller than our electrical flow door hence we'll only cut down it a flake together with promise that everything lines upward correct for installing it.  We propped it inwards identify only to larn an reckon for how it would look-

I was non concerned well-nigh losing the drinking glass inwards our door at all, inwards fact, I wanted a door amongst no glass.  With the sidelights together with large dining room window correct side past times side to the entry, nosotros accept enough of low-cal coming inwards already.  Plus, amongst the oval window, most wreaths together with door hangings ever looked a footling awkward.  And, straightaway I tin honor a actually cool brass door knocker to add together to the front.

I've been create to displace away from dark on the door equally well, together with here's to a greater extent than or less inspiration for where I'll locomote headed. Ann from
