I went to the store to look for TV consoles
and I came out with this...
and then it spawned an idea.
A crazy idea but if I could get it to work, it would be brilliant!
I instantly drove, bench in stow, to Home Depot where I was going to put my ideas into action. I had no idea if it was even going to look good, I just had to hope.
So with 6 trips to Home Depot, 48 large stones, 130 small stones, 3 lilys, one lilac tree, 48 tulips, a few bumps and bruises, a very sore back and arms later -
I came out with this
It looks good now, but just wait until spring! I planted tulips all around the tree and the lily's that I think will just add some amazing color
also, hopefully by then these will start to grow so you can see them. On the fence you see some Ivy that I have placed in 3 different sections around the fence. Then on the gazebo I have a flowering ivy that will look amazing as it crawls up the side!
Then on the sides I added this retaining wall to make a great entrance into the gazebo.
And to tell you the truth, despite all the hard work it was really fun to do! I am discovering that I actually like this kind of stuff, go figure!

DAYNA!! That looks amazing! I can't believe you came up with tha idea and then did it all on your own! Too bad we don't have a yard or else I would hire you!
Dayna--looks like your lilac planting skills are still coming in handy:) We drove by the old town house last spring and I can't tell you how many emotions surfaced. Thanks again for your friendship! Tell Nate hi and give your little guys big hugs from us. You guys are the best!
You are amazing! Seriously who thinks of these things! :) Just don't let Gabe get ahold of the plants :)
we are WAY too much allike!! LOL. It looks so cute! I can't wait to see it all full grown in the spring! I'd love to plant tulips at our house but I have VERY hungry deer that destroy EVERYTHING I plant. :o(
Yay! It's so fun to see this awesome creation. Now I know who to go to when I get a yard of my own...:)
I love the red bench! I'm impressed but not surprised
It will be so pretty in the spring. Way to go Dayna!
