Garage Makeover

I got some accessories to update my garage door. I think it looks fancy.

The faux windows make a big difference.

New Front Door

I wanted a pop of color for the front of the house and something different. I love wooden outside doors on other houses so we made one for ourselves. I love how it came out. I got the new cow hanger and greenery for above the door to spruce it up. I also got supplies to make a new Fall wreath for it. Can't wait...

Decorations

I have liked this mirror for a while and I finally found a place for it. I cut down the large sofa pictures I used to put there and reframed them so I can use them in other places.

I found this sheep frame in an extra decor bin I have and I thought a little sheep cross stitch would look cute in it so I whipped one up.

Garage Door Decor

I decided to get some carriage door accessories for the garage doors. I'm waiting on some more stuff for my garage so here's the big garage first.

Hill-Scaping

I was tired of nothing growing on the hill out back. A couple years ago we lugged new dirt and seeded and even got mats to hold the seeds on the hill. Grass came up for a season and then here we are with a desert again. I saw a bush garden in a magazine and they had a path through the woods and I thought that would be nice out back. We created this bush garden and paths and we found a cute arbor at Lowes (on clearance already!).

Unfortunately, when we were finally done with the big part of the hill, the part that had already been done for years looked awful. I weeded it and trimmed and got a few new plants for the area. There are still a couple left to be put in, but I had to get the proper place for sun/shade first. When we finished sprucing that up, the area above it looked terrible. We got more bushes and did a strip above it.

That's it for this year, aside for a few more things in the old rock area and some spreading Juniper bushes for the very steep end at the far right of the picture. Please notice that every rock, huge in the middle and small outlining everything (except for the rock area that was already done), was dug out of each hole that we had to put a plant in by Hubby. There were even extra that I thew into the woods to make it look neater. He's the best rock hunter!

New Decor and A Stitch

I recently got this country trio.

I got the mason jars and holders too. They had tea light candles inside, but I don't use them since they don't last very long on the batteries. I put rag balls inside instead.

I loved this simple picture so I got it on sale for the Summer.

This is my latest cross stitch. I wrapped the mat with the red fabric. I will be making a little tree one soon and I will wrap the mat to match. I hope I can find places to put them at Christmas.

New Lights

I got these cute lights for outside. They were listed under nautical style and it goes well with the gray siding. It reminds me of Cape Cod.
