Before & After Outdoor Living Space ... over the years!
 |
| I thought we were done after we did this addition - however there was still alot of brush on our fence row from a divided fence line with our neighbor and as you can see here grass would not grown on the West shady side of the cottage. |
 |
| So we brought in the rock - see all the brush to the left - see the trellis to the left behind the white rocker.. They needed to go as well.. I had a plan !! |
 |
| Cleaned out the brush - trimmed the trees back and did away with all the vines growing on 3 trellis |
 |
| Beginning to open the space... (no flowers in those pots on the fence yet!) |
 |
| Sharing the before... |
AND THE AFTER!!!!
 |
| Added the cedar/guage wire fence to the left to plant vines and climbing roses.... |
 |
| SO happy with it... the dividing fence, we wanted privacy but did not want to shut out our fabulous neighbors! |
 |
| Added another pergola... its beautiful cedar so it will have to dry out a few weeks before we paint ... to match the other pergola. |
 |
| Perfect for entertaining... |
 |
| Better glimpse of the pergola.... The slats on top are exactly 2 inches apart which provides great shade.. Outdoor fans are coming - very vintage and will be hung on the cedar/painted posts... |
 |
| He does great work... used the same guy that remodeled our garage, did the side fence now this! Local to Mckinney call me for their number. |
 |
| Looking up .... |
 |
| Looking down the side yard towards the street... More to come when we have fans hung and paintng & planting done! Thanks for stopping by! Valarie |
