This is the planter we created on the front of the house. This one also wraps around the side. Although this one is unpainted, it will be painted soon. You can see the white creeping over to that side of the house on the trellis which was just recently brown and blue. I like the white much better.


This is the otherside, already painted with my extra petunias sticking their heads above the edge. We like the white because it ties the house in with the windows. And now with the white going all the way across it creates a nice flow and continuity.

P.S. My fabulous friend Sheasa painted some of the lattice with me...in her Easter best no less!


So in case you didnt notice in the above picture, the lawn....not so much of a lawn. That is because Ray has been diligently tearing it up! We are starting from scratch! This is him tearing up the "garden" on the side of the house.
