Dream Landscape. Day 4.




Can you tell what the pickets are? You got it-old garden tools. It sort of reminds me of the Wizard of Oz. Simple, simple and so inexpensive and what a great way to recycle old shovels.-R

Dream House with Great Landscape. Wallingford. Day One.





















The first time I saw this place my heart skipped a beat. Really, it’s fantastic inside and out. Sort of a Dwell Magazine meets The Folk Art Messenger. This week Well Done Blog will be featuring exteriors from this home.

Entry: So simple, and graceful, and easy, and inexpensive. The lavender is drought tolerant and evergreen. It can look good year round with little to no maintenance. The walkway is a combination of gravel and pavers. Both of these items are easy to find and easy to install. The mailbox is recycled and funky. The most expensive item here is the concrete retaining wall--not cheap but clearly essential to the design. -R
