We have been in this raised bungalow 6 years now. It is much smaller than our first home so it was a big adjustment. We use the space more efficiently since there are only 3 of us in our family. I must admit, I miss not having all that room to decorate.
We have changed our landscaping a little since this pic but I am not happy with how it turned out- we should have left it alone and just added plantings! Sometimes I need to be patient and work slower because now we are going to have to spend quite some time 'undoing' and making it just right!
We added the planter box and trimmed the entry door in black. Lantern was customized into a hanging light fixture by the hubby. I can't tell you how many items I have brought home and he has needed to customize into light fixtures. Sometimes, you just can't find exactly what you need and you have to improvise :)
He custom built the fence and gates which have since been stained. We are actually changing the colour this year to match a pergola he built last year. The color, I believe, is called Driftwood. Will post pics once done!
I really enjoy interior decorating but landscaping is not my forte. I struggle with it quite a bit- especially on this pie shaped lot. I love symmetry but have a hard time with this property. I look forward to making some changes this spring and summer. I have added some pics of landscapes I like and would like to incorporate to some degree or another. Feedback welcome!
