Keeping busy and slowly making progress on the back yard. A few months ago we decided to frame out the windows. We finally had the time and energy to get it done. The workshop has a super simple fame around its windows and so that’s the style we went with.
Parts of the back yard fence’s paint is chunking off. So getting the trim paint color matched was SO easy. I just walked over to the fence and yanked a chunk of paint off and then sent Jon off to Home Depot.   The simple frames make such a big difference. We love them! I used the nail gun for the first time on this project. I picked up this cute little wall art to put in my sitting area. And then backyard art kinda snowballed. Jon totally teased me about my initial piece. He was all, “It’s a back yard. Why does it need art?”  “Because it’s fun. That’s why.”

But then he WAY jumped on board with the idea of backyard wall art. “You know, I do have leftover plywood you can use……”

So the house in blue paint has two quotes from Harry Potter.

I teased him about wanting a window flower box. But I’m so glad we did it anyway even though I wasn’t totally sold on the idea… The window box. I LOVE it. I’m so glad Jon had this idea and that we went with it.

The play side of the workshop has in purple quotes from The Princess Bride. And Regan calls dandelion puffs wishes so I had to….

These two on the BBQ side of the workshop in green are Firefly quotes. Yet to be hung. Jon also extended the play set shade and finished stringing the outdoor lights. Now the swings are always shaded from the devil sun. 😉
