Friday I had the day off. And the local home improvement stores are giving 10% off to all military... like me! Plus I had the truck and motivation, so this is what I made:
I used 60 1-foot concrete pavers, 12 bags of pea gravel, some bamboo fencing and some plastic border to keep the gravel in place. The patio is 10 x 12, all hand layed by moi.The chairs I had, but I spray painted them to freshen them up, and got new seat cushions from Pier One.
The topsy-turvy planter I fashioned after several I have seen. It's just pots and a wooden dowel.
I really love the way it turned out. Well worth the 8 hours of manual labor it took to put it together... plus T was so surprised he was speechless!
The only thing left is to enjoy the summer nights.
