I ventured to my favorite nursery, Plant and See, to find new plants for the backyard.
We expanded our deck, so we need new shrubs to border the addition.
The challenges are I want something that has flowers, but stays green year around,
and that is sturdy enough to stand up against my 130 pound dog
that likes to dig and lay on my new shrubs.
I opted for Azalea bushes (but have not put them in the ground yet).
I also picked up 10 bales of pine straw and laid that out (so much fun)!
I decided that I did not want my front door red anymore.
It seems the only times I love it are during Christmas
and when I have my 4th of July decorations out.
Other times, it is a hassle to find wreaths that will not clash.
Also, I am hosting a baby shower at the end of July and do not want
pink bows around a red door.
Painting the door was easy!
But, I did not think about the hardware.
The black on black was not working for me.
A simple solution: Gold spray paint!
( I hope it holds up well)
during the process of painting the hardware
Look, I had to venture back to Plant & See for 5 MORE bales of pine straw!
Yes, I will be back by the end of the week for EVEN MORE.
If I had known I would need this much, I would have just hired someone.
