A Splash of Color {My Backyard}

Welcome to our backyard!

This is one of my favorite spots! See the chair on the left? Tim made it just for me as a Mother’s Day gift a couple years ago. I love to sit in this chair with a good book…it’s so big and comfy!

What about that chair on the right? Well, that was made by A.J. as a Father’s Day gift for Tim a few years ago. He made it with his Grandpa...wasn’t that sweet?

I’ve been working on my backyard plants and adding new flowers here and there.   So, I thought I would share a bit of our colorful yard with everyone.

There’s nothing like a splash of colorful flowers to brighten your mood!

Tim built this wonderful deck years ago and has done so much to improve our backyard.   He even built a cool Tiki Bar in the corner of our yard! Tim has all the photos of it on his blog…Remodeling Guy! {You’ve got to see them!} It’s a great part of our backyard!

I’ll tell you something funny about one of the pink pots above…yes, I spray painted them…but that’s not the whole story.

I was spray painting my clay pots because I”m cheap like that to make them all bright and pretty. I love my spray paint!

I was running out of pots for the flowers I bought. I usually have tons of clay pots, but they all have some type of vegetable growing in them right now. {I had more seeds than garden!}

Tim thought I should just spray the pot it came in…Hmmmm!

I grabbed my can of spray paint and a Sea Grape leaf. {I’m sure paper would work as well!}

What did I have to lose if it didn’t work out? So…I sprayed.

Ta Da! I couldn’t believe how good it turned out! You would really have to check it out up close to know it wasn’t a nicer pot.

That works for me!

I even painted a coconut…I must be nuts…maybe it’s the fumes!

Don’t be afraid to add a splash of color to your backyard or porch with spray paint! You can always spray over it if it doesn’t work out!

I hope everyone has been enjoying the outdoors lately! What’ve you been up to around the house? Was spray paint involved?
