custom outdoor beauty...

I've mentioned before how lucky we are to have wonderful neighbors,

 but what I haven't told you is that they can diy ANYTHING!

We're talking serious style, research, design, plans, tools, and perfectly engineered execution!

You're the lucky ones today because I'm sharing their amazing deck,

 flower boxes, and privacy draperies they designed and built themselves!

This second story deck is adjacent to their newly remodeled kitchen.
The design adds beautiful architectural interest to this side of their home.

They designed custom planter boxes, a six foot herb garden is planted for easy

access from the kitchen, another holds seasonal flowers.

The hanging white lights create a warm ambiance in the evenings.

 Mr. Neighbor is the engineer behind a cable system to hold the heavy planter boxes.

Mrs. Neighbor is behind the aesthetics, coordinating the plantings, and making

these beautiful, fringed privacy drapes.

The panels are attached to the rod with clips and rings for easy adjusting.

She created the fringe by removing the bottom six inches of horizontal threads in the

 fabric, leaving the vertical threads to twist themselves into fringe. 

The custom ties were made from the horizontal threads she removed! 

Thanks so much great neighbors for allowing me to share the beautiful space you've created!
