Wow the chandi looks beautiful! Nice redo & bet it's pretty with lights going. Love the bottle tree too. I think that will be perfect for your vine to grow on, looks very sturdy. Like the stacked paver wall as bed border. Very nice view you have from the house!! Jan

That is one lovely little garden! It has given me all sorts of ideas. The stair railing trellis is great, and the bottle tree is wonderful! What a beautiful assortment of unique bottles you have! Is the grave marker for a deceased pet? If so he/she is resting in a lovely peaceful and colorful spot.

I like the chandelier too!

What a lovely area! I wish I could have a glass of tea and sit with you in that pretty green garden swing and talk JUNK! It's so inviting! I LOVE the way you used the banisters!

I had a chandelier on my patio...not as pretty as yours...but I had to take it down because my TALL son always hit his head on it! My daughter and her family and my son spend a LOT of summer evenings on our patio enjoying things from the grill...so I want it to be as welcoming as it can be so they'll continue to come! He teased me that visiting hubby on the patio was going to become a headache if I didn't move the chandi! LOL

What a great area Syble! I LOVE the stair banisters...be sure to give that DH of yours a big hug for bringing them home! That was great! And your chandi turned out beautifully too...and is that a giant cricket or grasshopper in your garden too??? Looks very cool!

frou...it's great to see your garden BLOOMIN', for pete's sake! Your phlox look so pretty & I can't tell what the blue flowers are!

What a save on the stair railing! That will be awesome with a clematis! And your chandi looks very good hanging there ...very classy with your column in backgrd. Love your gardens! You've been working hard! TFS! Jeanne S.

oooh, so pretty-pretty! i want my own 'playhouse' too :D i love the way you laid out your bricks love the chandelier, and the stair rail, i wouldn't have noticed the leaves missing :D Christmas you can cover it with white lights and green pine boughs. is that a bridal wreath in the back or spirea?

LOVELY Garden!!! Especially inviting with that awesome bench!!! Great projects...lots-o-eye-candy!!!

I love it all, Frou. Especially how you stacked the pavers, that is really neat! I'd like to sit on your bench with a book and glass of tea! Such a pretty garden area.

hugs, Karen

What an innovative idea for using old step railings! They will look great with vines growing on them. Love the bottle tree, your cute little shed and chandelier too. It's so nice to see a garden looking so lush and pretty. We are still at the daffodil and gold forsythia stage (which are both very welcome sites!).

It all looks so pretty and inviting. Love the chandi and the stacked pavers. Good reuse of the banisters.

Thanks for all the sweet compliments, sorry I haven't responded sooner. We were gone a camping trip for 6 days and now I just want to stay in the yard everyday till dark. GMThyme, that's funny about your son bumping his head, my light is directly over an outdoor dining table,so that no one can hit it. Jeanne, those blue flowers are my left over pansies, they will be replaced soon with some summer annuals. KK, I think that is really some sort of spirea, but we have always called it bridal's wreath. I have some in my front yard, but they are different and don't bloom as prettily.

I'm working on one for my patio now. I'm using solar lights, just remove the ground stake from them and insert in the candle holder part......love yours
