Where is your junk?

19 years ago

Where do you guys have your junk and gardens? Are most of them behind your home, for you to enjoy, or do you have lots of things in the front for others to share?

DS is heading out to the pool, of course when I'm trying to be on the computer, so I'll elaborate on our home later...

I'll be looking forward to hearing about your homes!

    Mine is everywhere, front, back, sides, plain view. But the kids have made me promise to put the toilet in the back where it can't be seen from the road, guess I'll oblige them.

    Most of my junk is in the backyard. Our house has a lot of windows and doors that face the back and I get to enjoy the views of my garden and junk everytime I walk by a window.

    Mine is right out in the front. We have people stop all the time to admire and take pics of our garden. Love it.

    I have some out front, but most is out back since that is where I can see and enjoy it more. I did tipsy pots for both places.

    I have a very small house and the back fence is beside my daughter's window. So I have put a few things on the fence so she has something to look at other than the fence if she looks out her window.

    Mine is mostly out front. I haven't had anything negative said about it...YET :) Everyone comments on how lovely everything looks,and what is this? where did you buy it? no way,you didn't MAKE that out of VASES/TEAPOTS/BOWLING BALLS fill in the blank :) Everyone wants to know how I get those pots to sit up on top of each other like that(tipsy pots). And what a cute bench,you made it out of a BED? DH keeps his eyes open for neat stuff to bring home to me,and now my sisters do,too :)

    Happy Junking, Cherry

    I have most of ours out front. (so far)

    I have a neighbor who claims to be my secret admirer and she sends me cards telling how nice things look! I wish I knew who she was! It drives me nuts not to know! But I love it.

    And I'm known as the lady who lives with all the cool junk on her garage.

    I like our home to look different than the 'ol run of the mill homes out there.

    Mine is mostly out back and to the sides. The front has estate type junk wrought iron settees,cherubs,concrete urns full of geraniums ,etc.

    My junk is in the front, back, sides, on the house, on the garage, on the shed, everywhere! Not too much in the front though, because it sometimes gets up and walks away!

    Mine is everywhere...(-:

    Mine is in both the front and the back. I have a lot of concrete in my front yard (Hubby makes statuary) so I try to balance it with other stuff. But there is a lot of stuff, so I try to keep it more, oh, quiet. At least in front.

    In back I've got several themes going on, each area has a different set of stuff. I'm going to take pix soon so I can show my treasures...and my hard work in the new garden areas!

    Most of mine is on the side of my yard (where we gather most!) but some right at the entrance to our driveway! It's all a work in progress so I'm sure there will be plenty more ALL around the yard :) Just takes time :)

    I keep mine in the back. As a seller of a home next door to an "over-the-top" junker in the front yard - it offends lots of people and can keep a house from selling. I think good taste and consideration of our neighbors should always be uppermost in our minds.

    I hesitated to answer this because most of mine is in the 2 sheds, under the mobile home, in the bedrooms of the house we live in, and in 2 buildings-a garage and an old house, both built by my grandpa in 1929, and all of them are FULL. The usual excuse--since the hurricanes and tropical storms and Bill's surgeries and illness, and my bad shoulder not many things are out. BUT I must tell you that the garden on my website, is strictly a garden, fenced away from the yard and house, but next door to the house.
