recycle arbor

17 years ago

DH made this arbor from the wood we took out of the house in our remodel. I bought the gold frame for $3 at the flea market. It is hanging on the easel that a grapevine wreath came on for my Dad's funeral.

Just wanted to share.

what a nice arbor.
Sorry about your Dad's passing.
When my mil died this past spring, I found one of those easels in her garage (among other things no one wanted by melol) and I've been wondering what to do with it. The frame looks great!

Love the arbor and the picture frame on the stand! Also, the door to the right--the whole setting is just great! It's nice to see flowers blooming--since it's getting to be winter time! Thanks for sharing with us!

Love your arbor and a wonderful idea in using the frame. Always with the thot of the stand.

Nice. Very nice. Door what door...had to look back. I thought it was a wall with a window and thought that was neat in a garden.

Thanks for all the wonderful comments. I name my flower beds. This one is called Joan Street, because a dear friend, by the name of Joan, gave me the Purple Hyacinth vine that's growing on the arbor. She also gave me the Red Cypress vine that is growing on the door/wall with the window.
I love this site where we can show off our creations & gain more ideas to create more.

Love the arbor ... great idea to use old wood that looks aged. It looks as though it has been there for many years! Love the gold frame on the easel. But sorry that it came from your father's funeral ... although I think it is a wonderful way of remembering him in the garden!

Thanks for providing a ray of sunshine. It is so cold and depressing here in Wisconsin now. It was so nice to see your beautiful garden in all its glory!
