Backyards that will turn you green with envy

Who doesn't love looking at a perfectly manicured backyard? If you're like me, you're much better at taking care of the inside styling than the backyard. I love a good hedge and some roses, but I am not as clever as I'd like to be when it comes to outside landscaping. I pin A LOT …

The drama of filling in a pool

I don't think I can properly convey to you the stress and drama of filling in this pool. It was cracked, non-compliant and not able to be fixed upon buying the house. I knew it was going to be a challenge, but not the worst (but indeed it WAS the worst!). I underestimated so many …

When the sun shows us some warmth I like to revamp my outdoor alfresco area. I either re-pot existing plants, or add a few new ones. I need hardy plants that can tolerate lots of heat and then also survive during the cold months. Here's a few I know will suit most environments... # Geranium ... …
