As we're all spending more time in our houses and venturing as far out as our property lines reach, we're all looking at our current spaces and trying to figure out ways that we can reconfigure to fit our new needs. I am as well. Transitional spaces and home offices are needed more than ever. This is a great time to reorganize and redesign. The outdoors have become the lifelines of homes. Maybe you never thought yourself as a DIYer but this is moment to see what you're made of!
Last summer, we built the shed so it all didn’t happen overnight but a lot of the planting and cleanup was done this past spring since there’s a lot of at home time now.
It felt like we’d never get there but finally I stepped back and realized that this backyard has turned into an oasis!

The whole yard was taken over by invasive weeds. It took some determination and persistence to beat them back.
You don’t have to rip out everything and start from scratch. Embrace the space you have. I was not a fan of the cinder block stairs and retaining wall at first and it wouldn’t be my choice of material. However, I appreciate the shape the cinder blocks makes in my yard. Under this new landscaped yard is the old one and what would a space be without it’s history!
