Green fingers..

Hello everybody!

Apologies for being so rubbish recently but Isla has been teething and I have been attempting at creating my youtube channel *squeal* so things have been crazy mad in our household!

I just thought I would do a quick blog while Isla is taking a nap for a change! Recently she has been so awake and a very emotional bubba too *sad face*

As we are in a rented property adding touches to our house isnt as straight forward for most people so my fiancé AJ decided to take it upon himself to
re-landscape our garden after getting permission from our landlord he was very happy for us to tackle it!

So here is a before!!Inbetween And here is after!!

Oooooo .... Ahhhhhhh!

AJ has worked so so hard on this and Isla and I are incredibly proud of him. Our landlord also asked us to store the patio slabs somewhere which was quite a brain fuzzler as we had no room until AJ's very tired arty farty brain struck again and came up with this master piece!

Everyone i have showed had no idea there was even patio slabs behind the bamboo screen as it looks so convincing as just a little plant shelf. I think we may even use it as a little potting table next summer so we can start to grow some more vegetables and pretty flowers. This area is now perfect for us to sit out and enjoy our evenings with a nice drink enjoying the sunset with our little chimnea as well.

It sounds so sad to be so excited and happy just because we have added grass to our home but this is literally our dream garden. A nice little seating area for our new table and director style chairs, somewhere for our family to run around like loons and sit out in the sun on the picnic blanket for afternoon tea and cake or even enjoy the odd bbq when the sun decides to come out!

We cannot thank AJ enough for making our little home even more perfect and ready for Isla to run riot as she grows up and make her childhood memories here! Now it is time to tackle the job of painting the house inside soon which means endless trips to get tester pots and my favourite job getting new accessories for each room! Yaaaay!

Hope everyone enjoys their bank holiday weekend :) let me know if you have any projects in mind for your house or if you have completed any! I would love to see your before and after photos!

Ciao for now
Mel xoxo
