Guest Groups: Backyard Decorating

I’ve been working diligently the past couple of months on creating a much more usable and gorgeous backyard. Living in the hills allows me a fairly brilliant setting, but that I definitely need a couple of things to let me appreciate it to its potential. With the longer days and the warm nights, my own backyard can be used as an additional living room and I would like it to function as beautifully as possible. — Shannon from Shannon Berrey Design

Firepit By Plodes – $1,190

My children love putting around a campfire and roasting marshmallows for s’mores. This firepit is functional, but it is so magnificent, it would grow to be an architectural part in the backyard too.

Remember swinging from the trees as a kid? Such memories! I know the neighborhood children would love it if I hung this by the huge elm tree right in my creek’s edge.

Rocking Hammock – $219

Lying in a hammock and rocking in a big comfortable rocker are two great ways to unwind in a garden. This awesome rocking hammock provides both at exactly the same moment. I can see a great deal of fighting over this one, so it is a fantastic thing it is big.

Candlelight is a lovely, easy way to throw a gorgeous glow on blooming backyards. I’d really like to scatter a half of those candleholders with big chunky candles.

Zinc Rectangular Rail Hook – $12.95

My porch gets a large amount of sunlight in the spring, but it becomes shady in summer time when all of the trees are filled with leaves. This planter is ideal for moving around the rail of my porch when the sun changes with the seasons. And there is no hardware, therefore there are no holes left.

For people who don’t have the room to store big, bulky watering cans, these modest screw-on pour spouts are a wonderful choice. They turn whatever reasonably glass bottles you’ve got into watering bottles.

Dash & Albert Rug Company

Trimaran Stripe Sprout And Ivory Indoor And Outdoor Rug – $38

You haveta enjoy a rug which does not mind getting hosed. Adding a rug to your porch brings an instantaneous coziness, not to mention it feels great on bare feet. I love these so much that I use them indoors too. And, if it’s cluttered, you can throw bleach on it, peel off it and, voila, it is new again!

Metal Heart Bird Feeder – GBP 12.50

A sure fire way to increase the number of feathered friends in your lawn is to provide them a fairly perch and a lovely meal.

Among the first things I do each spring is plant my window boxes. How I’d love to toss my vinyl ones and replace them with those gorgeous custom-made boxes. The weighty corbels include the perfect country cottage charm.

Etsy

Rusty End Pembroke Corgi Metal Garden Art By Mountain Iron – $34.99

My metal conductive corgi is perched right between the black-eyed susans in our lawn. He does not step on the flowers and does not leave his business in the pansies. He is kind of the ideal pet.

Copper Plant Stakes The Featherweights By Dillybags – $19.50
