Home Projects

These are some of Shayla's latest decorating projects. I think she did an amazing Job. We got such a good deal on that mirror and I think it fits perfect.

We finally found a decent price on large Snail Vines, so earlier this week we planted them and wrapped them up ever other post. Already just having that added green to our back yard makes such a difference. I go out about every day to adjust and train the vines to grow right. I'm just to excited to see what it will look like when it all fills in.



By request (Tricia) we have added a picture of our house since some of you have not had the chance to see it.

A couple months ago we planted these Star Jasmine vines in front our pillars and flowers around our tree. We had to dig down about 2 feet to get all the weed grass roots out from around the tree.

Last week finally had to put down some bark so cover up the dirt. We had been planning on filling it in with plants but we could never decide which type. But we had some wild cat that was constantly doing its business in the dirt which made the front of our house quite smelly. We tried all sorts of things to make the dirt smell less desirable, cayenne pepper, vinegar, etc.. but nothing worked. So I finally bought some weed-barrier and bark to cover the dirt. It seemed to be working great until yesterday I found a huge turd in there. So disappointed!!

  2. Your house looks awesome! Those snail vines are huge. Did you buy them quite long? Sorry about the cat. Who would ever get one on purpose?! Ooops, just kidding. They like my sandbox too. I think the chickens keep them away. Which seems strange, but I haven't noticed them hanging around.
