Oh how I miss those days of projects that were so much fun to do together. Hold these precious days in your heart. And 50 years later you can sit back and remember these times.
It turned out sooo nice. I was really surprised when you said your husband is a Coastie!! My son and daughter-in-law in law are too… reserved now. But there aren’t many of us so it brought a smile to my face.
Oh, gosh, Elizabeth! Your yard went from nice but ordinary to really stunning! You and hubby planned it out well and with just a little help, the two of you created something really special for yourselves and your family. It's amazing how white paint transformed your shed into something delightful to look at! Of course your window with box of flowers has a big impact and accounts for some of it! Finally, the actual patio/living space. How lucky you are that your hubby is so handy and so willing to work hard on things for your home. He did a fantastic job laying out the area, taking up the sod, cutting and setting the pavers (with your help, of course), building the gazebo and furniture and moving it all in place according to your plan. I love where you moved the phlox to - they look very pretty there as a screen! I was sorry to see Rhonda go at first, but your mom took her so she'll settle in. Love all the touches - the roses, the new spot for the grill and the new dining table and chairs. I think you're brave for the white rug! It's absolutely perfect there and I applaud you for using it. I would have wanted to, but would have talked myself out of it, telling myself it wasn't "practical". It's the one thing I'd change if I could go back in time - stop being so darned practical and let my fancy fly! I'm proud that you don't hesitate. 🩷
Let your fancy fly Lucinda, I love that! I love your thoughtful comment too, means so much to me that you take the time to write such encouraging words! Bless you my friend 🥰
Everything looks so good I love all the changes you and your husband made, it looks absolutely amazing. I really love to watch your videos because you seem to appreciate everything so much and you work so hard with your husband. You guys seem to make a good team. I always love the way you end your videos that makes them special. God Bless you and your family 🙏❤️💞💞
What a transformation! Let me tell you that you are one hard working woman! Hubby worked hard too of course lol. Your family will get loads of enjoyment as a result. Beautiful!
What a phenomenal transformation!!! Absolutely gorgeous!! You two did a wonderful job!!! Love the verse, God does want us to enjoy our lives every day in spite of our world and our circumstances. Gif bless you and your family.
You both did a wonderful job! The yard is so beautiful. One suggestion... Please weight the gazebo down by placing the legs in planters or bolt it down because the wind will take it. Keep up the good work and enjoy! 😃🥀🌞
Looks beautiful and peaceful! Love when you young folks do your own work! You appreciate things more. I’m old school and these are things I did when I was young! God bless you and your beautiful family Elizabeth!❤️
We don’t have any dress in our backyard because years ago my mother asked faulted everything in the back so I do container gardening that we built and some that I picked up these real big round barrels. I mean massive barrels so we have an elevated make it easier for me, I don’t have any grass. It works out. I’ve been on four years of growing my garden and I’ve gotten really good at it.
Absolutely beautiful!!! Great transformation goes to show how much you can accomplish when the whole family pulls together!! Now it’s time to enjoy the fruits of your labor!!! ❤👍🏻
*Everything turned out beautifully 😍 Elizabeth had Cam❣️* *So happy to see you transplanted the phlox...it's one of my FAVORITE "old-timey" 🌸 flowers that you don't see much in gardens anymore. 🌸😉 May I suggest that you plant some old-fashioned hollyhocks on the side of the shed where the flower box and windows 🪟 are? They would look so charming there. 😍 And maybe you could also plant hollyhocks in front of your electricals, too, on the side of your house until your arborvitae gets bigger? They grow quickly and if you allow them to reseed, they will come up every year. 💝🤍💛💯*
I would love some Hollyhocks and have been looking for some, but no luck yet! I love the old fashioned flowers, flowers never go out of style right?! 🌸🌸🌸
Your backyard is a beautiful extension of your home. It's just lovely.....❤️ We are enjoying your beautiful flowers. We are so blessed to be able to enjoy your flowers too!
Love the beautiful transformation. Definitely an improvement! We had a makeover, too in our back garden. My husband and son put in a fishpond with fountains. Planted lovely lilies in the pond along with other different plants around it. We now have frogs, newts, dragonflies and damsels that have made our fishpond their home. Also, have some small garden plots to grow various veggies, plus invested in new patio furniture, it’s such a joy to sit in my back garden now and relax.
You both did a beautiful job on the layout and execution of your entire area. The shed looks great in all white that was a good call. But the gazebo and furnishings look really nice I’m sure you’ll be out there and enjoy them all summer long. It’s very nice to see the two of you work together for a common goal. Enjoy your new backyard oasis.
There’s some seeds that you can put in there that it’ll grow much better. It’ll probably take you all the way to winter will be the nasturtium seeds. They got pretty blossoms now they got so many nasturtium varieties.
Great job!! Makes me remember when we did those things when my family was at that stage. You will remember this years from now and feel the happiness all over again🏡🌲👏
I love the white shed! I was just thinking...you could do an agedwhite look by lightly brush-painting your red brick home, so it lets a little bit of worn red brick show thru. As for the little black solar lanterns ...its the slight roof overhang blocking the solar pane...I unhook mine and set them out in full sun for daytime...then hook them up at dusk.l have also thought of battery operated tiny white christmas lights twined up in the ceiling of the gazebo. Dollar General sells them for $2 a strand...and they have an on and off switch. A couple of hanging plant basket hooks attached to the brick house wall above the electrical meters, or tall shepherd hooks for hanging plants strategically.
This space is fantastic! The little shed looks absolutely adorable, Elizabeth. You did a great job! I hope you and your husband create many wonderful Summer memories with the kids.
You & your hubby did a Fantastic job, great "Team" work 😊 I just love the transformation ❤ Iam sure you will enjoy many Family get together's in this lovely spot! I can just picture you putting your decorating touches on it for all the different season's!! Enjoy the Fruits Of Your Labor
That was an awesome backyard transformation.👏🏻👏🏻❤️ Painting the shed white really made it look adorable. Putting the windows and window box on the side added a nice touch . Thanks for sharing your beautiful backyard. I hope you have a wonderful summer and enjoy it with your family.💝
What a gorgeous transformation. The color tones are perfect.. I especially like the windows on side of shed they complement it so well. Your hard work as really paid off.
Your hard work was so worth it. What a beautiful space you created for your family. I love the brick and pattern you choose. The shed looks amazing. Thank you for sharing!
Wow! Very pretty. It's amazing how you 2 can work side by side and do your own individual things also. It all turned out with all your talent. Watching from Pekin, IL
Elizabeth I would put grass squares around the shed. And I would paint the trim around the door and the cross wood on the bottom black. I love the gazebo and the furniture and the rug. Absolutely gorgeous. Everything is just so gorgeous. Great job both of you.
You all worked so hard, and what an amazing payoff! It’s absolutely wonderful, every detail is just right. Thank you so much for the great inspiration… God blesses us with you! 🩷💛🩷
How beautiful it turned out. The shed is gorgeous, love the the planter on the side with the faux window is beautiful. The planters are prefect in their place. Thank you for sharing. Oh you have the cutest kids ever. ❤😊
I think it would be nice to add a extension on your Gazebo patio for your little new table and chairs. Even if it not under the canopy, it will still have a floor so you won’t have to move it every time you cut the grass. Just a suggestion.
What a beautiful transformation! So much hard work, but you will get so much enjoyment out of it. I had to laugh when you said your mom named the Rhododendron, Rhonda. A friend of mine nicknamed me Rhododendron since my name is Rhonda and when I moved she gifted me one. The shed is adorable! I could see some beautiful hollyhocks growing between the shed and the Bobo’s you are thinking of planting. Thanks for sharing your transformation and I look forward to your next video.
I see your name is Rhonda, how funny! I guess it was the most fitting name for a Rhododendron lol! I would love some Hollyhocks and am on the lookout for some :)
Hi Elizabeth, Good job! Love the planting. I’m jealous you can grow fox gloves - they always die on me😢 I’ve got my fingers crossed for really wonderful weather for you to enjoy your spectacular outdoor space. 🇦🇺🦘
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful transformation, Elizabeth. Your projects are getting better and better. Someday, maybe you can paint your red brick home white, if you don't like red. Bravo and your husband is getting to be very handy as well.
Thank you Barb! It’s so funny you say that, because we have been talking about lime washing it… I would just have to think long and hard on it since our home is historic.
Oh how I miss those days of projects that were so much fun to do together. Hold these precious days in your heart. And 50 years later you can sit back and remember these times.
Awe, very good advice! I always think of things like this, I’m very sentimental 🥰
My exact thoughts. My husband and i did so many projects together. Nothing like we use to do now.just little ones.
Great job!
I love to screenshot the scripture at the end of the videos! Youre building a beautiful family home!
It turned out sooo nice.
I was really surprised when you said your husband is a Coastie!! My son and daughter-in-law in law are too… reserved now. But there aren’t many of us so it brought a smile to my face.
I can't believe how beautiful it all looks. What a transformation on the shed!
Thank you! That was so fun to revamp and I’m not even done with it yet 😃

Well, everything is drop dead gorgeous! Enjoy!
Awe thank you so much!

What a gorgeous transformation. The color tones are perfect.. I especially like the windows on side of shed they complement it so well. Your hard work as really paid off.
Thank you Marilyn, I was so happy with how well those thrifted window pains turned out!

Maybe one day we can do something like that! We thought about gravel. The table was a last minute addition :) so far my husband hasn’t complained lol
Wow 😮!!! I love it!! It looks so beautiful and blended so natural like it was always there 💛!!!
Such a great compliment, thank you!

Hi Elizabeth,
Good job! Love the planting. I’m jealous you can grow fox gloves - they always die on me😢
I’ve got my fingers crossed for really wonderful weather for you to enjoy your spectacular outdoor space. 🇦🇺🦘
Hi Kaye, my Foxglove aren't looking so great... they lost their blooms soon after I planted them... not sure if that's normal or not.
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful transformation, Elizabeth. Your projects are getting better and better. Someday, maybe you can paint your red brick home white, if you don't like red. Bravo and your husband is getting to be very handy as well.
Thank you Barb! It’s so funny you say that, because we have been talking about lime washing it… I would just have to think long and hard on it since our home is historic.
I love how your project turned out.
Thank you so much!!
Lots of hard work but awesome results congratulations on a wonderful place to relax to enjoy the summer have a wonderful blessed week
Hi Donna, we have been getting a lot of use out of it! Thank you for watching and I’ll see you at the next one!
