A Simple Garden Window
03 July
Last year I worked hard on my backyard landscaping and plantings and while I'm really proud of how it looks out there, I think it needs a little bit of oomph if you know what I mean! A little character!
I have some old windows in my garage so I thought I'd use one to create a simple garden window.
I also found an old shelf in the garagehoard supply of valuable inventory. I attached it with just a couple of L-brackets that I also already had!
A couple of D-rings (you guess it... I already had them) and it was ready to hang on the fence.
The shelf got a coat of leftover white paint and now it was ready for a couple of tchotchkes!
I found this cute little ceramic bug at the grocery store of all places!
And this colorful clay lizard from TJ Maxx!
The birdhouse was something I already had.
As always, my trusty little sidekick was supervising!
With the window hanging above my grandma's wheelbarrow, it adds a little interest to the yard!
Here is what it looked like before. I'll be using the old gate someplace else in the yard and the gazing ball was moved to another corner that needed a little color
Sometimes I think simpler is better in the yard 😊

Super cute, love the bug. I also love how you've planted your grandma's wheelbarrow. I need to do more stuff like that. Thanks for the inspiration Tania!
ReplyDeleteThe window's a fun accent and the tchotchkes add the perfect touch of whimsy. The lizard looks like he's trying to figure out if he can jump from the fence into the wheelbarrow! Cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It does kind of look like he's thinking about jumping!

Thanks! My grandma was pretty much a master gardener so planting her wheelbarrow every year is my way of remembering her :o)

What great ideas!! I especially love how you've planted the wheelbarrow. You find the cutest things (love that bug!) and put them together so well.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vikki! They had bugs in different colors :)

The little window looks charming on your shed! I've thought of doing something similar on the side of our shed, but I had not thought of adding a shelf to it--great idea! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Ruth Anne!

That is just adorable! I really love it and it is perfect above the wheelbarrow...which is gorgeous! I am so looking forward to creating a beautiful yard if we ever finish other projects! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicky! I was just wondering the other day if you ever finished your deck. :o)

Super cute! Love your wheelbarrow too! Thanks for sharing @ Vintage Charm!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of attaching a shelf to the bottom of the window. My local grocery store always gets cute seasonal decor too and I love the colourful lizard.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tribute to your grandma by planting pretty flowers in it. Did you drill drainage holes? I've been on the lookout for an old wagon to use as a planter.
Hi Shirlee! I did drill drainage holes in the bottom of the wheelbarrow. I hope you can find an old wagon, that would be pretty too. My mom used to have one she planted moss roses in.
