    I’ve never seen walkways or patios made with a mix of bricks & slate until I started watching your channel. I really love it. It’s like someone pulled together the materials with many stories behind them, making a piece of historical art.

    Hi Linda and Stewart. I love the new opening Stewart.
    A common daisy always warms my heart. You put a big smile on my face with this video! Can’t wait for the next one! 🌟

    Interesting, I bought a garden bench from Plow and Hearth that same color. We put it together, yesterday. I love it so much, I have the feeling this green will become my favorite color, for this year!

    Hi Linda….long time follower here. Just wanted to pop in and say because of you I bought some potted blooming hyacinths just for me! They smell wonderful and lift my spirits. Thank you.

    Alstroemeria are one of my favourite cut flowers .. they’re long lasting and are available everywhere. The pink ones you’ve chosen are so beautiful !!! 🌸🍃 Love the patio and look forward to watching to where all the plants get placed both out front and in your backyard. So fun !!! Linda .. I also wanted to mention that the ring you’re wearing is gorgeous !!

    I like how the front patio has the brick in it to coordinate with the brick house & it is a "not in your face" ( subtle look) which will give it a beautiful natural look when filled with your trees, bushes & flowers.🤎💚

    The patio is lovely. It will feel so cozy once the hedge and surrounding plants go in. What a wonderful place to relax and visit with company.

  • @linetteterry1845
    @linetteterry1845 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I find the trick for the Alstroemerias are best when the blooms are tight/closed. Then, they will blossom and last for a couple of weeks. I live it Scottsdale, AZ we have a wonderful selection of colors. Everything is looking beautiful Linda.

  • @cassandrafarris6855

    The patio is fabulous! I noticed that many of the bricks are from Vitrified Brick & Co, Coffeyville, Ks. I have a brick sidewalk up to my front porch and it is made with used brick from the same company. I live in Southwest Missouri (in the very corner, not too far from OKC) and I am very familiar with Coffeyville. We also searched for unique bricks to add to the walk, American flag, "don't spit on the sidewalk", etc. Makes for interesting conversation. Well done!

    Hi Linda! I love your idea to separate the parlor from the kitchen. I always decorate thinking this is a space-that is a space! Coziness in the parlor, yet you can still talk to Hubs in the kitchen! ❤

    Looking so good 😊 I really enjoyed watching the section about all the little special everyday things to do to make your day special just for yourself or for friends that come by for a visit. Love those whiskey bottles. Such a cute idea for all the things that you can repurpose. I wish I knew the brand ~ my hubby would drink the booze and then I can have the bottles.😂

    I thought of you yesterday and really wanted to get started in my garden. So I went out with the intention of just cleaning one square foot. I ended up cleaning up two flower beds on my hands and knees. It was so wonderful to get my gloves in the dirt.😊

    I love the idea of repurposing the whiskey bottles as candleholders. They’d be pretty with some coarse sand or beach glass inside to add more interest. The patio is lovely. Cheers!

    I’m so glad that you did the patio like you had at your other house. A mixture of stones and brick. And I really like the one turned side way that looks like wood. Love the way things are shaping up. ❤️

    Hi Linda, your front garden is really taking shape now. I love the new front patio and was eagerly awaiting today's video with an update. I am a keen gardener myself and have landscaped my own front and back garden over the past 12 years. Keep up the good work...take care, Lisa from a small village in England xx

    Oh my, this was packed with WONDERFUL ideas!! LOVE the flower arrangements with the bark! I was watching this Sunday at "cocktail time" And after pouring my "Manhattan", realized that the bottle was similar to the bottles you showed with the candles!! I WILL be saving these bottles in the future!!! I just love how creative you are!! Oh my goodness, the greenhouse!! Your flowers and Olive trees, actually EVERYTHING, look FABULOUS! I am seriously thinking about a small greenhouse, eventually, at our new home. There is plenty of space in the backyard, and I have always wanted the chance to store my potted flowers over winter. I am just "over the moon" excited about your new cottage and everything you have done so far! Sending much love and blessings to you, Stewart, AND Susu (It's the only time I have EVER heard someone else called Susu, except my oldest SISTER!!).....

    I recently watched one of your videos from a year ago. You said at the end that your Number 1 regret is that you haven’t had a greenhouse. Linda,,,,,get a greenhouse for the cottage. Even a small GREENHOUSE will be such fun! I have a beautiful 10 x 12 that was installed last November. The joy it is bringing me is priceless! Love your videos and the new cottage. Just need that greenhouse. 💕🌻🍋🌱🪴

    I love the patio and cant wait to see more progress. I really enjoyed the suggestions about keeping our eye out for pretty bottles to reuse. I have just saved a small, glass bottle from Trader Joe's that contained cherries (it was a Valentines thing) and am repurposing it for salad dressings.

    Love love the front patio. I wanted to do this at my cottage for the longest until it occurred to me I already have a side patio! My front porch extends past the cover to become a front side patio. So I filled this shaded area that did not grow grass well with shrubs and lots of creeping Jenny. This year I am going to add stepping stones. Love your videos - always. Love seeing you create your front garden.

On an earlier video you shared that you were going to place a bird bath at one end of the path and you were looking for suggestions of what to place at the other end. Have you considered a piece of statuary or grand planter from Unique Stone?

    I love the flagstone/Brick combo for your porch. The original brick also is beautiful. I can picture the boxwood & other plants surrounding it. I would wait to spend more time in the back for your decision on the greenhouse. It may make the yard look smaller and possibly cluttered which I know you are trying to avoid. Maybe a small one but is it worth it? I have a decent size one my HUBS built me. I have a very large acre. I love it. Live back there first you will know. Love your show……
