A Designer's Quaint Country Backyard On A Budget

See how designer Carly Nemtean of Carriage Lane Design Build transformed her back garden into a casual outdoor retreat. She took inspiration from her century home's farmhouse aesthetic to create a laid-back look for the backyard. The best part? She did it all on tight budget.
Wanting to frame the property with a dark wood fence, Carly and her husband chose an ancient Japanese wood preserving technique called Shou Sugi Ban, which involved charring the wood and sealing it.

That fire pit is so close to the fence 😐

[@rgs6236]

I was thinking that exact same thing 🤔 It’s way to close to that fence

[@pollyg4160]

I don't like firepits. If you're out in the country and the smoke can't reach your neighbor's windows, fine. I turned mine into a planted area with birdbath and
am very happy with it. Now, I just have to go inside and close my windows when my neighbors burn yard waste. (illegal in this city, county.)

[@sansamlee]

My thoughts exactly.

[@janemily2627]

I LOVE IT! Isn't the fire pit a little too close to the fence, though?

[@johanna2059]

Love the house, garden but I really love the weimaraner dog 🐕. I like it that what they've done with the garden is practical and affordable and the cedar fence with the copper trim is really smart and clever.

I don't know where this house is located, but here in the Midwest those cushions and rug would be so impractical. A couple of rain storms and they would be toast. Really, I felt this yard was either staged for the filming or in a very dry climate.

Outdoor rugs are usually made of woven plastic (quick to dry!) and cushions are always stored indoors/shed when not in use.

So that fence can’t catch on fire??

[@filimomi_is_a_winne_power_up]

Lovely design. I would love to hang out in that yard ❤️. Yeah, I agree the fire pit being so close to the fence makes me nervous.

[@msfeej352]

I love the outdoor rug in the backyard.❤❤❤

[@LilacDaisy2]

I clicked for the shed, so I was very happy the mentioned it. Would love one, just like that.

[@sarahgia]

Wonderful. My favorite part is the table set atop the small stones for a euro moment. I would absolutely do that too.

[@MrAllywood79]

I would have love to see the inside of the house instead

[@artberuntung9161]

Love the backyard. Great design

[@Deanna21D]

I loved this video! 🤍 It was so calming and very serene. The exterior of the home is beautiful.

[@nantiamoutsouroufi3512]

Oh! :-0 you guys stop drinking 🍷 when pregnant? Not very European!

[@GhostedStories]

Lovely, just so lovely!

[@Ladycrafty6]

I love your yard..I’m saving money for a fence but the pandemic caused us to halt saving due to job loss! Can’t wait to get there so I can decorate my property!

[@viverlysumlin7433]
