Through the Garden Gate~Cobb Master Gardener Tour 2014

We’ve been so busy with garden tours of late! I’ve got more to come but in the meantime here are some wonderful pictures from the 2014 Cobb County Master Gardener Tour to inspire your next garden project! I’ve got quite a few ideas in the works. Enjoy!

  

I’m obsessed with these adorable ceramic flowers! Instant color and cute to boot!

Colour!

We had a wonderful time touring each lovely garden and look forward to next year! Now to go work in our own gardens!

Have a bright day!

Front Porch Updates

The exterior of my house has been last on the list of to-dos but I definitely knew I wanted to add some pop to the front door with a fun blue color but had a hard time deciding on the perfect shade. I ultimately decided on Benjamin Moore Calypso Blue. Here are some before and after photos!

The front porch was drab with all that white, the door, which is super cute, fades into the background.

Picking out shades.

    

One coat into the door painting. Already looks great!

Added some finishing touches. I bought this ceramic kitty sign in Italy while I studied abroad and I can finally put it outside…on my house!

    

I patched all the flaked paint around the door and walls in addition to adding a cute doormat and large contemporary planters. It looks a million times better!

What’s your favorite color pop to accessorize with?

Have a bright day!
