Its hot. Like unbelievably hot here at The Brick House. So it seems that any plans for landscaping will have to wait till the end of summer. I’m actually dreading that part of the house rehab. I know nothing about plants or growing things in the desert or how to landscape so it looks nice and not like a sad cactus garden and I can’t afford a designer. (And I surely wouldn’t want to do any book learning to figure that stuff out. Really? Gardening? Sounds B-O-R-I-N-G).
Since we are so close to Palm Springs I thought I could take some inspiration from them…
Sassy.
These images below are definitely fitting into my idea of what I’d like to do.
I’m not really sure how attainable this look is. We fortunately (or unfortunately) have about 10,000 sq. ft. of property that needs LOTS of tender loving landscaping. All I see are dollar signs…
God I want that pool so freaking bad right now. Its so perfect – I would totally copy that for my side yard.
Do you remember our fence?
Its so awesome! I look at that monstrosity everyday and die a little inside. So anyhoo – fence inspiration:
I want horizontal wood. Everywhere. Or hard troweled plaster…
Just for giggles…
Above is our sad driveway and front yard…and below some inspiration to remedy that situation:
This project will take FOREVER to finish. It is just so overwhelming in its scope and cost that I’m frozen in fear to even start pricing materials out. I think the fence and driveway are the first on the list to complete…check back in like 3 years and see if we even started, I have a feeling we won’t.
