New Flower Bed

Hello Everybody! Today we had absolutely gorgeous weather so I decided to go to Totem to get some paint for the main floor of our house, naturally i ended up buying $200 worth of stone to re-do our front flower bed instead. The original flower bed was problematic because it was made of a single layer of stone (not the finished top cap pieces) so it really did not look finished and was not tall enough to hold enough dirt to even cover our house's foundation. Totem had a great selection and is a 3 minute drive from my house (trouble trouble) so I got to it! Here is the before picture of the poor excuse for a flower bed. BEFORE

AFTER

!!!!!!!! I decided to go with the charcoal color because our door and some trim is a dark grey/black (Phantom Mist by Pittsburgh Paints- from Totem). I figured that the charcoal would look better with our blue siding compared to the brick red stone that was there before.

I didn't expect it to be so difficult to lay out the stone in a similar shape to the old stone but they were slightly different sizes/shapes, so i basically had to start from scratch (yipes!). There are some spots in the front that need some grass to grow in but otherwise i'm thrilled with the results! (you can see the foundation sticking out here, i need to get more soil to fill it up)

Dirty feet :) I can always find an excuse not to wash my dirty feet until absolutely necessary (I love it) ew gross.

Hope you all had a great Saturday!
