Fluffing the curb appeal.....

I've been fluffing about in the front yard here on Lavender Hill. 
 I had a curvy bed cut along the path edge  and planted some Hostas and annuals:


He's coming back to do the other size for me this week...




I finished all the mulching up front -


And put in some of the annuals...







I used a vintage tablecloth from the 50's
 (it was mommy's)
to cover the cushion on the swing...
I like the pop of pinks!




I still need to finish mulching the back
 and 
work is continuing on the cabana...
 and 
we have to open the pool...

So much to do to take advantage of the 3 summer months in Jersey!

All your hard work is certainly paying off. Your home looks beautiful!

I'm so glad you came by my blog today. It sounds like we share a love of homemade personal products.

A good way to repurpose a vintage tablecloth and in a place where it can be seen and appreciated. Your flower containers are pretty.

The garden is looking very nice. Love the cushion covered in the old table cloth.
