Idea One: Hang a Hammock under string lights
Hook up a hammock between two trees, or if your yard is too new and doesn’t have well established trees you can find a free standing hammock from Costco. To create the magical atmosphere simply hang lights from branch to branch, or from a lattice or pergola. This is sure to be the perfect spot to relax, reflect and escape. To find the full tutorial visit the Stephanie Lynn website here.
Idea Two: Build a Wooden Walkway
Build a rustic wooden walkway with pallet wood. You can use it as a bridge over you garden and to link two areas of your backyard. It also adds character to a corner of your backyard and creates the feeling of separate areas. To find the full tutorial visit Funky Junk Interiors here.
Idea Three: Use old windows to maximize space
An outdoor window shelf looks so quaint and is highly effective at storing your BBQ tools and spices, so your backyard won’t appear cluttered. Don’t forget the potted plant to elevate the cuteness!
The other style of window helps your backyard appear bigger because the mirrors offer depth and adds extra dimension to your yard. You can turn vintage windows into mirrors and hang them against your fence or side of your home. To find out other ways to re purpose old windows visit country living here.
The Excel Team looks forward to your visit to chat about the epic Summer Backyard Event! Your brand new landscaping and fence are waiting for you! Have a safe and happy summer!
