The driveway has been poured and is curing, I cannot wait to see it all when the concrete dries and it looks spectacular. We have so much work ahead of us, front landscaping, back landscaping, finishing the front porch, doing the walkway but who is counting, right? Ha! I am beyond excited about how all this work has changed our little cottage. Now onto the front landscaping, I love the idea of a maintenance free flower bed. I love the pictures above, it is the garden in front of Isabel Marant's store in LA. Unfortunately a lot of the plants shown above will not survive here with our cold winters. So my plan is to try to mix things up a bit, a bit of traditional perennials that we have here and some members of the cactus family that will survive here. So far it's not looking that bad, I am just trying to take all the inspirations that I can and then get to work. I hope that you all have a nice weekend, we are planning to have a long relaxing weekend, recover from all the nonstop construction of the past month and take our time with the rest. Who knows, this will give me time to change my mind once or twice about the landscaping idea! Ha!
