I Finally Have Flower Beds!

I've been working on creating the outline for my flower beds. All of the rocks have come from our yard and I have plenty more. Last week Kev's dad brought us several truck loads of dirt to go in them and the garden bed he built us. Right now I am only making two beds. This one is on the side of the house with the garage.
This bed is in the front of the house beside the porch. It doesn't get much sun. Since I know very little about plants and gardening, a friend is coming over next weekend to help me pick out plants and flowers. I will post updated pictures once everything is in the ground.

I finally bought a container for our sand, rocks, and shells we brought back from Ireland. I think it turned out great. Now I can display them on a shelf somewhere.

You can type in anything dealing with houses and get thousands and thousands of pictures to browse through. I look at EVERYTHING and pin the things I like on Pinterest. This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
