Flower Bed Update

Here are my semi-finished flower beds. I won't plant the trees I want in the until fall.

I will replace the potted Tulip tree with another tree that will stay green all year. Maybe a Drawf Magnolia since it won't lose its leaves in the winter.
I think I want to add two very small and short Japanese Maples to this front bed.

Our garden bed. everything is growing so far. I also have lettuce and herbs in pots on the back patio that are doing well. 
If you look at the house in the background you can see that we are waiting to pour concrete in the drive and a walkway. Once that is done and I get enough rocks racked out of the front I will plant white azailas in front of the garage windows and try to see some grass. It's just been a process, but I'm okay with waiting. 

I finally got this table set from my grandmother' house and purchased these cushions for the chairs. They match the red cushions one the lounge chairs.

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...
