We finally got our arbor up!! The wisteria was already waiting for it since I'm an impatient crazy person and put it in last year.
The front of the house looks better too. We added in more shrubs & hydrangea.

Please ignore the toys everywhere, but here's a pic of the arbor leadinginto our back yard:
I'm off for a crazy day but hope you're having a great week!!

As a decorator & a textile designer, this is my place to muse... perfection doesn't interest me; Reality and charm do. Fresh floppy flowers from the garden over long-stemmed roses any day, I love it when things are slightly off and tell a story.

Looks great! I think that the cars look adorable parked next to eachother, lunch break from play day.
Wow the arbor looks great as does your house. So fun to look at the before and afters and see such a great trasnformation. Love the boys trikes also!
Wow! Your house looks amazing, I know part of the "then" and "now" difference is the season, but with the new paint, cute door shrubs and arbor, the outside of your house looks as fantastic as the inside. I want to picnic in your yard.
Beautiful! Such great curb appeal, especially given what you started with! Great job. :)

I love the arbor and how you decorated the exterior of your home (even the toys) =]. So nice!
Actually, the red toys provide a great pop of color in the photo.
You house looks so fabulous, now.
The red bikes in your photo are precious and add just the perfect pop of color against your gorgeous greenery!
Your house is so so cute, Lauren. I love what you've done with it. The lush greenery around it is gorgeous!! And your fabrics are beautiful as well. Talented girl you are!
Lauren- What a beautiful entrance. And Wisteria to welcome it, as well!
We moved to our "70's-contemporary-with-a-walk-out-basement-and-a-creek" around the time when you moved into yours, and I feel a kinship, even with the landscaping. I brought a rose bush with me when we moved, and just this week lashed it up to it's new support!
But of course, your yard looks SO much better than mine. it's so welcoming and wonderful.

I love how lush and green your yard is!! Jealous!! I just have busted up concrete slabs at the moment... Your yard looks great though. And can't wait to see your fabrics online! Gorgeous! - BOO
The arbor is beautiful. MY prayer for you is that you will be holding a small child upon your hip as you wonder about all the beauty that the beatiful flowers and vines that grow upon it will bring for years to come.
ahh Lauren, it looks fabulous. An arbor (and plants for that metter) has been on my home to do list for almost 3 years. Yours is beautiful. Can't wait to hear about the wisteria. I'm afraid to plant it but I love the look!
Oh my goodness,the improvements are to die for!!! You did such an amazing job. What a beautiful home!
I think its a good year for Wisteria. It will be just gorgeous on your new arbor. Great job. Debi
Your before and after pictures are just amazing!
Have a lovely day! Rambles with Reese

Your house looks so cozy and inviting! I want to put an arbor like that on our backyard gate as well. So many projects to do before that one though. Looks lovely Lauren!
