Painting a glowing "carpet" on the ground and incorporating bright orange stools and curtains brings a party atmosphere to this particular deck.

This chair cost $1 at a yard sale, and RMSer ltmulligan gave it a $2 paint project. Now it offers a pretty contrast to the yellow yarrow.

When a neighbor tore a deck out and left the bits onto the control, RMSer Chicago Recycler had the materials to get her porch counter. She constructed this stand from the 2x12s (top) and 4x4s (legs), using scrap 2x4s for its supporting arrangement, and she gave it a classic mahogany stain. She also built the chairs at each end, using a nailhead finish to secure the pillow cloth. To dress up the blank wall custom bathroom glass doors . she built a faux fireplace from the scrap wood.

This homeowner's route to the yard wound past a blank side wall of the house. To camouflage its awkwardness, he suspended a simple trellis and a birdfeeder, and thereby made an instant garden nook.

This fantastic potting bench was built from old doors and trimming that came out of a garage sale for $1 apiece. The shelves were created out of old barn wood. "Recycle, recycle, recycle," RMSer debbieO_indy says.

A fantastic find in a thrift store: shams, a bolster and cloth for a total of $5.40. It was all RMSer scribbles2 needed to turn an older glider, purchased at a yard sale, into a comfy garden bench.

The gorgeous patina of barn wood provides this rustic potting shed that always-been-there look. The wood and roof material came out of a century-old barn on the family farm, and the windows were collected from curbside. Posted by RMSer prairiegardener
