You know my friend Hilary? Well, here are some photos of her beautiful, east end, urban garden taken at her adorable son's 5th birthday party a few weeks ago...
All the trim is Douglas fir
Hil's husband, David, designed the canvas structure that shades the garden
H is the 5 year old, C is his cutie-pie sister who's 3...
Recognize those chairs / table? Apparently it's a perennial IKEA fave.
The horizontal fence - a relatively expensive but optimally elegant solution - is made of spruce stained to look like Douglas fir. Smart, huh? Still really $$$ though.

what a great outdoor space!
ReplyDeleteOf course I love that fence, it is expensive.;-) Really lovely yard.
ReplyDeleteDoug fir is a very strong wood that reminds me of a slightly less dense cherry.
ReplyDeleteIt is an interesting choice. The straight grain is very soothing and it is hard enough to have nice tight joinery.
Pink: Ain't it?
ReplyDeleteBel: It's got a very mellow vibe.
D.: I love the doug fir. One of my fave looks. If only it were affordable :-)
