Since so many have asked the firefly lights are from amazon and the dragon is from Home Goods!

Just remember "family of color"! That's why so many of your things work so well together. Your rug is truly a neutral, but with pattern. Also, things like your lanterns (somebody loves you a lot to gift this wonderful find) are their own element and the way you chose to hang them makes them all the more special! As to your flower choices, it's your house and if they always give you pleasure, they work. I heard a long time ago that if you love it, it works!! So truly enjoy what you have created. Oh, and does the husband have a brother???

I just learned this: Put some rocks in the birdbath, they need it to be pretty shallow. You can have varying heights by differing rock sizes. Wildlife watering spot. Your husband's brain is excellent!!

Love the marbles, they just add a pop, I think I will try it! Thanks🌸🌸🌸so inviting,, looks fantastic 🥰🥰🥰

Love the dragon, and I think that whatever makes you happy is what is important.

I love this makeover! You have really changed the space. Boho allows for mixed fabrics etc and with whimsy adddd it's perfect. I love the lanterns and the marbles totally work!

Thank you! 😊 I’m so glad you enjoyed this

Beautiful iris. Don’t forget that the rhizomes don’t like to be covered completely. Pretty yard.

I am the same way. I let the garden let it grow the way it wants to grow. I even do my food garden the same way that’s why I have plans where they shouldn’t be but they’re happy there so I leave them alone eventually I’ll have a food for us where I just go out and pick food to eat and don’t have to do anything because it’s where it wants to be and it’s happy. The same with the flowers I leave them alone and you never know what’s going to come up and where they receive themselves in my garden and the bulbs multiply but I am so happy with how the results is.

I love when a space come together with all the things that you already own and somehow it just all works out. Truly magical!

I adore what you've accomplished! It doesn't take a pro gardener to enjoy nature and learn what works in the garden... you've proven that. Just my style!

I love the eclectic vibes, nothing matches but it all works together. Great ideas!

Carpenter bees put holes in everything in Georgia….plant some lantana and confederate jasmine…….They get bigger every year and smell divine!!!!

No lantana for a lot of places like here in Florida it’s invasive. Just do your research for any plant that is recommended to you based on your area. Some plants can be really harmful for your area but okay for other places.

You're right! We have the invasive weed type of lantana that comes up every year. After doing a bit of research over the last few years, I think the kind you can buy here in the nurseries aren't the invasive kind...? 🤔 But I can't be certain.

Love that you painted the perfectly good and lovely patio set. Having those multiplying Iris are such a great addition to the garden. I may have to try some, now that you said they do that. The marbles in the fence is such a unique look. And the gifted lanterns must be stunning at night.. You definitely have an eclectic style , with a great mix of colors . As for the ugly white table... your words not mine... Just paint it in a nice blue for a pop of color and cohesiveness with the cushions. It all turned out great , and will only look better as it matures .

Thank you so much for your kind words! I have gone back and forth on the table, I just recently put it out there when a few friends came over and we needed a little extra space and I can’t decide if I want the elements to just finally take it and then buy something new or paint it. But with the idea of painting it a beautiful blue, I can see holding onto it a little longer 😃

Your patio looks beautiful! I love everything you did, especially putting the marbles in the fence. I’ve never seen anyone do that before. Also, I think your chair cushions, umbrella, and garden art go together perfectly. I’m not sure why you were concerned about it initially. Blue and green are a timeless color combination, and you have several pieces of garden are that are blue and green. Really, it’s just wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

I love what you did with the place. I know you said you didn't know much about gardening, so I just wanted to tell you that when you water your flowers, do it at night or when they are in the shade because if you get the leaves wet when the sun is out it burns the flowers which is why your irises turned brown after you planted them. They should recover if you have been watering them enough after planting them. They need a little more water than usual, especially on hot days. If you have any gardening questions, let me know. My landscape architect fiance and I can help. Once again, great job! I especially love all the colors!

Everything looks beautiful and I love your imagination!! Just an FYI - NOT a criticism but to let you know (as you said you were new to gardening) you should never move a plant while it's blooming and iris plants should be planted very shallowly with the top of the root just under the soil. They are best moved in fall or very early spring and the leaves cut to just about 5" tall. Good luck on the gardening journey - I can't wait to see how everything turns out!!

😅 When I was separating the irises from the group I realized I picked one that was already blooming but decided to just go with it. Definitely a mistake but not a biggie for me. You're definitely right about when in the year to plant them. When we first moved into this house it was about June-July and I just took them from the ground at our old place and stuck them in the ground here and they have been so hardy so far! Thank you so much for the feedback and for watching!

I love Portulacas, I never planted them in the ground only in pots, and, to my amazement, last yr. I saw them in the ground everywhere, front & back gardens. They are so pretty and bloom all summer. I live in WI and we have a short growing season. I'm crossing my fingers and hope they come back again.

Ooh! So maybe they aren’t annuals? I remember nursing some in pots during winter seasons and they made it a few years but that’s with bringing them inside. So far… no growth in the ground yet. 🤷‍♀️ Maybe by some miracle they’ll start to but who knows?! I’ve seen a few people say they are perfect to go in between cracks in the concrete and stepping stones.

For the grey poles, you can do what the "Stone Cottage Home" channel did with theirs in their recent patio makeover, they got 2 fence boards and put them at an angle so that they covered the poles and drilled them into the fence. It ended up giving them a more custom look and covered the ugly grey! Hope this helps! I love how it turned out, especially the marbles in the fence, I never would have thought of that! I've been wanting to add whimsy to my patio as well even though my usual style is neutral English country cottage.
