A place to relax
The Ol' Screen Door
that was originally propped in the corner of the side porch. It was there because my client has
a love for old screen doors
and she had purchased this one to use as decoration. Without telling her my plans I kidnapped her door to give it a makeover.
and show off the details.We purchased two sets of bi-fold doors from the thrift store. And added plywood and molding to make a shelving unit.I gave the outside a few coats of the exterior red paint
that was used on other porch projects. The interior was painted a calm gray.Now the ol' screen door is not just pretty to look at,
it's functional too.The perfect little potting shed!
Before and After: Designing Minimalist Backyard Makeover
Minimalist design examples prior Backyard Makeover
After moving from Manhattan in colder hub-out of Brooklyn, a city girl Caliopie is longing for a place for relaxing or partying with friends. Although he wanted a minimalist pages, the existing concrete box whose pages have been referred by friends as a prison exercise yard!
Matt's challenge is to come up with a design that softens the hard space and can be managed for the first time gardener. His plan is to use concrete as a base course for the cedar deck and keep the style simple planting bamboo and perennials with easy maintenance.

To work with a huge concrete pad, Matt decided to attract the best measure of this space-feature. With decking floor with red cedar, it can maximize the area to entertain while also covering the concrete. New park has a minimalist design that creates a sense of Zen-like homeowners desired.
The cedar decking is a budget friendly alternative to IPE and other hardwoods. Instead of painting, what is left of the wall and add a feel, gritty urban settings. When viewed in relation to the decking, the space is accented by, a simple straight line.
Because Caliopie not an avid gardener and worked for hours, she wanted a low maintenance backyard. So the new space a few planters filled with golden bamboo (Phyllostachys Aurea) and colorful perennials such as gaura (Gaura lindheimeri 'Siskiyou Pink'). Golden bamboo can be quite invasive, so it's better to grow up in a bathtub if you have a small garden. For someone like Caliopie who are not sure how to care for plants, the best part is it takes very little maintenance. Only occasional water once established.

Bamboo is a great architectural plant that adds height and bulk to any planting scheme. Plus it is not good in containers. There are hundreds of types available, some of which can grow to 40 feet or more. These factors that encourage high-Mart to use them here.

Everybody Loves a Monogram
A great way to indicate where you live (along with your address) is to hang a huge monogram just outside your door.
I purchased an big wooden letter at my local craft store for just a few dollars.To make it a more significant statement I cut a piece of beadboard and framed it with MDF strips.I spray painted the beadboard frame black and the letter got a couple of coats of heirlloom white for a nice contrast.
Pillow Talk
I stumbled across a fabulous website today called Ferm Living which is an online Australian company that specialises in Danish design. They sell graphic lifestyle products developed by the Danish company Ferm Living & they are fabulous.
I fell in love with ALL of their pillow range but they also stock wallpaper, wall stickers & bed linen that all compliment one another.
