We named our garden after our dear friend Lou. He died over five years ago. He had the most gorgeous garden and was so proud of it! He was so incredibly generous. We hope to embody the spirit of Lou. I want to always welcome friends over with open arms.

Read MoreThis little flowerbed area has finally become something really lovely. This space used to have a rotting deck until we removed it in 2015. We slowly started creating a flowerbed.

Our neighbors on Oxbow put it out for free in 2004 and I painted it and stuck some patio cushions on it. I was done looking at it, so I finally bought this set on Wayfair.

I spent way too much of my damn precious time painting the damn bridge. It peeled and a lot of the wood was rotting.
