Modern Landscaping - By plastolux (My Yard)
I finally got one part of my yard done. We moved into this home in Nov. On the right side of the front yard there was this awful island with just about every kind of ugly plant you could think of. After many Saturdays of hauling dirt and pulling plants this was the result. I am no pro by any means. I was just going for a simple geometric island to replace the mess that was already there. See the after shoots after the jump. Let me know what you think!

You did a great job! I like the edging, what is it??

Kim, It is actually curbing, the square is 6″x6″ and the rest is 6″x4″ so the square is a little taller. I had a curbing company put it in.

Hey Tyler — I know I”m a little behind the curve on this one, but better late than never, right? The transformation is really nice. Very clean. And man, that curbing, talk about commitment!

Troy, Thanks for the comments. I took a look at your blog you must have been stoked for the wood floors. What next for your home?

Yeah…the floors were a great surprise! Next…I’m about 2 months behind on my blog (and slowly catching up). We’ve already painted, changed out hardware on a number of doors, did our own IKEA hack and now I’m into window trim and shades. I also really need to get new base/case up everywhere. Oh…and we need need to start hanging art. I’m just so indecisive about where anything should go that I default to not putting anything up and the walls are just begging for artwork. The jury is still out, but I think the next major project is the kitchen.
