Yesterday hubby and I were walking around the yard deciding what new plantings need to be done and what changes we should make. We stopped at that corner of the house. It is a place where nothing grows, and believe me I have tried growing things there. There is little sun because of a large Japanese maple tree that blocks the light. It is just an eyesore. The only thing that flourishes there is spiders. He said, "We need to get something for that corner", and started listing things that involved money. ( granite troughs, benches...ugh) I am on a thrifty kick and my brain began to think of things we had in the shed, in the garage, or stuck in the basement. I remembered seeing this sweet little chair in the garage on top of the canoe ( it looks like an episode of "Hoarders" in our garage at the moment. ) I think it was another thing he had found roadside. I came out of the garage with it and some bucket that I believe is the liner to a bait bucket, and he said "where are you going with that?" I said, "I just want to try something" He began mumbling about wood glue and clamps as usual. I just ignored it...it's not like anyone would want to actually sit in that spider infested corner anyway. So this is our new "naughty corner" display and I like it. I am going to put a plant in the bait bucket liner. Best of all it was Free and I think it looks primitively charming. What do you think?
