It’s time for many to start your gardens! Need to label which rows have what planted in them? Here are a few favorites I’ve seen recently:

Foil Printed garden markers from the Modern Gardener.

Garden markers made with vintage silverware from the Etsy seller Monkey’s Always Look .

Copper leaf markers from Etsy seller JCraneJewelry.

I’m loving these suspended gardens from StringGardens of the Netherlands. Wouldn’t they look having a whole string of little flowering plants with fresh grass growing on them hanging on your patio eaves? Wondering if I could make one myself…

I spotted this Rubber Hose chair (via curbly) and my head is just spinning with ideas. Wouldn’t it be fun to play around with these colorful hoses?

I can just see a handful of them out on my back patio in a range of colors. Nothing like a bit of color to make a space more fun. Instructions on how to make the chair can be found here.

Usually I subscribe to 4-5 design magazines per year. When it’s time to renew I gauge how much I like them by how many pages are earmarked, or just plain ripped out. If there’s only one or two per edition I usually don’t renew. This year I decided not to renew 3 of them and went with one that was a little more expensive and in French! Was it worth it? You tell me:

This is the first edition of Elle Decor Idees that I got. More than half the pages are earmarked!
Here’s a few of the images from the current one that I loved!
Need an outdoor table but don’t want to spend a lot of money? Here they took 3 different used tables and painted them all the same: white with an aqua stripe across the top. I bet you couldn’t even tell at first glance that they are all different styles!

I’m not a huge “work in the garden” kind of lady. I’ve tried! I really have! Every year for the last 3 years something else seems to eat/kill my plants. But, I think I might try a little harder if my garden shed were painted like this!

You can order your own subscription through Amazon.

P.S. Don’t forget that the design challenge ends tomorrow! Enter here.
