Since this board seems to be on the home improvement kick along with me (im H.I. crazy right now), I thought I would share this.

We are a few years out from re-designing our garden (kitchen remodel is #1 on priority list) but I did this mock up to show my 'circle' design to my husband.

Now that i did it, Im really excited about it...too bad I cant do it myself :D

This is my backyard as it is now:

What I want it to look like - complete with koi pond. I couldnt figure out what sort of fencing/plants I would want but you get the idea:

very cute - can fish live outdoors in this area all year round? I'd think they would freeze - at least with the last winter we had!

Teri: Evidently, if the pond is deep enough and you cover it, the fish live thru the winter. I dont really know much about it but Luke used to work in a petshop when he was a teenager so he knows what to do.

Beautiful Stef. Good luck with it, once you start!

We are probably not going to be able to work on our backyard until next year. We cleaned it up for now though. Our major concerns are the front yard and the basement right now, which we completely gutted. Rob wants a pond too, but I think we may wait for house #2 on that one.

Jenn: The Grill is on the patio...we might move it down, not sure.

That is really cool Stef! When we move into our house I am going to send you pics of all the rooms and have you make pretty designs. I think you missed your calling.
