As a couple, Leo and I have never owned a bed…so, it might be just about time.  Here are a few options I like.  The above is from Crate and Barrel ($1,599.00).

I love nailhead details, and I’ve been admiring this bed for a long time, also from Crate and Barrel ($1,599.00).

Loving these and I’ve always loved these slider chairs.

After a ton of research we have finally decided on a fence.  We will be going with this cedar style with pressure treated posts.

After a full week of rain, our roof sprung a leak.  It turns out our roof is in terrible shape, and we are going to have to fix the whole back end of it.  But, being an optimist, I’m thinking it might be the perfect time to put in that roof deck we’ve been dreaming about.  It would be so great to have a perfect view of center city! I’ll be posting images that I find as I pull together my inspiration pics.  I love the image above with the umbrella and hammock, I could really spend some time in there!

I spotted this pic over at Style Carrot.  I love the comfy couches and all the potted plants.

I love all these minimal rooms.  We have been on the hunt for a bed for a while now, and I love the simplicity of all of these shots.

Here is the layout of our yard…

I love the minimal look of these modular spaces.

This shed is a bit too ‘country’ for me, but I love the idea of making a shed which can act as a cold-house for plants during the winter, and it can double as a tool shed.  I’d love to make a modern version of this with corrugated tin and re-purposed old paned windows.

While searching around on the internet, I cam across these adorable eco-friendly dog houses.

I found this one on ebay, I love the simplicity of it.

There is something that I love about a classic outhouse.  On the farm that I grew up on, we used ours as a pool shed.

I’m a huge fan of ornamental grasses.  I found these designs which are really helpful for getting good variation in hight which is going to be crucial for our urban garden.

And another…

And some more illustrations…

We are getting ready to start planning out our garden layout, so we will be ready when spring rolls around.  I’ve taken some pictures of the different view points of our yard.  Above is a view from 2nd floor.

View of old factory from 3rd floor.

View of grocer’s alley from patio.  As a reminder of what we first started with, here is a shot of when we went through for our home inspection.
