Lovely Landscapes

If sticks and stones will break your bones, then marvelous landscapes will hurt you. If you are anything like I am as a new homeowner, the whole "you are now a homeowner, and you have something that you never had as an apartment renter and it's called grass" thing is mind boggling. Like really, grass is everywhere.

In no time, my wonderful husband started staking out the "lawn" section of our Lowe's Home Improvement Store, and taking a mental note of our must-haves for landscaping. Now, isn't he just the sweetest, ha!

These are a few pretty amazing backyard landscaping ideas that I came across on my favorite design inspiration site houzz.com.

Some backyard landscaping ideas are more modern while others are more traditional-- but what I love most is how each space incorporates natural stones with modern outdoor furniture, love!
