its hard to see the detail in the photo, but the bottom part on each side are 2 left over sheets of white faux cedar shake shingles, giving it a little more texture and changing things up a bit. We had just 2 pieces left over so it worked here perfectly to be able to use them up in a creative way.

Very nice. And I’m also a fan of your laundry room floor! That’s also quite a collection of mops and brooms in that rack ;-)

Thanks all ... we cut the 25 years worth of ivy growth off the house exterior and gate den walls and dug it and invasive morning glory and Bermuda grass out of the grounds, got rid of some dead-ugly trees and planted olive trees and natives.. we also had the house and re-stuccoed and replaced windows and sliders ..it’s been a long three years as we did a lot of the landscaping ourselves

Roses, (probably knockout), rose of Sharon, lilacs. chrysanthemum, Sedum. etc.
