The Garden Wall project I did got a little attention, and one of my recent comments was from someone else with a thing for dirt and cinder blocks.
Meet Meg over at Grow and Resist! She started one fine morning with this out in her garden. There's just nothing like looking like a construction site.
She had big plans, oh yes! And quite frankly, a lot more work ahead of her than I did.
I should add that Meg actually used mortar in her project, and her blocks are stacked traditionally.
However, Meg had a couple of very non-traditional cards up her sleeve!
Yeah, you're considering it now, aren't you?
I know, me too!
How wild could you go with this idea?
For full instructions, make the hop to Grow and Resist. The girl has some great tips on everything from raising chickens to making a potato tower, which I'm going to try, because my last attempt at potatoes was a FAIL.
Oh, and because I happen to have the scrap wood for it, ya know?
That's incredible. Love the painted cinderblocks. What a pretty garden. I don't have the yard for it but I like it!

Heather ready for this...they aren't painted, they're MOSAIC!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, how cool! My jaw seriously dropped throughout this whole post. That turned out superb! Wow, I don't think I ever woulda thought of that. I can't wait to try mosaics on something... I've heard, and it looks, like so much fun! Perhaps later this summer.... the bar in the basement does need a new countertop... hmm... :)
