Now one might think it strange wanting a name for my courtyard but i do, lol, we have had just grass out the side ranchslider as long as i have been here ,over 27 yrs, and now i have a courtyard, hubby has been cobblestoning it over the holidays, it was my belated birthday present, we were fortunate enough to be given the cobblestones from my sister, otherwise we just would never have been able to afford it.
It is small and not finished yet as you can see by the pics, there will be white pebble gardens where you see grass at the moment, and wood edging along the sides and a fence for privacy each side of the courtyard.
And as time goes on and when i can i will add little features, i have the two solar lights ,i just bought and hope to get two more and a new tropical impatient plant, a little hebe, the grass you see, is actually cat grass, however only my Nikki eats it, it has special nutrients in it for cats, and i grew it from a small baby plant .
Excuse the fence, i got half way there, it needs a good paint, or we may cover it with a bamboo type product, we shall see.
It is a dream come true for me, i have never had anywhere that is private her to sit and enjoy the summer and winter sun, and the cats just love it, they all come and sit with us when we are out there.
So i want you to put your thinking caps on and come up with a catchy name, something that is to do with my name carole and the cats, or my cottage is called stoneyhill cottage, which is after my grandfathers farm in scotland so we could go with that i guess, but anyhow your ideas would be much appreciated, i know how clever you all are , thanks.
Ps I actually have really nice comfy chairs from the original outdoor set my parents gave us, the cats have them in the shelter, lol, i decided they were going to be too hard to clean up and expensive to do, so just went and bought the plastic chairs, they are low maintenance and cheap to replace when needed, so the cats rule again lol.
