What does your outdoor space look like? We have a small but cosy backyard, which after a little work has become our very own outdoor oasis. It still requires a little TLC here and there - for example last weekend we sanded down the table and made a new plant box out of an old discarded palette (link to tutorial below!). It's amazing what you can do with an old palette and Ryobi
tools! For those of you not familiar with the company, Ryobi specialises in cordless tools,
specifically the ONE+ System with which you can
power over 50 tools with the same battery, which is super convenient (and they're sooo easy to use). The day turned out to be really therepeutic (who would
have thought DIY could be so mindful?!) - and most importantly had so much
fun! Oh and now we have a beautiful table and plant box too! Hope you like it!

You can see a great tutorial on how to make a similar plant box here.
For now we've loaded the box with pretty heather (I love the autumn colours) but come spring, we'll be starting the new vegetable patch (inspired by the The Rurbanite)
- wish us luck!
A quick guide to where other things are from: the garden table, chairs and candle holder are from ILVA, plates and cutlery from Nordal, blanket from The Beach House.
Have a lovely day!

I have a few pallets lying around. Thanks for the inspiration! Amanda
ReplyDeleteOooo, you could make an entire series of them! So pleased with mine. Let's hope my vegetable patch will be as good!
ReplyDeleteI love Ryobi! I have a fairly small cordless Ryobi screwdriver and I put my entire Ikea kitchen together with it. It's small but it performs really well and it holds charge for like forever (ok, not forever but a really long time). I also had a chance to use a couple of other Ryobi tools (I have an awesome neighbour that has amazingly well equipped workshop and I was satisfied with them. I need a new jigsaw and I know it will be a Ryobi as well.
ReplyDeleteLovely garden, Niki!
