I found the old photos of the garden when we first bought the house in 2005. I cringe when I look at what we fell in love with! When I would dream of my ideal home I used to say to Kristen, my daughter, I want to have a farm with lots of chickens ……Check out the chicken coop. Got rid of that pronto.
The garden was full of higgledy-piggledy plants and flowers. There was no structure and the veggie patch was stuck in the far corner and no one could access it because it was so over gown – and full of snails! Yuck! But the love was there – the chickens were fat and the plants were lush and green.

I know EXACTLY what you mean!! When I was going through all my old photos I cringed too and asked myself “why on earth did I buy this house?”. haha, but I thought it was beautiful then and I do now … but its amazing how we changed our homes – yours more than mine though. You and Hannes are so creative and talented at these things. You have really built yourselves a beautiful home … so unique! xxx
