Under pressure, a before and after.


Some time ago our dog Lulu had a Kennel makeover to celebrate her new name sign.

Well since then, it has been a cold, wet winter.

I decided that the courtyard needed a bit of sprucing up.


See, it is all looking a bit blahhh!


Out came the trusty pressure washer.
Boy was it addictive.
The fights we had over whose turn it was!


Don't the bricks look so much better.

One day I must tell you the story of those bricks. 
We collected and cleaned every single one of them.

My hands still feel the pain.


Ta da, all tidy and perfect for a cuppa on a sunny day.

Don't worry about Lulu, the kennel is snuggled in under the mulberry tree in a corner near the shed.
It's cozy at night and she gets the morning sun on her doorstep.


Aren't these amazing?


Would you believe, they are made of resin?

I think they look like the real deal.

Don't forget to pop over the Decorating forum for some great ideas.
