I've talked some big smack talk about my garden, and I've finally got a few pictures to show the world. Unfortunately, it's not nearly as impressive in the photos, so (if you can) you'll just have to come by the house and see for yourselves! And if you can't come visit, you'll just have to trust me on this one. The yard is very drought-friendly and will look great as the plants grow and fill it in over the next couple of years.
From the street - the horrible vinyl fence is blocking most of the view. We have a plan to improve on the fence, but haven't put it into action yet.

And here's the other side. Fun fact: there's 23 bags of mulch nuggets in this yard.
Hibiscus.
Here's the one interior shot that's worth showing. We're currently having our tile installed and the master bath shower turned out really nicely! Our neighbor, Darek, is a tile guy and is doing the work on our house. We decided to go for a subway tile pattern with a glass tile accent because we didn't want to shell out over $1000 on tile alone (nevermind that labor costs more, too) to do the entire thing in glass tile. The shower is double-headed and will eventually have a glass door. We decided to go with 'really big shower' instead of putting in a garden tub; our clawfoot is enough tub for one house! I think it's going to be great - I can't wait until the house is finished.

Wow! I can't believe it. Even if the pictures don't do it justice, it looks 100 times better! I love the tile!
i am so jealous of that yard. and shower for that matter. you guys did an awesome job, truly. i would love to come see it sometime.
We got an Aquadoodle for more controlled water drawing and I love it.
Having personally seen the yard, it looks fabulous, as long as Frankie does pick all the flowers off!
