Profitable Adventure

When I first thought about decorating our outdoor spaces, I immediately thought about new furniture, pathways and all the things you see on the television programs that cost so much to redo and build. I quickly realized that these types of improvements, though they would be wonderful, are way out of our budget these days so I had to come up with another idea. Since I wanted a place to be filled with color, I thought about a planter that I had seen and liked so I went with some a lovely planters that I could place around the patio and deck and plant an assortment of blooming plants.

Though that was a great start, the planters where ground to wait high level and I wanted something else to draw the eye up. With that in mind, I found a great hanging basket that I hung up around the patio but had a problem with the deck since it is not covered. The answer came in the form of Sheppard Hooks. My husband fastened the hooks to the deck posts so I could hang more baskets on the deck. I love the fact that I spent minimal dollars and still created a great look for our outdoor spaces.
