My husband has been quite busy lately building projects for our house.
My hubby built a beautiful garden side gate for our yard.
My hubby built a beautiful garden side gate for our yard.
He had some left-over lattice, so he thought of a design using it. I love how it looks.
We stained it a redwood color and added some Kokopelli's, which means Gods of music and rebirth.
Being the Supervisor, I always tell him to take it up a notch!
I think adding the arbor top piece makes a statement.
We bought some stain and black gate hardware.
He thought of adding the
Kokopelli's.

We happened to have two sets already of these music Gods on our back gate. Now, he wants to build another gate for the back.
Below is our front entrance gate. We are thinking of getting a solid wood arched gate.
Thank you Kathy from Creative Home Expressions and Lisa Lynn @ The Self Sufficient Homemaker for featuring my Elegant box this week.
The kitchen is still waiting for the final layout design.
We should have it wrapped it up this week and proceed.
I am ready to make this happen.
I am sharing this picture of the Barley Twist.

This picture below shows the Barley twist again. I wish our ceilings were this high.
These photos are not my kitchen, just pictures of things I like.

I do like this Barley twist for the range pop-out and pull-out spice racks on each side. I wouldn't want all of the Barley twists on the upper cabinets. I think it's too much. Probably flutes and decorative pieces. The crown moulding will go in and out.
I just found out our dishwasher does take an appliance panel, so all of our appliances, except the Wolf gas range will have cabinets panels.
I am feeling better each day. Such a relief to not see any doctors for awhile. I do want to proceed with the thyroid cancer, so I can enjoy the holidays and start the new year with a clean bill of health.

I just showed your garden gate photos to my husband and he said, "Hmmm." That's a compliment, by the way. Mine is, "Beautiful!" I just love garden gates, having to open one to see what's beyond it.
ReplyDeleteLove the gate, Linda! You and hubby work well together! : ) Beautiful kitchen!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up to The Creative Home & Garden hop!

I always enjoy seeing your lovely home! Cheers to your GOOD health!!
ReplyDeleteOh that gate is fantastic! What a wonderful job you two did on it!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda! I'm so thrilled to hear you're feeling better - you're still in my prayers. Now that gate is amazing! Your hubby is so very talented. It's gorgeous and I love the little metal pieces and the top! Oh, that just finishes it up so nicely. Your front gate is pretty too and I think I see a little Schnauzer peeping through and Schnauzer metal pieces on the gates? I love it!
ReplyDeleteTake care and you're always a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Hi, Linda! Thank you for following my blog and thank you for your kind comment. Your kitchen project sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job with the gate, Linda, and the box. And, of course, I am so happy with your progress, and still sending you love and prayers. xo
ReplyDeleteLove the gate Linda. I guess hubby has been quite busy! I like the Kokopelli figures. The arched wood gate may be a nice touch! Those barely twist pieces are awesome. What a beautiful kitchen it will be!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're feeling better! Hugs, Liz
Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteI like the Kokopelli's and the arbor top piece is perfect. Your kitchen is gorgeous and I love all the details. Your spice racks and molding are wonderful touches. It feels great to have this project with all you've been through :) House projects are totally consuming and it feels great to get it done. What a feeling of accomplishment!
The work he did is great.love unique pieces..you are really into a lot of projects:-)
ReplyDeleteAnd they are all looking wonderful
very cute!!!! Hope you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteLinda! Your husband is too sweet {and handy}. I would've never thought to add the top to it, but that's what makes it stand out beautifully. Glad you are feeling better and no doctors for awhile! Woo hoo!
ReplyDeleteXOXO,
Meredith
I LOVE YOUR HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLinda, that gate is fabulous! Aren't are husbands just the best to build us things? For me, it all started with my father building me a playhouse, but I'm talking about stucco and real roofing....then my husband has built shutters, gates, benches, overhangs for the doors....our men are great.
The hood over your stove, the flooring, EVERYTHING is lush and perfect. I hope you are happy with the results! And we are thrilled that you are feeling better my dear. HUGS and ENJOY YOUR DAY! Anita
Your hubby did a great job on the gate....just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the gate, my friend! You can`t beat the richness of that redwood colour - just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI`m so glad you`re feeling better, Wonder Woman. Talk to you soon.
Much love and hugs,
Robyn

How wonderful to have a husband capable of building such fantastic things. That garden gate is nothing short of gorgeous!

What a gifted husband you have! The gate is a piece of art. Your other gate is gorgeous too and I love the stonework on your fence and house, but a wooden one would be beautiful too! Can't wait to see the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteHope you will be feeling better by Christmas and New Years. You have such a great attitude and that helps so much! Hugs from far away!
This Gate is a Happiness Inducing Piece. You'll want to dance everytime you see it.
ReplyDeleteBe thankful of Luckiest Man and dance a waltz in the garden with him. In the monlight. Your garden DEMANDS it!
Enjoy,
Teresa

ReplyDeleteHey, Linda, what brand and color of stain did you use on the gate?
ReplyDeleteHi Greg, the gate was stained with BEHR wood stain in the "Redwood" color. You can find it at Home Depot.
DeleteLOVE the garden gate! I have 2 real Kokapellis stored away. I decorated in southwestern style for a few years and collected some nice things. I have kept some of it. I think the arbor on top is perfect! Isn't it nice to have a handy hubby? I do too!
