Acorn Cottage {Backyard: Spring}

It has been a while since I've shared the backyard of the Acorn Cottage. This post will be somewhat photo heavy, so grab your java and peruse on.




There is no secret that I love green and white in the garden. The rear of the house also features lots of green foliage interspersed with white accents. Since the yard is quite shady, I have used lots of different textured ferns to give interest. As you are aware, our front yard was professionally landscaped in a more formal way. In the backyard, I used many existing plants in a natural way. For spring I added the row of white (White Christmas) caladiums. There are also my favorite boxwoods which edge the garden and add some formality to the beds.






















New furniture mixed with old makes the yard appear to have grown naturally over time. Remember, we have lived here since September 2018.

Come to the back and relax. Sit a spell! Sip a cocktail!

Here's how the yard looked when we purchased the home in May:




Spring Backyard, y'all!

  1. It's so beautiful and lush back there! Love what you've done.

    When we are in New Orleans, we always wonder what's behind the homes. :)

  3. Wow you really transformed this space nicely! The furniture arrangement is wonderful and I like how the water feature looks like it’s been there a long time. The white caladiums are wonderful!

  4. Good morning, Ron! WOW, all I can say is WOW! That backyard has come a LONG WAY! It is so lush and green, and I love the addition of the white Christmas caladiums. I adore your outdoor furniture--it looks right at home surrounded by the lush green and white of the gardens. Hopefully, one day I'll be able to see all of it in person! Have a great day! xoxo

  5. This is gorgeous. You have done an amazing job. I love the lanterns on the fence as well as the mirror. So fun. I bet you get a lot of use out of it. That is quite a transformation in a short time.
