Enjoyed this one - and really like the "pending" sign - but I really enjoy a tour that inspires me because of the ideas I might be able to use. That big workshop and that cute garden shed aren't in the realm of possibility for me.

I find gardens like this somewhat overwhelming/depressing since I have no hope space wise of $ wise to recreate anything of the sort, so I have to be happy with a much more modest space. I may steal the 'pending' idea, it is better than 'weeds'. There, does that help?
