Use Mirrors to Enhance Backyard
Gardens
If you have a garden in the backyard,
you can use mirrors to make that garden
seem larger. Alternatively, if you don’t
have a garden, mirrors will make the
garden in the front yard stretch to the
back yard. You can fashion mirrors from
old windows which you can pick up at
yard sales or flea markets for a couple of
dollars each. Then just clean and paint
them if you want and add the mirror
sections. These are great for adding
greenery where you may not have room
to actually plant.
Build Your Own Backyard Pizza
Oven
A pizza oven in the backyard? Yes,
please! Imagine having a pizza oven just
outside, one that you can use during the
hot summer months so that you don’t
have to bake those pizzas inside and
heat up the house. This is a really simple
project considering that you end up with
an authentic pizza oven. What a great
way to increase your backyard appeal
and have the perfect place for making
delicious pizzas at the same time. It does
take a few materials but you may have
most of them on hand already and if not,
they’re really not that expensive to pur-
chase. And did we mention that you end
up with a pizza oven in the backyard?
