In Episode 19, we’re getting into some of the finer details of our home renovation as we test the very first prototypes of our bespoke kitchen handles with Armac Martin!

From the proportions and finishes to how they actually feel in your hand, I’m taking you along to show you the design process and just how much thought goes into creating something completely bespoke. It’s amazing how even the smallest details can make such a difference to the finished kitchen!

We’re also back on site, where Kevin has decided to get rather creative with the floor protection to help us work out the perfect size and placement for our artwork! I’m beginning to wonder whether Mr P is becoming an interior designer himself…

There’s still a very long way to go, and plenty of decisions, challenges and undoubtedly a few mistakes ahead, but I’m so excited to take you along for the entire journey as we turn this house into our family home.

Grandpa Maxi turned a plain backyard fence line into a beautiful curved garden bed! 🌿🌸

In this backyard makeover, we start with a simple grass area beside the wooden privacy fence and transform it into a clean, premium landscape border with river rocks, mulch, shrubs, flowers, and a smooth curved design.

The build starts by inspecting the fence line and measuring the future garden bed layout. Grandpa Maxi marks a graceful curved shape beside the lawn, then uses an edging spade to cut the sod cleanly along the marked lines. After removing the grass, the bed is lightly excavated and shaped to create a smooth planting area and a separate narrow channel for the river rock border.

Next, black landscape edging is installed along both curves to keep the lawn, river rocks, and planting bed separated. A weed barrier is placed inside the rock strip, then light gray river rocks are poured, spread, leveled, and cleaned to create a crisp border beside the lawn.

After the rock border is complete, rich dark planting soil is added and leveled across the main garden bed. The main plants are laid out first, including round boxwood shrubs, a medium green shrub, a burgundy accent plant, and a small ornamental tree near the back. Then silver foliage, ornamental grasses, bright pink flowers, white flowers, and small red flowers are planted throughout the bed to create a full, colorful, layered landscape design.

To finish the project, dark brown mulch is spread neatly around all the plants, the edges are cleaned, and the entire bed is watered for a fresh final look. The result is a clean curved backyard garden border that completely upgrades the fence line.
