I hauled it home this past summer and its been propped up against the fence ever since. My cats, a few opossum and even a raccoon have all taken turns using it to climb up to the top of the fence. Happily, the opossum and the raccoon have moved on down the street--- hopefully way down. *wink* Anywho---- I painted it to look more like it was pulled off of a pirate ship so it would better fit the theme of my backyard. I added some rope to the rungs and some red fringe to the sides for an extra pop of color.
I had fun staging this area between the lagoon and the dock.... Aaaarrrrggghhh... so much better! Click on any photo to view them larger... aaaarrgggghhhh...
While I had my electric staple gun out, I also added some red fringe to a small wooden wagon. This will be where the birthday gifts go while everyone is playing games and eating. You can see in this photo below, I stenciled on some more boxes. I didn't have any "Gun powder" boxes, and everyone knows any self respected pirate has a lot of gun powder on hand... I always place a lantern by the things that are explosive... it just makes me laugh when ever I do that. I wonder if anyone else will find that funny? or even get it?....
I also stapled up some blue netting in this area of my yard where the games will be played. Across the bottom of some benches...
along the fence line...
around a barrel...
and across some boxes...

ReplyDeleteHello from Spain: I like the makeover of your staircase. Your porch is fabulous. Great job. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteThat's a great find -- and even if you hadn't said what you'd do with it, I think I already guessed!
ReplyDeleteHave said it before and will again - Your grands must love laying at your house.:D You must have great weather and no squirrels. That kind of setup would not last long here.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Paddy's Day.
