Busy with life right now

I can not believe I have not blogged properly in so long , I hope my former content keeps new readers busy , I am having a lull , its March break so I have a house full of kids , I do not have any projects currently on the go , this is the curse of having a nearly finished house , what is there to do but live , right?
Great for life but not for blogging , do I move then ????? do I start re-doing perfectly good rooms , no I can't do that , what I am doing nearly full time is outdoors planning , a pergola , a BBQ structure , a tall privacy wall and twin sheds , I have grand plans , a permanent pool is out of the question , the cons well out weight the pros , I am thinking of a large lower terrace for seating and fires and raised brick planters , I can not longer ignore the fact that I have two male dogs who love to pee on everything , raised planters , why didn't I think if that before? I think I may be able to make this work. {image from Velvet and Linen}

Isn't this is beautiful image , I know it is just lovely , why aren't there shops like this around me?
