You Don't Have to be a Professional Designer or Landscape Architect to Bring Your Outdoor Living Space to Life!

Decorate Your Fence, instead!

How's your fence looking these days?  Backyard Boring?  Nothing but empty space devoid of anything and everything except lawn?  Need backyard landscaping ideas?  Try decorating your fence with sun faces, birds, fish, frogs, dragonflys or Asian inspired art, country decor - perhaps old wagon wheels or an English cottage look!  

Enjoy your backyard
We're guessing a lot of people decorate and dress-up their fences (and gardens, too), so this website was created for everyone who wants to share their ideas and photographs and celebrate their outdoor living spaces. See Tim's "Fish Fence"

We're re-decorating this fence section.  Stay Tuned!
Update: 5-10-08:  The large sun face to the right has been re-painted, the fence has been "touched-up" and many black wrought iron wall decorations, plants and new lighting has been added.  The "home fence," where it all started, is being prepped for an Art Deco fence mural.  Of course, we will have plenty of photos of it all.  You don't want to miss it.  This is the only section of the website that has been updated since December 2007, and the backyard fence has been patiently waiting for us to to find our mojo once again.  

Spice up your view - spice up your life!
When you look out in the backyard and see how alive and special it llooks with outdoor wall art, garden art or just a few hanging baskets with colorful flowers spilling out, you might just feel better about where you live and your fence is definitely going to love it!  Get creative and personalize your backyard by decorating your fence.  Anything goes!

OUTDOOR LIVING - TRENDZ FOR 2008
Budget-Conscious Consumers Decorate Their Fences with Mural Art.  At DecorateYourFence.com we looked at our web site statistics report for the year and found out that more requests were made for the "Fence Murals" page than any other. Hmmm, seems our visitors are interested in seeing what fence murals are all about.  We can't say for sure that this will be a trend for 2008, but it looks like it is catching on for those of us who can't afford a brand-new fence.  Painting your own mural with projection stenciling migh be the best way to go, but there are plenty of mural artists available if you don't want to tackle the job.  

Personalized Backyard Spaces.  Its on a lot of New Year's Resolution Lists - Getting Organized.  Whether its in the home or outdoors, 2008 will be the year a lot of homeowners get busy creating their own outdoor living style.   Some folks will go "all out" with fancy fireplaces, plush seating and stereo sound systems and others will go for eco-friendly gardens, treasures found in antique, resale and junk shops to decorate their backyard spaces.  One thing for sure, the backyard is the "new room" to the home and container planters - large, medium and small - will be the focal point on the patio and. . by the fence.  

Here are a couple of undecorated, but unique fences:
