I told you all about the “sanctuary” I had envisioned for my backyard. I’m someone that loves Mother Nature, and loves her space to meditate. Usually that means outside of the house and closer to anything nature.
In suburbia, finding nature is difficult. My neighbors have a beautiful tree that seems to love coming over into our yard – thankfully. It was in that corner of my yard I planned out my sanctuary.
I thought I’d show you thusfar where we are at with this endeavor.
These are in order and the only things left are the roof, painting and the interior. But here she is:
The Corner Before Work Began
Deck for Flooring Set
Deck Flooring
Framing Up
Framing Up - Closer
Some Siding Up
Almost Done!
The funky tarp over the top is simply because it’s been raining. What you probobly cannot see at all is that inside there is a candle chandelier, a cozy wicker chair, candles and insence burner.
The front will have drapes to close off the doorway. I do work in a dark environment. Work on me that is. I do my meditation by candlelight. The tree does hang over so I get to get the vibe from my friend Mr. Tree.
Inside the feeling is absolutely wonderful.
I have yet to plant most of the plants around it, as I have to paint – this weekend? And dig next to it for a fountain.

What a great little retreat! I can picture it with plants all around and a gurgling fountain. Very peaceful.
I so could see relaxing in there and reading, maybe even writing. Love it.
