Garden Architecture
>Ever since we moved into our home, we've been adding architectural elements to give it more style and character. We've been doing the same with our yard and garden. 
We've bought and built simple structures to add character and height. They look beautiful from spring to fall surrounded by blooming vines and bushes. During the winter months when the yard and gardens are so gray and barren the structures give a charming visual interest and stand as a monuments to natures life and beauty.
A few years back we built this rose arbor using doors.
Then we added this trellis and door that leads into our vegetable garden.
Recently we used scrap wood, found next to a dumpster, to build two seven foot tall obelisks. 
Once we figured out how to cut those pointed tops (thank you internet), they were a fairly easy build.
Son #3 painted them with a mis-tint exterior paint.
We placed them in our vegetable garden. They serve as tall, fancy tomato cages.
There's only one problem---I want at least three more of these beauties!
