  • Join me as I take you along on our pavilion makeover! I forgot to mention in the video what brand of stain I used for the black accents. It was Cabot brand, solid black stain.

      Watching Mary brings so much joy to me also. I commend you for the care you are giving to your husband. I know personally, that caregiving is hard work and sometimes you go without notice. You are a blessing to your husband. Stay strong and let things like Mary's videos give you moments of inspiration, joy and relaxation. God bless you.

    I spent the day in the hospital with my husband who was having surgery on his spine. Needless to say I was nervous... I mean, I trust God implicitly... but He doesn't mess with man's free will and it's man's judgement on whether or not to do something foolish, like mess up during a surgery, ya know? Any way, your soothing voice and beautiful pond and pavilion make over was a perfect way to pass time. Thank you for that bit of respite you provided without knowing you were answering a prayer for peace.

You have inspired me to keep working on my house. Both inside and outside. It's just me so some things are difficult as I am pushing 60. But my dad was a farmer and carpenter so he taught me a lot.

AND I have to say...i was thrilled to see you kneeling on something to protect your knees...i am 70 now and facing the replacement of my second knee...they are so precious ( I realize now)... I drew breath as I saw your tethering on the ladder (as your guardian angel must have heals it steady for you!) Please don't injure yourself!...(its such a long road to recovery)...LOVE the lovely pavilion and hope your family gets a lot of joy out of using it. Can't wait to see you videos each week! God Bless you. (The pond will be an interesting development over time too.) ...til next week...!

This is the first time I have made a comment on any video but just had to tell you that I found your 'weed eating apron' an absolute revelation. I live in Australia and have a large garden that requires frequent trimming. Popping on an apron, especially during the summer, will make this job so much easier. I will be making myself one immediately. Thank you so much for all that you share.

    Mary, you are such a hard working woman. I find it so inspirational. I know people who hire gardeners just to mow a 100 square meter garden! Thanks to you, today I got up at 6:30m (I'm a morning person also) and started clipping and cleaning my garden overgrowns. Keep posting your delightful videos. I love them😊🇵🇹

    I did hold my breath when you were on the ladder cutting the tree branches LOL. But you are such a blessing and such a gift to all of us. You have got me motivated in so many ways and I’m loving it.! God bless you Mary

    Love it! Why don't you just paint or stenccil a "rug" rather than buy one that could blow away or get wet.

      If it's outdoor it should be fine under the roof during Summer months. We used to have one at a campsite where we had our motorhome and it was outside all the time, it was some type of vinyl weave

      There are many choices for outdoor rugs. The material is called polypropylene which is a fancy word for plastic. I know they can be expensive if you need something large and the harsh sun is a major detriment. I have purchased many and I hate to say they don't last longer than 2-3 years when combined with rainwater and sun. So, I love the stencil idea, would take more time than money and you could personalize it. You are so creative and I believe that you wouldn't mind the effort. Thanks again.

    This is my favorite of all your makeovers because it is simple, well designed and not overdone - It is utilitarian and more about comfort than being cute - I am so glad you didn't feel the need to stencil something - This is not a room it's a casual outdoor space so forget the coffee table and the rug and don't overdo - Not every space has to be full of furniture and geegaws - I love it and could grab a glass of wine and sit there and read for hours.

    You have done it again, this Pavilion is AWESOME! I can’t believe how hard you work! Dragging those chairs up that hill and weedeating with that big weed eater! 👏👏👏👏🌸

    What a wonderful place for sleepovers!! How wonderful your sons can learn the art of construction from their father. What a great gift!! I so wanted to learn to use tools and lawnmowers etc from my father but he said, "Girls don't use power tools." and would not teach me. I have always regretted that. I did teach myself to refinish vintage furniture though and to paint, garden, landscape and cook. From that point on I did all the painting and staining!! I LOVE to work on furniture and to paint. So satisfying!! This a such lovely place for a quiet spot for contemplation or yoga!! I LOVE that your cat followed you there while you worked! Yes, a fresh black stain with poly mixed right in it!! I used that on my pool house and it lasted for 6-8 years. Hammock...what a great idea! I would take my family portraits right here on the pavillion!

    Actually your apron is a testimony to wisdom. Own it girl! You shine! God loves His daughters! Never apologize for anything you didn’t intentionally do wrong. You are well loved. And an example to many. To God be the glory.

    Mary everything you do is amazing. Such a wonderful transformation. It's so tranquil looking. I have those same Adirondack plastic chairs and table in my back patio. I bought the chairs from target and the table years ago from big lots.

    @barbw.7183 Před 4 lety

    It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who 'dresses for the occasion' when weeds need to be whacked and work needs to be done! The apron - and tall boots! - are perfect. And good for you to handle that gas-powered string trimmer -- instead of a battery-operated one like mine. The transformation was spectacular -- what a calm and restful spot for your whole family to enjoy! Nice job again Mary!

  • @leslikuyweski4576

    With your talent you could paint a rug on the floor, protect the painted surface with two or three coats of exterior floor varithane and not worry about dirt or moisture. Also, I just love your cats. They obviously think you are the cat's meow because they always come for a pat and a cuddle.
