- So much of our enjoyment of our home is the outdoor spaces and we have made more changes outside in the last 3 years than we have to the interior. Gardening can be intimidating, but there is so much potential for successs and the results are often really rewarding. I have long wanted to connect the dots and show you the full outdoor tour and now it is here to become a road map for future projects we will be sharing in the future here on CADEmade.
These links are just what I used and there is no paid promotion here...

Concrete and Stone Crack Hack: Here are a couple of links to the polymer sand I used. There is a variety of them and I found the the weedstop sand is most reliable in terms of hardening in my experience so far.

You are blessed with generous parents ❤️❤️Fargo is sweet. And you are amazing!
That is so true! I definitely stay in my gratitude. Thank you much!
I was so glad to see a new video this morning- Visuals and voice narration are so calming and Fargo is a sweetheart.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
"Rocky", Freddy's brother, lived in our attic and destroyed lots of our things. We fixed the chimney grate when he was out one day and he moved on!! Great video as usual!!
Rocky… that’s great! They find the heat and gaps so easily. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
I just love that little Snowy dog Fargo but wow the garden house is gorgeous. You just have to love that retro furniture. I have a yellow set from the late 60's I think I'm going to paint it green. I grew a castor bean years ago in the high Mohave desert it was magnificent. I saved the pods and tried to grow unsuccessfully in another location. The garden tour was fabulous as usual your whimsical artistic imagination is brilliant. Keep em' coming.... I can't imagine my morning coffee without you.
Awwwwweee thank you! Love retro furniture! It has the best forms and fabrics. Thank you for the kind comment and for spending some of your time with me and my projects!
I envision a pergola over your summer stage, eventually being framed from the ground up, with an evergreen climbing ivy, some all weather LED curtain lights, a few concrete bench tops perched onto giant concrete orbs, placed on 3 sides, bird houses, and feeders scattered throughout the trees to be observed from there. You could call it "perches peak" hehe. A gentle, undisturbed, low maintenance space that can be momentarily enjoyed every season for a quick, 'i need nature' moments. Im in southern west central Indiana so i know all about how the cold, traps us indoors and away from all the roots we are grounded in!! Our souls scream for those connections to keep us going! ❤
I need to recommend a vacation spot for you :) Mendocino, California looks like what you just described!
Wonderful ideas! I’ve also had some similar visions. I love being in the garden so much. Creating a structure like that would be magical. Thank you for watching!
I love watching your channel. From Australia 🇦🇺
Hello hello! Thank you much. It’s great to share ideas an Inspiration! Have a wonderful day!
Thanks for the tour, and especially clearing up my confusion from the last video about exactly where you were on the property/ies. 😂 Please keep the Critter Corner updates coming!
I will as they happen 🐿️ 🤣. I had to clear that up it was confusing folks and me too!
No other words can describe this other than beautiful.
Thank you for keeping all animals safe ❤
Ahhhh, I’m in love with your outdoor spaces, plantings, outbuildings, power washing art, use of stone….and Fargo has the sweetest expressions! Recently found your channel and am thoroughly enjoying it! Your property is deceptively large, I had assumed it was a medium sized city lot. How about those gardening neighbors?! You are lucky to have them! Keep the videos coming, please!
Thank you! We are so great to have creative and productive neighbors truly!
Afternoon from a SUNNY UK. Love your channel
Much appreciated!
A lovely space you have created… love the outdoors furniture
Hello again😊 I love gardening and the tour of yours is so amazing. Your ideas and transformations of various areas and buildings are wonderful. You really do a great job on every project. So glad I found your channel,,! Thankyou ,Cheryl. 🌹🌿😊
So nice of you, thank you!
Thanks for sharing! Such a wonderful transformation…quite inspiring.
I love your outdoor spaces. You definitely have a knack for decorating and designing. I also love the way you reuse, repurpose and make do with what you have. It looks as though you spend lots of money but in reality you you are spending very little. All the little separate spaces are so cool. It seems like they are all in different yards but they are all one place. You do a really good job. Love it. I thoroughly enjoyed the video! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! It’s amazing to have them all. I do try to budget build our life because that’s the only way we can move forward in any pace. There are so many better ideas I come up with when using salvage and reuse items.
Always love reading your comments it’s like getting a hug. ☺️
@@CADEmadeawww you made my day!! Love you!
Hello, I'm watching your video for a rest. I've been out in the garden all day and I'm exhausted - shifting 250 years of buried rubble. I was expecting to unearth a skeleton or something. Your garden looks fantastic and it reflects your quirky side! Green can be tricky to work with but you've made it your own.
Omg, you have outdone yourself with the garden house. The idea of polycarbonate material on the garden house, which I love, and will be doing to transform my building!!!
Awesome! It’s really made a difference.
Your entire outdoor space is beautiful, but Oooo! That garden house is absolutely fabulous! Also, thanks for the tip on spray painting the screens flat black! And now I'm buying a ton of pea gravel and EZ Sand for my concrete spaces that need a little love.
So happy you found the projects useful for your spaces. All I try to do is inspire affordable improvements. Have a beautiful day! Thanks so much for watching!
I love the beauty and peace you’ve brought to your yard with your own personal touches ❤. I live in Yucaipa CA not far from where we had the huge fire about 2-3 years ago. Close to the mountains and lots of critters, I am a huge animal lover and ❤ that you respect their space. We are also on a journey of fixing up our house have only been here for a year things just don’t move as fast as we get older 😂. Anyway, thank you for listening to my ramble and sharing your space with us. I love it.
Thank you for the nice comment and best to you in your renovation journey! Thank you for sharing.
More than likely, "Freddy" is actually a "Fredricka" looking for a nice warm place to give birth. If that's so, you not only kept her from using this space for this litter, but thwarted her from coming back again next year. I'm surprised your goldfish are still around...our neighbor's koi got eaten by the raccoons in our area. Your outdoor spaces are fantastic.
Good point! Oh my! Well I was very happy to not see any more than 1! Amazingly yes the little fish are around…. Well most of them.
Love what u did...yr garage conversion is AMAZING...so glad u didnt keep the red paint on the floor....looks so peaceful!
Your garden and yard looks fabulous.
You are so imaginative and game to try different products.
Living in the antipodes we have an array of wildlife parading at night so have learned to just live with them😄
Bless you for caring and not killing❤
Lol! You named him freddy! maybe you turn the stage into a sanctuary for the critters😂
Lol that would be funny
So nice and romantic,so much to discover in every corner😃
Beautiful house and garden , will be watching how things change over time a garden is never finished its a passion of mine two. 😊
Very much an evolutional process! It’s my favorite calming thing to do and I enjoy the way plants can paint a garden differently each year. Welcome aboard, I’ll be back soon for sure! Thank you!
I love your home and all of your amazing creativity your home has a beautiful energy
Great video. Love the porch. Nice privacy too. Enjoy the day.
Thank you! You too. 😃
❤ So found your channel a few weeks ago. Have loved your DIY’s!!!! So inventive and inspiring for me. I mean what a neighbor you’d be. ❤
Loved the garage transformation, the potting shed ( I knew it become a potting shed!) 😅
But your voice, commentating your video is so good! Love to hear it! Was so happy when I saw your new vlog out! 🙌🏽
Thank you! Came into my sewing room and saw it, to get crafty and thank you! Please make some more videos! I mean you have more to offer. What about the tiny tree house getaway?
Thank you for hanging out! I’m really enjoying making them after a couple of years of learning to edit and that side of it all. It’s getting easier and easier. The projects are the super fun part for me generally! Tree house getaway sounds like a great time.
I love it all!!! So inspiring 🥰
OMG.....You guys have a 'stoop pooch' too!! Fargo is a goodest boy! We have a mastador named Gilbert and he absolutely must lay at the thresholds and stoops of all entryways! I think he has the guardian dna coding. Hes a goodest boy too, weighing in at 75lbs.
Awwww Gilbert! What a great name. We love our Fargo boy he makes sure we are safe and guarded at all times. Have a beautiful day!
Love the garden room and that coleus is a beauty
So Amazing to have the old gardens ❤ what a great find on the green retro furniture . Love love love the garden house 😍Your yard is massive , potting shed ❤and the cool hill 😮 and all the cute Critters ❤😍 Thank you for letting them live 🙏🏻♥️ I too love animals and deal with the possum raiding my bird feeders … it’s ok I understand they have to eat too❤ Love love love your outside space ❤
Thanks so much!
Your gardens are so pretty, exactly what I would like in my yard. I'm so jealous of all your rocks. I live in Florida, you have to buy them here & they're expensive, sold by the pound. When I lived in Michigan, you could just go down to the rivers or woods and get them, free.
I so.....could take a quality nap in the garden house. Great idea to enclose the windows, works perfectly.
It was nice to know more of the history of the property and you have access to the neighbors yard & gardens.
The outdoor shower, 1st I knew about it. Why is there no video of how it was designed and built?
It will be coming shortly?
This was such a nice video, very calming to watch.
Thank you so much! When I made it I didn’t feel like filming because it felt a little cheep… but once it was in I really think it’s a smart easily adjustable solution. I’m going to do a longer explanation in the future when I work on the rock walls surrounding it. Thank you!
Use the „summer stage“ literally. We do the same thing having poetry and karaoke nights on our garden stage. It’s so cool.
How nice! And yes we will for sure!
Thank you for the explanation of the two properties. That's awesome how that worked out. :) Beautiful spaces. So well done. I enjoyed this video. :)
Thank you! Absolutely happy to clear things up. It made sense to do so. I loved making this video. ☺️
Thanks for saving Freddy instead of letting him be killed
Totally! Lil buddy is so cute
Love it all!
I love, love, love your esthetic....so happy I found your channel.❤
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for the tour! I love all of your spaces!!!
What an enchanting garden! Perhaps a large DIY kinetic sculpture for that deck area. Whatever you decide, it's bound to be fantastic.
I’ve long wanted to make more art for the outdoors spaces. That’s a great idea. Thank you!
Love ur space and creativity! Got to say ,As an animal lover I think all creatures are super cute, but raccoons can be quite destructive & aggressive. I had one that was trying to make its way into my attic as well, but I did a little research and found out that they don’t like noise or light… so when I would hear him, I would run outside get my big super Duper flashlight and just aim it right at him ,And he took off. Did that a couple of times and never saw him again .My suggestion to this problem is if your raccoon returns maybe put some kind of a sensor spotlight in that area to scare him/ her away. Good luck to you and again your place is looking beautiful. I Enjoy your channel.❤️
Wow that’s an enlightening suggestion I really appreciate that! I will out that in my tool kit for those little critters. I’m afraid of seeing the destruction in the attic 😐. I’m hoping it’s not too bad. Thank you for watching!
The place looks amazing. I would consider doing a sunken area where the fire pit is. You could always setup a space in the backyard for critters like Freddy since you made him homeless :(
Wow that’s a cool idea! I actually really want to make some cool changes over there next year which I hope to share. I putting that in my notes.
I know… I wish we could find a way to help them out more, but we have to let the nature be nature. Have a great day!
Look forward to seeing future transformations. All the best :)@@CADEmade
I had an issue with opossums and armadillos and I invested in a trap. I was fortunate to find a two trap deal for only $15. I set it up with no food to lure them in. The next day I trapped an opossum. A few days later, an armadillo - twice! The hard part: relocating them. I'm a girl so... :). I paid a homeless man that did work for me on occasion and he relocated them. Try it! They're great diggers, can ruing your foundation.
Wow that’s great! I think I’ll do that if they start trying to get into our places again. Smart move on the relocation. Be so well!
You have the greatest taste! Good eye! I would love neighbors like you! Beautiful
Thank you so much! 😊
Wanted to make a separate comment about your critters. Love love love them. Quite a few at my cottage in da hood.
I unknowingly allowed them entry into my home after my little pup died. I didn't slide down the solid closure over our small doggie door and one day found poop in the washing machine (I keep the lid up so it airs dry).
Didn't realize the source until a few days later walked down the hall to find a baby possum traipsing across the dryer onto the washing machine. Hard to tell who was more frightened - him or me.
He cooperated nicely as I gently herded him out the door with a broom and have since taped shut the dog door hatch since my newly acquired cat figured out how to push it up and escape 😆
Oh my gosh that’s wild!!! I bet it was such a sight!!! We have contemplated a kitty door but fear the same fate. The critters are entertaining and keep us wondering where they live… lol
but it never happened as long as I had a pet in the house. They would chase the critters away @@CADEmade
Greetings from California 😊✌️🕊️🌻🌼🌴Ohio is so pretty and 💚 green! Must be all that wonderful rain you get!!! I love love love videos Cade am learning so much! We have also had many encounters with wildlife here... Racoon family under house, possums(so sweet!) Rats, and lots of squirrels (my nemesis!) I've heard that possums eat ticks?! Don't have em here(on our property TG) but that's so good Yes! You answered my ? About swirrley patio, I would've never guessed!!! I too LOVE Gustave Klimt YOU are SOOOOOOOOOO BRILLIANT!!!!Thank you for sharing! You are Blessed with wonderful neighbors love their wall color & your potting cottage is brimming with colorful blooms WOW...Sigh .. Look forward to seeing that MASTERPIECE! BRIGHT BLESSINGS From California 💚🌴🌼🌻🕊️✌️🐛🦋☺️🧡🪴🍀🪄🧹🌲
Thank you so much for sharing!!! All the the critters can be so much but it’s a lot of fun working around them. I think possums do eat ticks and we don’t have money here but they’re coming up north as it gets warmer and more often. I’m currently working on doing the spirals on the sidewalk in front of our house and it looks pretty cool, you’re so kind. Thank you so much for sharing and be so well. 😊
Hi again Cade - more spectacular work, love the front repair, all your lovely plants! I might have to try that Castor bean plant. Best wishes to you and your partner, and pup! LGIT, lib grandma in Texas😊❤
Thank you and hello hello! Those castor beans are so cool and plentiful!
I really have enjoyed your site
Thank you!
I love all your videos, so many great ideas!!! AWESOME WORK!!! THANKS FOR SHARING...
Thanks so much! 😊
You can make a possum house in a raccoon house. You should encourage them living around the house because they eat mice and rats. Also, I noticed on one of your films a bat went by consider a bat house too.
We do have bats for sure. A bay house would be cool. Thanks for the suggestion. We are so okay with them around but obviously want to keep them out of the houses. Otherwise they’re all good for us.
PS I've used the e-z sand on my flagstone in my courtyard it works well. Stability, weeds, general aesthetics.
Totally. It’s a feel good thing.
You have impeccable taste you are a true inspiration for those of house that have a lot to do!
That’s so nice to say! I’ve been contemplating my “design style” but it seems to be combining things so that there is continuity and flow.
@@CADEmade it’s original eclectic interesting. Can’t wait to see what’s ahead for you!
Good Morning Cade* I really enjoyed this video so much. Your outdoor space is Paradise* Much larger then I thought. I love all of the spaces. Its so fun when you have so many different places to sit right. I love it. I was going to ask if you had raccoons bother your fish but it doesn't look like it. We have all those critters also and the raccoons here eat our pond fish. Thanks for sharing your amazing gardens Cade
deezie
Hey there. Yes sitting is apparently popular around here when we get it. The buddies are so cute and leave the fish alone, mostly. We think there was a breach during the cold snap last winter. Always enjoy reading your comments and continued support. Hope all is well!
Such beautiful spaces! Well done!
Thank you! Cheers!
Have you thought about adding insulation to the walls and ceiling, with a small heater you could definitely use the space through the fall and winter
That a totally good idea and I’ve thought of it. I think it may depend on some future ideas we have, but it’s definitely an option! Thanks for watching!
So much to see, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
Fargo is so cute 💟
Best buddy 🐕!
I just found you, this deck and the paint color are beautiful!
Oh thank you!
I wasn't sure if I was going to watch the whole video. YT offered this to me since I watch some gardening videos, and I'm so damn glad they did.
What kept me engaged was seeing you rip out all the vines. I hate losing profuse, verdant vining plants and I couldn't imagine why you were doing it. Clematis doesn't grown in my steamy hot zone, so I didn't know it would come back. I had to keep watching to see if you'd explain why you did it. LOL - cliff hanger. I'm so glad I did.
I subscribed, and am now going to watch the concrete sphere video because I want some of those in the worst way. All my bowling balls have cracked and need a replacement. I hope you're using quik-crete cuz that's all I feel confident messing with.
I’m so happy you enjoyed the video! I appreciate you watching the whole video. I’ve also tried concrete on the bowling balls but it was a diy fail. I like the blown glass seeing balls for the garden, but have had them shatter. The concrete spheres have all stood the test of time and is a fun project. I recommend the larger sizes as they are more impactful and sometimes the small
Ones just look like stones. Enjoy the project!
I still have a few glazing globes. I place them in large planters, now, rather than on stands that critters can knock over. And since I watched the video, I've made two concrete balls. thank you so much
@@CADEmade
U R a Brilliant Creative!!
That’s so very kind, thank you!
** Darling.. Oh I could listen to your voice all day.. so calming and beautiful. oxox.. wanted to share 'old fashioned screen-storm window' styles. 'Back in the day' they used wooden frames.. beautiful wooden frames.. and changed them out each season.. One had screen on it and one had 'glass' (before plastics were invented). they would hang on the windows and door at the top and a little wingnut on each side, would hold it in place (or can be attached with screws). These wooden frames can be a plain as you like or ornate as you like. Use a little weather stripping (not caulk, just stripping). with the age of your home they would fit is absolutely perfectly and look so amazing. they sell the doors at 'big box hardware stores' but they are pricey but you can look them up and get the idea. I just put one on my front storm door. it changed the look immediately and I can't stop looking at it. bc it's a storm door, I attached it permanently and just remove the existing window for the summer and will replace it for the winter.. I can't tell you how beautiful my front door looks from the street. I almost cry as it is so perfect and I love it. Oh, an example would be your ornate doors that you have on the outdoor garden shed. imagine them as if they were the size of a window in your home, and you added loops ontop and hung them on the outside of the window to make it a screen for the window. right on your house.. how fancy and beautiful would that be. and would have the same with the poly on it to swap out for the winter.. but I am thinking for the garden shed and maybe less ornate as they garden shed doors claim that right of passage in the beautiful fancy arena.. But I hope it gives you and idea of how to make the windows changeable for the seasons in a beautiful way. I love your garden shed.. I could see myself chilling in there and loving it. :))
Those are great ideas! We actually have many of the old changeable screens from the original basement windows. I love the idea of a more permanent seasonal solution. Thank you for the lovely feedback and ideas they’re totally on the same page. It would look like perfect. Really appreciate it!
You’re going to need a bigger pond, those goldfish are going to get bigger, so consider putting in a water lily pond somewhere.
I can’t agree more. I’ve been trying to convince myself to make the bigger pond I’ve wanted. Maybe we have another project for spring!?! Thanks for the reminder.
Hi Cade. I love castor bean plants but they are deadly for dogs. If your dog eats any part of the plant including the beans he may die.I had one in my yard and my friend took several beans inside to save and plant later. Her dog ate a tiny bit and spent over a week at the emergency vet. It was a miracle she survived since the vet said there was no known cure. I ripped out the plant immediately. Now I check to see if a plant is toxic before I put it in the areas my dogs go in.
That’s a great suggestion! Thank you. Luckily mr Fargo 🐕 like treats and no plants 😉. A lot of plants seems to be poisonous I’ve learned.
Your place is amazing!! I love it! I know what ever you do in the future will also be incredible. How did you learn how to do all of these things? Your so fortunate to have such great skills
Thank you! I learned over time but also come from thrifty diy family, which I am so grateful.
** Sounds crazy, but I had the same problem with little fury friends and when I got my dog, everyday he went all around the yard and 'marked' his presence and what that does is 'claim' the space.. I didn't know that is what he was doing at the time, but I noticed the fury friends stopped coming in our yard. Like literally nothing came in our yard. I found out later it was because he was marking his territory.. it's an animal communication thing and it's real.. so if anyone of your friends have a male dog they can bring over, he can start marking it. or as in the movie 'Dancing with Wolves' (Kevin Costner) He had a wild wolf coming into his camp and finally he 'marked all around his camp and it kept the wolf outside the line.. Every day the wolf would still come but respected the area Kevin Costner 'marked' or 'claimed'. He didn't cross that line.. So there is that for what it is worth. Find a way to claim your space.. It's natural and won't kill any little animals.
I loved that movie but forgot that part, thank for the reminder. Between our kitty and Fargo I thought we would be ok. Apparently they become friends or something…. Thank you for sharing and take care.
How did you do the swirls on the cement back patio? Oops didn't wait till end of video before asking. Lol
Lol. 🌀
How did you get the spiral designs in the driveway to stay after power washing, love them!!!
It’s honestly just the algae and moss growing which makes the darker areas. More so than fade, they’ll just get more adapted to the darkened cement over time. So glad you like them, I’ve done it for friends as well and they love it too! It’s really nice for large patio areas that need a little Interest. Thank you much for the thoughtful comments! Have a great one.
I LOVE YOUR HOME !! I live in Southern California and looking for a place to move to . How friendly is this area?
I love it here very much! It’s very historic and inexpensive to live here. The fact that so many plants work here is also amazing. The people are generally friendly!
@@CADEmade would you mind sharing a neighboring city ? I want to check the price range in houses .
Just beautiful!
What state do you live in?
Southern Ohio
Do you own both of those houses?
He explains everything in the beginning. I was so glad to finally understand the houses on both sides situation
Me too lol.
Hold the phone!!! I am in Central Ohio! I thought you were in California or something????
Awesome! I love that vibe. A friend mentioned that it feels like a home in Los Feliz… perhaps that called it
I would not want to live there with all the animals.
🙄
🥰 CAN I HAVE YOU FOR A WEEKEND 🥰
