  • @usmcholmans

    I like many of the ideas. Instead of adding the long piece of wood jutting out from the bench, I might have used industrial strength Velcro or heavy duty Command strips to try anchoring the trellis. Perhaps it could have been anchored enough by pushing it back flush against the back wall corner? It would still be prettily displayed that way. I might even consider making another side & back trellis pieces to match and they might take added outdoor lights.
    That plant attached isn't what I'd choose for my space, but to each her own.
    Thanks for these ideas - I have some similar pieces that just might work for my small patio. I appreciate your videos! 💞
