Just one opinion on the pad colors . The light color pads draws your eye to the air conditioner, the dark pads draw your eyes to the beautiful stone floor.
The darker cushion goes beautifully with the covers your Mom gave you and it will hide dust and dirt much better than the white. It’s more calming and tranquil than the white too.
I love your plantings and especially your fig!!!! Holy cow, I have never seen one anywhere in St George, Utah! I did buy a Meyer Lemon and a key Limelight. My daughter was here from GA and and we had fun going all over the place looking for things I could carry into the house, durning the winter. I will be 75 this Wednesday and I hope I can continue to haul these plants in and out. For the last 2 years, we have had horrible wind, bad enough to strip leaves of my large Shade trees, praying it calms down and does not destroy my little new trees. Everything is coming along with all your spring planting etc. Much love and blessings!!!!
Greetings, Laura and Aaron, from Windermere, Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 I'm watching and doing odds jobs and sipping coffee and 👁👁 I eyeballed the boxes. I was going to mention saving them for ground cover and mulch and you beat me to it!👩🌾👍I'm 72, a 50+ year gardener and I love No-dig gardening and Permaculture. And I love watching you adopt some of those practices. BTW, I love the chairs and 50% off was a sign from Heaven 👩🌾👍 Happy Gardening Everyone 👩🌾 👍
I think what you’re feeling about the “ porch” area is it looks very southern, like out of Southern Living Magazine. Of course living in the south, I love it! What can I say about the Hartley coming together that someone hasn’t already been said…yay…it’s exciting…I’m so very happy for y’all…truly I am!🥳🪴⭐️
I don’t think I’ve ever noticed palms in any of your garden. I know you likely have some but I’ve just never seen a palm in your garden space. They look fantastic in the pots and honestly, as an Aussie who has several in my own garden… I love palms. Instant relaxing vibes. ☀️🌴☀️
the darker cushions are a perfect compliment to your gorgeous floors. They have a natural look. The white cushions have an "off the rack" vibe , they sort of look out of place.
My vote is for the darker cushions. 🪑They go better with the pillow covers your Mom got for you. Plus, you won't have to worry about them showing the dirt as much as the other ones.
I agree about keeping the darker seat cushions. Those covers are similar to a throw pillow’s cover because they’re supposed to be smaller than the cushion/insert itself to add more fluff but I do think since they’re seat cushions that they’ll flatten down over time.
The darker cushion cover looks better and goes well with the gorgeous pillows your mom got for you. I can never afford the Hartley but I’m just contented and satisfied watching you enjoying it.
The chairs are beautiful. The white cushions would be fantastic. The Hartley is going to bring all of you so much joy. Thank you for letting us join you on your wonderful journey.
The window boxes turned out really pretty but let’s talk about the Hartley! Those chairs are perfect and the cushion covers your mom gave you are beautiful. They make a regal statement which is perfect for the Hartley ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Gorgeous!
My vote is the darker pads, they look better with your mom's pillow covers, which are amazingly perfect for the Hartley!! Someone else said it, and I agree, just magical!!
The window boxes could not be more beautiful & the urns by the front door complete the look. May try to replicate your plant choices. Just gorgeous! You have an incredible eye for design.😊👏
I think it going to be beautiful. Speaking on the cushions, I really think the darker ones 👀 better. It blends with the floor and those gorgeous pillows from your mom.
Love the window boxes .....and the shorter videos. All your videos are terrific but it's easier for me to view the shorter ones some days. The chairs look great in the Hartley. You have a knack when it comes to flower arranging, decorating, planting pots etc..you have so many talents. Aaron and you make a great team.
Anyone else notice the porch light flickering? 🤔 I am excited right along with you for the Hartley! It’s so satisfying to finally start seeing a vision come to life!
Between the palm trees, coral impatiens, ferns, Hartley wicker chairs and crested pillows, you are starting to get a Bahamas, colonial style vibe going on. Quite a departure for the PNW, and I love it!
The evolution of your choices in container arrangements has been so fun to watch. I absolutely LOVE the designs in your newer videos. Do you reflect on your evolution of design preferences? Would you be able to talk about the colors and textures you're recently drawn to?
Everything is turning out so beautiful! You have such an amazing eye for beauty. My vote is for the dark cushions. the dark helps mask the air conditioner which is what you spoke about wanting. So lovely! Thanks for taking us with in your gardening life.
I love the chairs with the darker cushions. They are just covers so you could always switch them out if you wanted to. When my sister and I were little anytime we got a new refrigerator or freezer my dad would always save the boxes. He would cut them up and make them into a playhouse for us. We would have so much fun playing in those boxes. My mom used to joke instead of buying us toys for Christmas, all they had to do was buy us some big boxes and we'd be happy. 💗🌼
Exactly what I came here to say! And the little ones can color or paint on them and use their imaginations.. My kids always got lots of use out of big boxes. You can always use them in the garden afterwards. If your kids let you! Haha!
The Hartley…oh my😍. What a glorious space that will be for cocktails and dinners!! I love how you always find the perfect chairs, say they are too expensive and then they end up going on sale so you can have them! You put it out into the universe and it comes to you!!
You should go with white wicker furniture for the Hartley. Keep the cushions lighter or with foliage prints, strips in a self design. Would look more put together with the brick walls. Since the space is small, keep the furniture more snug and not bulky.
Hi Laura and Aaron! The planters all turned out really pretty! I think the darker cushion cover looks better, especially with the beautiful pillow covers your Mom gave you. Thank you so much for sharing!
OK... I was combing through all the comments... AND NO BODY SAID IT! There were comments on the stunning chairs and covers (including the regal bee covers your mom gifted you); Comments on the palms and window boxes... The beauty of the Hartley and even the recycling of the cardboard boxes for the expansion of your planting area by the walkway... There were a number of comments regarding the flickering light on the left side of your porch (I think it was the new light that was recently installed); AND STILL, NO BODY SAID IT! ... So I'll say it: HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY, LAURA (even though it was on April 20th?!?) Hope it was a special day! ...And more importantly, I wish that everyday is a celebration filled with Love, Happiness, Good Health, Prosperity, and Joy for You and Your Entire Family!🥰💕🌺🥰
I love the look ofthe palms in the containers. So very pretty. I think you should keep both the colors. Scotchguard the hecknout of the white, use it in the Spring and Summer. Save the darker color for fall and winter. Your mom's covers look great with both. Have fun decorating your new space. Can't wait to see what comes next.
I love how your front porch flowers turned out. So pretty! I must say the pillow covers your Mom gifted you are perfect for the Hartley! They bring an elegance to it that matches the chandelier and the Hartley itself. I hope you use the darker shade seat covers with those 😊
Oh my how wonderful 🥰 and your first tree in the Hartley tree thanks for sharing neutral colours in the cushion covers would be awesome 🙌🪴🐨🦘🇦🇺Karen from Australia 😎☀️🌊🦇
I agree Scotch Guard would be good for the cushions. It’s looking beautiful Laura! Those pillows your mom gave you are stunning and made for a queen bee 🐝 like yourself!
I love how the window boxes turned out. Soothing colors and so welcoming. Your Hartley is growing up. It will be finished before we know it. So proud for you guys…
Good morning gardening friends! The Hartley❤️ I can’t wait till the table arrives! A mini home away from home!!!!! Cocktails with your mom❤️ Thank you for sharing your talents and enthusiasm with us❤️God Bless! Sherry-Knoxville
Love the window boxes and pots. The palms are a new look for you, but I love them. The new chairs are great. I vote for the darker cushion because it seems to complement the floor. I can't wait to see the table and shelf, as well as more seating and plants. So exciting to see your dream coming together.
I kind of like the white cushions better, but parlor palms in an outdoor container? I never would of thought! How perfect! Happy Father’s Day weekend Aaron! Thank you both for sharing everything with us! You’re both truly amazing examples!
Pretty, pretty, pretty! Love the palms on the porch! They look so summer-breezy! Yes those cushion covers should relax with use and figs are super easy to propagate via cuttings. Just stick in water & they easily root. Do you know which variety it is? They can become monsters if they like where they are, and then you can start over with cuttings.
Oh my gosh Laura your porch are gorgeous! I can see my self having coffee in that bench and enjoy my surroundings. 😍🌴🌷The palms is perfect there. The hartley is looking beautiful! 💜
I've always thought the same 'cheap' feelings when using terracotta pots. So many exquisite cement pots and the terracotta pot won?!? Upgrade the fig's home.
I like your eye, Laura. My eye went to the white cushions too. YES! It brings some brightness and shows off the rich brown colored pretty chairs so nicely. When are you planting the boxwoods and other plants around the Harley? We are all waiting...patiently!
As a toddler mom who also has an inclination towards lighter colors, I use outdoor scotch guard on my lighter fabrics to kid/animal/dirt proof things. I usually do two or so coats and everything just sprays off!
I love the pillow covers your Mom gave you! I think they look perfect with the darker cushions. The white is going to get dirty quick! So excited to see the inside come together. Love the planters too….of course! Lol
I love the trolley you used to move the fig tree. I need one to move my large pots. Love the chairs from pottery barn. They look lovely in your Hartley.
Hartley looks great. You mentioned the AC unit. If you want to make it visually disappear, maybe paint it a sold color similar to the bricks. I learned this tip and have done it for exterior AC condensers that were a light gray and stood out in the garden.
I love the window boxes, the difference of. heights of those ferns, is very attractive , the scale to me looks perfect.
The darker pillows lend a grander look to go with the pillows from your Mama. Classic beauty, we’re all enjoying and share your excitement too.
I love window boxes with Impatiens, coleus and bagonias for shady spots.
Just one opinion on the pad colors . The light color pads draws your eye to the air conditioner, the dark pads draw your eyes to the beautiful stone floor.
I agree! It also looks consistent with the pillow covers her mom purchased so a more finished look to me.
Curious what covers the cushions will have for Christmas!
I agree about the cushion covers. How wonderful to begin filling the Hartley!!!
The darker cushion goes beautifully with the covers your Mom gave you and it will hide dust and dirt much better than the white. It’s more calming and tranquil than the white too.
Totally agree
you have the perfect tools for each task
Wow! The planters with the palms are just beautiful. The window boxes amazing as well. Great job Laura, as always.
I love your plantings and especially your fig!!!! Holy cow, I have never seen one anywhere in St George, Utah! I did buy a Meyer Lemon and a key Limelight. My daughter was here from GA and and we had fun going all over the place looking for things I could carry into the house, durning the winter. I will be 75 this Wednesday and I hope I can continue to haul these plants in and out. For the last 2 years, we have had horrible wind, bad enough to strip leaves of my large Shade trees, praying it calms down and does not destroy my little new trees.
Everything is coming along with all your spring planting etc. Much love and blessings!!!!
Yes that's what everyone wishes for, have a nice day!
Love your big planter pot

To cold
the darker cushions are a perfect compliment to your gorgeous floors. They have a natural look.
The white cushions have an "off the rack" vibe , they sort of look out of place.
Totally agree, Marianne.
Total agree ago! I love back rest pillows your mom selected to start a History "Family Crest" pattern.
But it could look too matchy… I’d have to see it completed. ..
Adding the palm with white background, has strong victorian colonial vibe… that’s an amazing combo
My vote is for the darker cushions. 🪑They go better with the pillow covers your Mom got for you. Plus, you won't have to worry about them showing the dirt as much as the other ones.
Thats true but its so annoying they dont fit right! Maybe she can steam them a bit to stretch them out enough
I agree about keeping the darker seat cushions. Those covers are similar to a throw pillow’s cover because they’re supposed to be smaller than the cushion/insert itself to add more fluff but I do think since they’re seat cushions that they’ll flatten down over time.
The darker cushion make everything look finished.the chairs are beautiful.
The potted plants by the window are so beautiful, it makes me feel peaceful, thank you for sharing !!!
Morning GA friends and Happy Saturday. Great way to start the weekend with sweet Laura. 💗🌼🌿
I vote for the darker covers. I think with your moms pillows they are a perfect accent to the floor❤️
The front porch pots and window boxes are beautiful! Loving the progress in the Hartley, so exciting!!!
The darker cushion cover looks better and goes well with the gorgeous pillows your mom got for you. I can never afford the Hartley but I’m just contented and satisfied watching you enjoying it.
I prefer the look of the darker cushions and they also look perfect with the throw pillows ❤️
The chairs are beautiful. The white cushions would be fantastic. The Hartley is going to bring all of you so much joy. Thank you for letting us join you on your wonderful journey.
The window boxes turned out really pretty but let’s talk about the Hartley! Those chairs are perfect and the cushion covers your mom gave you are beautiful. They make a regal statement which is perfect for the Hartley ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Gorgeous!
It all Lovely! The chairs are especially beautiful at half price! Good things come to those who wait, you are so wise
My vote is the darker pads, they look better with your mom's pillow covers, which are amazingly perfect for the Hartley!! Someone else said it, and I agree, just magical!!
The window boxes could not be more beautiful & the urns by the front door complete the look. May try to replicate your plant choices. Just gorgeous! You have an incredible eye for design.😊👏
I think it going to be beautiful. Speaking on the cushions, I really think the darker ones 👀 better. It blends with the floor and those gorgeous pillows from your mom.
Agree!!
I think I would consider making a fabric "cover" to place around the base of the air conditioner to soften the eye draw. Nice chairs.
Love the window boxes .....and the shorter videos. All your videos are terrific but it's easier for me to view the shorter ones some days.
The chairs look great in the Hartley. You have a knack when it comes to flower arranging, decorating, planting pots etc..you have so many talents. Aaron and you make a great team.
The palms with peach and yellow window boxes give a tropical vibe!☀️🌴
Anyone else notice the porch light flickering? 🤔 I am excited right along with you for the Hartley! It’s so satisfying to finally start seeing a vision come to life!
Really like the darker colors on the chairs. Makes the chairs look much richer. There is so much white from the hartley itself.
Between the palm trees, coral impatiens, ferns, Hartley wicker chairs and crested pillows, you are starting to get a Bahamas, colonial style vibe going on. Quite a departure for the PNW, and I love it!
Oh my; i could not focus for the light on the right of the door going on and off! Great job on all the planters and containers.🌸🌼🌷
Prefer the darker cushions and I would consider spray painting the air conditioner too to make it less obvious. The Hartley is gorgeous!
Can I move in?? Lol. Have you considered a rug under the table? Might help chair movement and help to cut down on echoing??
So exciting. I love that the Hartley is coming together. Can’t wait to see the counter and table!!!
Planters look stunning. Love the palm’s!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Chairs are absolutely perfect!!!! Stately, but not too much! Classic, and so cozy!!! 💕🫶🏻
The evolution of your choices in container arrangements has been so fun to watch. I absolutely LOVE the designs in your newer videos. Do you reflect on your evolution of design preferences? Would you be able to talk about the colors and textures you're recently drawn to?
I like the dark cushions with the pillow covers your mom got you…I Love the window boxes with palms…the chairs a lovely…your blessings are many!
I really love the palm trees in pots with the flowers and the window flowers arrangement.
Everything is turning out so beautiful! You have such an amazing eye for beauty. My vote is for the dark cushions. the dark helps mask the air conditioner which is what you spoke about wanting. So lovely! Thanks for taking us with in your gardening life.
The planters have such a tropical vacation feel now and the chairs in the Hartley beautiful so exciting to see it all coming together!

Let Benjamin build a cool fort with the giant boxes!🏠
The Hartley…oh my😍. What a glorious space that will be for cocktails and dinners!! I love how you always find the perfect chairs, say they are too expensive and then they end up going on sale so you can have them! You put it out into the universe and it comes to you!!
Looking forward to another Recap Video - we miss those♥
beautiful planting.i have never seen such a huge display of columbines. they are gorgeous. another great job.
You should go with white wicker furniture for the Hartley. Keep the cushions lighter or with foliage prints, strips in a self design. Would look more put together with the brick walls. Since the space is small, keep the furniture more snug and not bulky.
Hi Laura and Aaron! The planters all turned out really pretty! I think the darker cushion cover looks better, especially with the beautiful pillow covers your Mom gave you. Thank you so much for sharing!
Good afternoon from a windy, grey Scottish Highlands 🌼
The floor near the door is beautiful ❤
The pillows your mom gave you are perfect!
Your gardens are beautiful. Thank you for sharing them. Such a blessing.
Love the soft grey with your Mum's gift cushion look, great and so subtle.
I believe over time the darker seat covers will make you happier especially with your Mom's pillows. Beautiful none the less.
First plant in the Hartley!!!! 💕🌱💕
I'm ridiculously excited about this.
me too!
Can't wait for more Hartley content and planting, I have been anticipating it all season

Hi Laura! Your windows are so beautifully clean. It may be a good idea to put a window decal on them so the birds don’t crash into them!
I really love your new chair's and the darker pad's. The window boxes look beautiful. I love how you chose the different color's and texture's.
I love how your front porch flowers turned out. So pretty! I must say the pillow covers your Mom gifted you are perfect for the Hartley! They bring an elegance to it that matches the chandelier and the Hartley itself. I hope you use the darker shade seat covers with those 😊
Beautiful window box plantings, and it’s nice to see the Hartley coming to life!
Oh my how wonderful 🥰 and your first tree in the Hartley tree thanks for sharing neutral colours in the cushion covers would be awesome 🙌🪴🐨🦘🇦🇺Karen from Australia 😎☀️🌊🦇
I agree Scotch Guard would be good for the cushions. It’s looking beautiful Laura! Those pillows your mom gave you are stunning and made for a queen bee 🐝 like yourself!
So happy for you's, well deserved after tears of continuous hard work. Everything is looking beautiful 🪴💚
Beautiful! MO: The lighter cushions look unfinished. The darker ones blend much better with the throw pillows.
I love how the window boxes turned out. Soothing colors and so welcoming. Your Hartley is growing up. It will be finished before we know it. So proud for you guys…
Good morning gardening friends!

Loving the tropical vibes with those palms and pinks
Because of you and your channel the beauty of coleus and heuchera has really affected how I plant. Love it!!!!
I am obsessed with the window boxes!!! The textures it looks so refreshing and tropical
Love the window boxes and pots. The palms are a new look for you, but I love them. The new chairs are great. I vote for the darker cushion because it seems to complement the floor. I can't wait to see the table and shelf, as well as more seating and plants. So exciting to see your dream coming together.
Your Mum has great taste Laura. Those Royal cushions look amazing together with the replacement cushion covers for the chairs x 🧡💛🧡🙏😇🇦🇺
Great video BTW x Beautiful plantings x 🧡💛🧡🙏😇🇦🇺
The front porch looks amazing. Spring is so slow this year.
I love the new chairs and good job on the window boxes.
I agree that the white cushion draws your eye to the ac unit. The chairs are beautiful.
I kind of like the white cushions better, but parlor palms in an outdoor container? I never would of thought! How perfect! Happy Father’s Day weekend Aaron! Thank you both for sharing everything with us! You’re both truly amazing examples!
Good Morning! 🌞🌸🌿 I like the lighter color for the cushions & I am in love with the Hartley!! The window boxes & planters are gorgeous!!! 🥰💚💐🌴💚
Good morning GA family! 😊♥️☀️

Loved the way Cheddar centered himself right in the middle of the palms.
Oh my gosh Laura your porch are gorgeous! I can see my self having coffee in that bench and enjoy my surroundings. 😍🌴🌷The palms is perfect there. The hartley is looking beautiful! 💜
Added benefit of palms - they sound so relaxing in the wind! Your porch plant combo is my favorite to date!!! Esp with the columbine accenting!😍😍😍
Definitely the grey covers. With the grey cushion covers your mum bought, they look luxurious.
The white cheapen them :)
I've always thought the same 'cheap' feelings when using terracotta pots. So many exquisite cement pots and the terracotta pot won?!?
Upgrade the fig's home.
I also like the darker cushions on the chairs. They blend in better. I think they will flatten out some. I love the palms I the pots on the porch.
I think the darker one's but both are pretty. Laura it is coming along. So much joy and love in everything you do!!!!
Love the dark cushions with the pillows your mom got for you. And your window boxes look great with the palm trees on the porch. Well done!
Love the plants you choose for the window boxes and the Palms. The Hartley area is just gorgeous. Your Moms pillow choice are Stunning.
Good morning! The palms look pretty by themselves.. a little bit of an eye rest and a clean look.
I really love the simplicity of the palm pots
Yes Laura, they are very pretty. Ferns and palm trees make me think of So California. Very summery and beautiful.
I like your eye, Laura. My eye went to the white cushions too. YES! It brings some brightness and shows off the rich brown colored pretty chairs so nicely. When are you planting the boxwoods and other plants around the Harley? We are all waiting...patiently!
I like the darker cushions. Love your space!
As a toddler mom who also has an inclination towards lighter colors, I use outdoor scotch guard on my lighter fabrics to kid/animal/dirt proof things. I usually do two or so coats and everything just sprays off!
And also there are fabric paint 🎨 she could use
Chairs are so pretty! I think the darker color is the best for the Hartley!
I love the pillow covers your Mom gave you! I think they look perfect with the darker cushions. The white is going to get dirty quick! So excited to see the inside come together. Love the planters too….of course! Lol
I love the trolley you used to move the fig tree. I need one to move my large pots. Love the chairs from pottery barn. They look lovely in your Hartley.
