Matt's method of concealing the fence poles is brilliant! I love seeing your creative and budget friendly projects.
I agree!
The idea was totally original ~ I never would've thought if that & it looks so good!
Rachel ......A star is born!! Matt is looking more and more comfortable with every video!!! He does a fabulous job as always!!! ❤❤❤❤
Haha!
Thank you. He actually makes videos fairly often for our painting business - he's way better at "shorts" and reels than I am. He's such a natural, clear & concise teacher! Thanks for stopping by today. Happy Spring! 💐
I think Matt did a fantastic job again. His idea for hiding the fence poles was brilliant. Thank you for another great video Rachel!
I agree, his fence post covers were brilliant! Thanks for visiting today, Miss Gloria. Happy Spring! 💐
We all wish we had a Matt!! Lol
He's a great blessing!
I love the renovation you did on the birdbath and the bench around the tree is gorgeous, but the idea Matt came up with for those fence poles is awesome!!! You guys have the best ideas for DIY projects inside and out!!!👍
Agreed, Miss Ilene!
His fence post cover idea is brilliant! Thanks for the inspiration for our fence stain color!
Great projects y'all. It's nice to see that beautiful mosaic birdbath being repaired and cleaned up rather than being discarded.
Your diy and money saving ideas are so practical! Thank you for sharing with us. Love, love, love, the bench around the tree! And, the renewed bird bath. So many folks would just throw it away - but, I LOVE that you repaired it and made it as good as new. You two are full of creativity and good sense!
So glad you popped by to visit and enjoyed the projects, Miss Patti! I love Matt's tree bench, too!
Enjoyed seeing Matt starring in this video. Let’s see more of Matt!!!
That's the plan! Glad you enjoyed!
What a lovely spot, with the birds chirping. I can see quiet days sipping sweet tea and enjoying all the beauty. Also, let's not forget what a blessing dear Matt is and is so talented.
That sounds relaxing! Thanks for stopping by today!
EVERYTHING looks so beautiful! Fence, pole covers, birdbath repair and that fantastic tree bench! I love it! The pavers look fabulous, too!
Matt sure is a treasure! I think it’s so nice that you 2 work together on these DIY projects, not just sharing in the physical aspect but the creativity and design as well. Teamwork!
💗🌸💗
Good morning, Miss Heather!
Yes, Matt is a blessing, and we enjoy working together. Thanks for stopping by!
Matt is a gem! So talented and willing to share his expertise with all of us! You two have created a beautiful spot in the backyard- and of course the fence post covers are genius!
Good morning, Kirsten & thank you!
His fence cover idea surprised me, too! We're happy with how everything turned out. Happy Spring! 💐
This is one of my favorite videos that you have made!! So so good!
Thanks, friend!
We're glad you enjoyed your "visit!"
Have a fabulous day! 💐
Rachel, you and Matt make a great team. The U shaped bench and pole covers to match the fence make quite a statement. Love that you repaired the birdbath and highlighted it with coleus. I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of pillows you enhance your pretty bench with. Blessings.
Good morning!
I'm glad you enjoyed the backyard projects. We are grateful you took the time to visit!
I love the benches around the tree and over the poles.
You made it look so simple in the video, but I know it was hard work and all so worth it. It truly transformed the garden. Excellent job ❤❤
Thank you!
Matt did all the hard work. We actually filmed this over the last two springs... it is nice to finally be able to share! Glad you stopped by and enjoyed!
What a joyful way to welcome spring....the gate, stone path, bench, fencing and post covers , all new plantings are such a delightful touch
to a beautiful backyatd...You will enjoy the glory of the earth and all the new growth this season. All the best...Melanie Fay
Thank you, Miss M! 😊
It is always fun to get the outdoor spaces cleaned and ready for the season. I love the fence and flagstone addition. That green color is so cottagey.
Good morning, Miss Julie!
You're right, there is something hopeful & invigorating to sprucing up outdoor spaces in the spring! 💐
Love your new gate and bench. You two make a great team.
Thank you!
Hi Rachel and Matt! I am new to your channel. I sure live all your projects. I will say you are very fortunate to have a husband that can do all that work. He is a very hard worker. I love that tree bench that really dressed up the yard. Thank you for letting us visit you for awhile and I enjoyed every minute of it. So until next time God Bless you and your family and have a Blessed evening and stay safe my dear and Special u -tube Friends ❤❤❤
Welcome to the Stone Cottage Home family, Miss Joan! We are thrilled to have you along.
Yes, my husband is a blessing!
We appreciate you stopping by!
Hi Rachel.
I watched the video when you first diy-ed the birdbath. I still love it.
Pretty, I like you 2 are not afraid to try new things
Thank you!
I love what Matt did to hide the metal posts and the horse shoe bench.
Thank you, Miss Irene!
He has such good ideas!
Beautiful! You both show good stewardship of your blessings; great example to new homeowners. Be blessed as you bless!
Thank you so much!
All your changes are terrific. Love how he covered the fence supports!
I love the fence post covers, too! Such a creative idea!
My heart sank when I saw the birdbath. Glad you were able to restore it. Phew! 😅 Love the new gate, and especially the tree bench. Matt is a DIY champ!
Yes, the birdbath came out nicely once again! Matt does great work, and he makes it fun! Happy Spring. 💐
Beautiful update! That area is now just bursting with coziness❤❤❤
Aw, that's very kind, thank you!
Your cottage yard looks magical.
Outstanding, Rachel & Matt! The gate, pavers, birdbath, bench, fence and post covers are all so fantastic! What a beautiful oasis you have created, a perfect vacation spot right at home!
Good morning, Miss Lori!
Thank you for the kind comment. We appreciate you taking the time to visit. Happy Spring! 💐
The fence looks so good and I love the bench around the tree. Matt did such a gret job. I bet if you sit really still, the birds will come drink if if you are there.
You're right, Miss Linda!
We've had the robins come and splash around while we're on the patio. Happy Spring! 💐
Good morning, friends!
It's patio season!
Today, Matt & I have some new, creative spring patio DIY projects for you. Enjoy!
I love the bird bath! Your choice of colors are so charming!
Thank you so much!
The overall project is beautiful Rachel and Matt. I think I like the gate best.
Thank you, Miss Terri!
Matt is a very hard worker.
Yes, he is!
Love the horseshoe bench seating. I'm on board and adding it to my list, but my preference is to cover the support post entirely, just my preference!!!
I'm glad you found some inspiration! Creating your own design for a tree bench is what makes life interesting and our spaces unique. I'm sure your design will look lovely as well!
I love the water fountain project. Well, I love all the projects. ❤
Glad you enjoyed the projects!
Love the tree bench , you two are so talented . Keep up the great videos guys, your calm demeanor is so pleasant to watch
Thank you, Miss Julie!
We appreciate you visiting!
Brilliant idea to cover those metal poles. Looks fantastic!
Glad it was helpful!
Oh my goodness! Let me say first that I love the color of stain you chose. Your green garden gate just looks perfect against that warmth and depth of stain! It actually lets green growth be the focal point! I can just see a large tray with fresh squeezed lemonade in tall glasses and a new best selling novel to read under the tree. I think a trellis to frame in the glider would look amazing with some solar powered lights on it! Talk about inviting!! I have wondered about the flex seal. We get so much moisture in our back yard that we need something like that. I am always so excited to see that first major project that jump starts the ‘outside’ months. It looks just wonderful!
Good morning!
Thank you for the kind comment. We went with the true dark brown stain because it looked so good on our neighbor's fence! It wasn't redish or orangey, plus it creates a formal backdrop that plants look great against.
I've still got that trellis idea in mind, but hadn't thought of adding lights - great idea!
How lovely! The irises are some of my favorites. I just wished they bloomed all summer.
That would be lovely!
I love your *SMILING green gate* ! 😊💚
Aw, I hadn't thought of that. Makes me happy, thanks for sharing!
Great bench creation!! Matt did a great job Rachel. Keep up the great work towards all your cottage visions to come to fruition. Way to go Rachel and Matt!
Thank you, Miss Addie!
We are glad you are a part of the Stone Cottage Home family!
The birdbath and the bench around the tree, love them both.
Thank you, Miss Robin!
I love everything you guys did in your backyard. The bench around the tree and hiding the fence poles was just awesome. I love your new gate that Matt made it’s so cottage style. Thank you for sharing it gives us some awesome ideas for our backyards Have a great weekend.
Thank you, Miss Sylvia!
The gate & flagstone just might be my favorite...
Wow! Great job on all projects!
Thanks so much!
So happy to see your video today.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You guys are so darn cute!❤ and awesome besides...
What a wonderful, peaceful, and well thought out cottage retreat in your beautiful back yard.. amazing ❣ thank you both for all your hard work in creating and inspiring all of us.
I love you guys. ❤❤
Good morning, Miss Joann!
So nice to see you stop by to visit, we appreciate your encouraging words and kind support of our channel. Thanks, and have a lovely spring day! 🌷
I used to have a wrap around bench on a tree in my front yard. After time the tree grew so massive it destroyed the bench. You will get so much enjoyment out of this. You both did a great job, it looks beautiful ❤️
Thanks, we appreciate you dropping by, Miss Sharen!
Hi Ms. Rachel, Thank You, to both You and Matt for, sharing another Amazing video with us. All of your projects look Wonderful!

Good afternoon, Ms. Rachel & Mr. Matt! Wow! You both did a fabulous job on all of your back garden diys. Everything turned out beautifully, as always. I especially love the fence post covers and the tree bench. Thank you for sharing. ❤, Bobbie. xoxo
Good morning, Miss Bobbie!
We're so glad you took the time to stop by and that you enjoyed your visit! Your kind, faithful support to our channel is appreciated! Happy Spring. 💐
love the tree bench.
Your patio area is definitely much improved. Will you be working on getting grass to grow in that area now? Our biggest challenge where we live is to keep the grass healthy and growing, we work on that every year, reseeding and watering. I love the tree bench we have a huge maple tree in our yard that we have talked about doing that too. I shall have to show my husband how your husband did yours. Great video, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed the projects! For now we are focused on the infrastructures more than the grass. Someday...
Thanks for stopping by!
Dear Rachel & Matt....When are you coming to my house? 😃 I absolutely love this video today. The weather is turning so beautiful, flowers are waking. You all work so well together and come up with the best ideas! The seat bench for the tree is awesome, as is, the hidden metal post project! I think Matt is starting a movement and every man in America has a new addition to "the list"! Haha! Rachel, the bench you put out is so sweet, hard to find these here in the NW. Keep at it you two, we love to hear from you!
Lina
Haha!
It might be a loooong tie before we make it by... there's SO much to do here!
Yes, this gorgeous weather pulls me outside and inspires me to clean things up and get projects done. Have a lovely spring day! 🌷
Great job on everything 👏
Thank you!
Oh gosh Rachel!! It was so much fun to go to the backyard with you guys.. It’s definitely one of my favorite places to be 😌 I loved everything you & Matt did but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the new gate and stone path.. so completely charming! What a team you two are.. once again I hated to see it come to an end 😌
I can’t wait to see what you do next.. you’ve got a lovely area to work with. Blessings to you both
Your Ky friend

Hello, Miss Belinda!
I'm so glad you enjoyed your visit to our backyard!
By the way, I don't know if you've seen the announcements on Instagram, the UA-cam Community tab, and in your email inbox... but you won the blue & white giveaway! Please email me at rachel@stonecottage.com with your mailing address & I'll get the blue & white flower frog mailed your way. Congratulations!
Great job! Congratulations
Thank you for stopping by today!
Beautiful!
Thank you!
I love the look of the arrangement you and Matt accomplished in your backyard. Enjoy your outdoors this summer!
Thank you!
I did a birdbath like this. Was gorgeous, but has weathered terribly. Some plates I used had the top layer peel off just like shale rock. I was brokenhearted as some cannot be repaired. I used a lot of the blue and white, too. I may try another one, but mine was huge and very labor intensive. I actually mourned its demise.
Remember, friend, it's just a birdbath and old plates. Try again! You'll enjoy the out come for years!
Genius 😊
Bạn thật khéo tay 👍.
Thank you! I give the credit for these projects to Matt, he's amazing!
We liveaboard a sailboat and are familiar with FlexSeal. A word of caution with the clear, it will yellow if in sunlight. Love the bench around the tree!
Thanks for the tip!
Any recommendations for a sealant that doesn't yellow?
@@StoneCottageHome Sorry, we've used the flex seal as well but the opaque white. A friend used it on his boat and it's really evident where he did, mind you boats are in full blast of the sun 24/7, so you may be okay, especially if it's shaded.
Hi Miss Rachel,
I've always wanted a tree bench. Matt is so talented.
The fence is beautiful stained that colour. Love the green gate. It all looks wonderful 💐🌿
Good morning!
We're glad you stopped by and enjoyed the projects!
❤ Hi there! I love everything you did today! The birbbath is SO lovely! And the tree surround is amazing! Awesome that you both can do projects…together! ❤
Thank you, Miss Katherine!
We appreciate your cheery encouragement. We both enjoy doing projects together! Thanks for dropping by, and have a lovely spring day! 💐
Another great installment from my FAVORITE youtube channel. Thank you!
How sweet, thank you!
Love it. Seat around the tree is the best
Thank you!
Way to go, Matt. Beautiful talent.
Thank you!
The bench is Gorgeous!!
Thank you!
Loved the entire back area project.
Both you and Matt do beautiful work.
Very inspiring and visually delightful !!

Hi Rachel! What a beautiful backyard oasis you and Matt have created! I have too many favorites...love them all...but the garden gate, the tree bench, and the metal post covers (ingenious) are all fabulous! 💖💖💖

I like the way you hid the fence post. My fence needs fixing and the post you have looks like a good idea then I can hide them as you did. Thank you it was a pleasure watching your video. looking forward to more videos!
We're so glad to know you've picked up an idea you can use in your yard! Thanks for stopping by and for sharing!
