I Heart Rustic Stone Steps

I have the best husband in the world. Not only is he an amazing gardener, he knows what I like and does everything in his power to make it happen. One example, for which I haven't yet acknowledged him (hopefully this blog post will do the job), are these adorable rustic steps he had made for me in various locations on our property. Here they are...

First we have the steps that lead from the main backyard to the a lower area where we keep our trash dumpsters. It's stone to match the wall simply covered with cement. Simple and rustic...


(Please excuse the miriad half-naked children in the background.)

Next are the steps leading from the backyard to the garden. Love these even more because they are stone on top, too!


And finally, we have my favorite set of steps that lead from the kitchen carport to the herb garden (which John also planted for me)...


I love these because each step is completely different. The top step is made of all smaller stones, the second step is mostly one large stone, shown below (which the 9-year-old boy claims he found, which makes it precious)...,


...and the bottom landing, made of the leftover slate scraps used on our kitchen floor.

And that's all! I'm just a lucky gal because I have a husband who makes me rustic steps!

I am pleased to list these photos at MckLinky's weekly BlogHop! Join in! I'ts fun!
