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!
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! 💐
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! 💐
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!
Enjoyed seeing Matt starring in this video. Let’s see more of Matt!!!
That's the plan! Glad you enjoyed!
We all wish we had a Matt!! Lol
He's a great blessing!
Great projects y'all. It's nice to see that beautiful mosaic birdbath being repaired and cleaned up rather than being discarded.
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! 💐
Is wonderful you have a great husband that’s there helping every step of the way
Agreed, he is a blessing!
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!
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!
I love the benches around the tree and over the poles.
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!
Love your new gate and bench. You two make a great team.
Thank you!
I thought you had a beautiful yard before your projects! What an amazing transformation! Way to go on cover up the unsightly fence post. Matt, your The Man!
Thank you!
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!
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! 💐
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! 😊
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! 💐
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!
Hi Rachel. I watched the video when you first diy-ed the birdbath. I still love it.
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!
Beautiful! You both show good stewardship of your blessings; great example to new homeowners. Be blessed as you bless!
Thank you so much!
Pretty, I like you 2 are not afraid to try new things
Thank you!
You're lucky to have a handy dandy hubby. ❤
Yes, he is a wonderful blessing!
Beautiful update! That area is now just bursting with coziness❤❤❤
Aw, that's very kind, thank you!
All your changes are terrific. Love how he covered the fence supports!
I love the fence post covers, too! Such a creative idea!
the bird bath looks beautiful. about twenty years ago I did that to my mailbox..
Oh, wow! I'm sure that was beautiful!
Your cottage yard looks magical.
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. 💐
I love what Matt did to hide the metal posts and the horse shoe bench.
Thank you, Miss Irene! He has such good ideas!
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! 💐
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 bench turned out beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing how it all turned out.
Absolutely!
I love the water fountain project. Well, I love all the projects. ❤
Glad you enjoyed the projects!
The overall project is beautiful Rachel and Matt. I think I like the gate best.
Thank you, Miss Terri!
You are so blessed to have Matt All turned out beautiful 🌵hello from West TEXAS..🐝🏜️💝Happy Spring
Thanks for stopping by from West Texas, Miss Karen! Yes, Matt is a blessing! Happy Spring to you, too. 🌷
Covering the fence posts was a superb idea!! Love it and looks fantastic. I also loved the birdbath refresh. I think I want to do that once I move because it is beautiful. The bench around the tree is wonderful as well. Matt sure is creative and so are you! Hugs
Glad you enjoyed the projects! You'd love doing a mosaic birdbath. It was a relaxing project and yielded such a pretty result!
Brilliant idea to cover those metal poles. Looks fantastic!
Glad it was helpful!
I love your *SMILING green gate* ! 😊💚
Aw, I hadn't thought of that. Makes me happy, thanks for sharing!
The birdbath and the bench around the tree, love them both.
Thank you, Miss Robin!
So happy to see your video today.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The birdbath is gorgeous!!! ❤
Thank you! You should try one! I'm still thinking about doing our tree tiered fountain...
Your tree bench design is awesome! Matt does an excellent job and explains what he's doing. ❤❤❤❤😊😊
Thanks so much!
Matt is a very hard worker.
Yes, he is!
Wow! Great job on all projects!
Thanks so much!
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! 💐
How lovely! The irises are some of my favorites. I just wished they bloomed all summer.
That would be lovely!
Beautiful just beautiful❤
Thank you!
Love the idea of the pole covers ❤
Thanks! Matt has such good ideas!
My goodness, all of the DIY's are wonderful, thanks for the video
You are so welcome, we appreciate you stopping by, Miss Laura!
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!
Matt did such a nice job! It looks wonderful.
Couldn't agree more!
Couldn't agree more!
I love the bench and the gate. ❤. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Thank you, Miss Debbie! Happy Spring! 🌷
So much wonderful information.
Glad you enjoyed!
Great idea on covering the posts.
Glad it was helpful!
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!
Beautiful job. Matt’s painting tips are helpful. Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!
I love your tree bench. It is beautiful! Your outdoor space is lovely and I am inspired to get busy on some outside projects.
Yay! We're always excited to know our viewers are inspired. 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!
Projects came out awesome. Love it.
Glad you enjoyed!
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!
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...
Good idea for the fence post!! Your yard looks very nice!!
Glad you found the projects helpful, Miss Barbara!
good job and love Matt's ideal on covering the poles.
Agreed! He's brilliant and hard working. 😊
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! 🌷

Looks great!
Thank you!
That was a beautiful process. Everything is so well made and handcrafted! Great ideas! 💚
Thank you!
Great job! Such a peaceful and private area. We are trying to make some improvements also. Lumber and materials are so high. I’ve always enjoyed your videos. 😊 I just loved it all.
Glad you enjoyed the projects, Miss Karen! Yes, materials are higher than ever... Just one trellis is $50! We appreciate you dropping by today. Have a lovely weekend! 🌷
Great job on everything 👏
Thank you!
So pretty!
Thank you!
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! Although I love each of the projects, the one that stands out for me is, the way that Matt concealed the fence poles, that idea is...mind blowing! 👏🏾🤗👏🏾 You two are Truly Blessed to have each other, You make an Amazing Team. Thank You again for sharing, inspiring, and encouraging So Many of us. Lord willing, until next time. 🙏🏾 Love In Christ, Paula

@@StoneCottageHome you're welcome and Thank You also. Ms. Rachel, I Absolutely Love your channel, and it is a Delight to support. Have a Wonderfully Blessed day and beyond, in Jesus' Name. Lord willing, until next time. 🙏🏾😊🙏🏾
Wow! Great ideas and team work! Glad KZhead recommended you and I've definitely subscrbed. You are regular people! Not flashy with an unlimited budget like some channels. I'm A senior on a fixed income always on the lookout for affordable DIY projects. Thank you.
Welcome to the Stone Cottage Home family, Miss Jessie! We are glad to have you along! Yes, we are regular people with a regular budget and no crew. It's just us! Our projects/remodels are not HGTV and take time to finish ~ and that's ok! Thanks for appreciating us "regular" people! 😉
Beautiful!
Thank you!
I'm sure you will spend many happy hours in your lovely new space! Great job, both of you!!
Thanks, friend!
Great job! Congratulations
Thank you for stopping by today!
Just lovely😊 I have a birdbath that I have been wanting to do in the same fashion. Maybe I’ll finally get it done, you have inspired me. Loved your video.
Definitely give it a go! I was reluctant at first, but it was easy and turned out well.
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. 💐
Another great installment from my FAVORITE youtube channel. Thank you!
How sweet, thank you!
I love the look of the arrangement you and Matt accomplished in your backyard. Enjoy your outdoors this summer!
Thank you!
Way to go, Matt. Beautiful talent.
Thank you!
Well done Matt. The bench need to be moved a bit to the right and a nice colored cushion on it. And fu want to go all out make one for the tree bench. Also ur idea on covering the metal post was brilliant.
Glad you enjoyed!
You both did a great job! And you are right about one project leading to another . Your husband must be a woodworker or be in the trades because he is very skilled. Will you place mulch or gravel around the bench and metal vintage bench? And that metal floor mat that your spray painted....hang it on the fence behind that vintage bench. You know now that I think about it you should really paint that vintage metal bench a nice coral color. Imagine how beautiful that would be!
Glad you enjoyed the projects! Thanks for the feedback, I'm sure we'll jump into more projects as time goes by.
❤ 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! 💐
Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Genius 😊
Love it. Seat around the tree is the best
Thank you!
The bench is Gorgeous!!
Thank you!
Looks great. That beautiful pot would great on the tree bench
Thank you for stopping by Miss Beth!
Beautiful .
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!
Loved the entire back area project. Both you and Matt do beautiful work. Very inspiring and visually delightful !!
Thanks so much!
