How to build an indoor Summer's Day
Accesorizing
Every lawn needs the proper tools to maintain it.
Buy some colorful flowers. If you buy flats of flowers, you can cut apart the flimsy plastic six-packs and "plant" them about the cube. Leave the flowers in the containers, it will be easier. Tuck them in the sod seams and between the sod edge and cube wall.
Every yard needs a picket fence. If you buy the plastic kind that has pointy bits to stab into the ground, bend the pointy bits to slide under the sod layer and keep the fence upright.
Now you have a quaint little yard!
If you have an extra tree handy, add it to the yard. Balls or miscellaneous other toys are good to strew about the grass for an authentic look.
Including a watering can is always thoughtful. It will help the recipient of the yard successfully maintain it! (Be sure to warn them not to flood the floor!!!)
Conservative statues are always great. For this cube, we chose Lawn Bunnies. They add character, humor and adorable-ness to the landscape.
A lawn chair and a celebratory banner (see the blimp in the upper left-hand corner) are the final touches. The chair really finishes the space and the banner provides helpful information to outside observers as well as a permanent keepsake for the recipient of the yard.
Finally, enjoy your yard!
