Gas Meter Cover | Outdoor Eyesore

Gail Wilson — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 00:04:47 +0000

I love a great crib repurpose, and I don't like having an outdoor eyesore like a gas meter. While doing my backyard makeover, everything was looking so nice that I just had to cover the gas meter. It's nearly impossible to cover all of the things that hang on your house, but if you give your guests "pretty" options, they're less likely to notice the other necessities of being a homeowner.

I can't remember when I was so excited about a bench. I've never made a bench quite like this one. Nope, it's not a headboard bench, it's make from a pallet. It truly is the sturdiest and most comfortable bench I've made to date. Yep, it's going in my new backyard space. I hope you love it as much as I do.

I picked up a brass vanity light at the ReStore in Nashville while visiting my grandson a few weeks ago. I got a great deal on it and decided to paint it and repurpose for the backyard camper retreat. I will be adding solar lights, but so far I'm not loving how it's turning out.
