    My unsightly backyard ideas

    the walls i would do a terracotta or deeper, a coloured gravel on the floor of your choice. At the end a large ceramic plant pot with a tall woody plant yuca or large bamboo. If the terracotta makes the light into the room dim then opposite the window may be a large outside mosaic mirror...
