Some folks, however, take their decorating more seriously than others. Some lawn decoration is just that, bits of stuff scattered and arranged here and there about the back yard or front lawn. Sometimes, however, it becomes part of the building, as with this whimsically decorated house on Asbury in Evanston.
And sometimes, the decoration can overtake the house entirely, redefining it, as with this building in Ukraine Village.
That's the House of Crosses, alternately know as the "It's what I do" house. Sadly, most of this 20-year accumulation of art was removed in 2007.
For my money, though, nothing quite tops this custom-sculpted facade reworking at 6011 S. Ashland. The building and lot belong to a towing company. How they wound up with such a wonderfully decorated building is a mystery.

These are all enviable finds for scoring. Any of the yards presented would send us into spasms of glee. Thanks for sharing. I must get someone up to Chicago.
I can tell that I must send you some photos of my yard art.
Those are really nice pictures. Specially first two. Third one looks little messy, may be because it was taken from front view. But I really learned something from it.
