DIY Diamond Trellis on a Wall

August 2, 2019

I had been dreaming of the day when I could finally create a diamond trellis on an exterior wall of our home. I absolutely adore the look of them and think they add so much character to a home. I finally found the perfect spot and made it part of this bigger project.

Using confederate jasmine, it turned out exactly how I envisioned it. And the best part? After knowing exactly what we needed to do, it was a 30-minute project from start to finish. And let’s not forget, pretty budget-friendly! Let’s dive into how you can create a wire diamond trellis on the exterior of your home. Keep in mind this tutorial is for a stucco home but you’ll get a general idea. Wanting to save this project for later? Make sure to pin it!

Here’s What You’ll Need

  • Hammer Drill (makes it easier to drill into stucco)
  • Drill bit slightly smaller than your concrete screws
  • Concrete screws
  • Galvanized wire
  • Confederate Jasmine (I found ours at Home Depot)
  • Marker

Before we even drilled our first hole in the wall, we sketched out an image of our wall. This helped us figure out exactly where we wanted to place the screws to create the diamonds. Refer to the image below (the white circles) to see where we placed our screws.

There’s a small window we had to work around so this helped tremendously. Using a marker, we marked where we needed to drill a hole for each screw. By using a hammer drill with a drill bit meant for concrete, this made it 10 times easier to drill into the stucco. You want your drill bit slightly smaller than the concrete screw you’ll be using.

Once you have your holes drilled, you’ll screw in the concrete screws. Don’t screw them in all the way. You want them slightly sticking out so you have something to wrap the galvanized wire around. Starting with the bottom left screw, wrap the wire around it several times so that you know it won’t go anywhere. From there, take the wire to the upper concrete screw that’s at a diagonal and wrap the wire around this screw a few times. Refer to the image below to see the order in which I wrapped my wire. Side note: it was two different pieces of wire I used.

Now that the trellis is ready, you’ll plant confederate jasmine in front of each screw at the bottom of the trellis. I didn’t plant one on the far right because of the rain barrel blocking that spot. I found that it’s best to purchase confederate jasmine that’s already on a mini trellis. They’re going to have an abundance of long vines to give you a great start. Once planted, you’ll wrap the vines that can already reach the wires around the wire itself.

That’s it! It’s a very budget-friendly and a quick project that you can do in an afternoon. It’s also so important to continue to maintain this trellis by always checking it for vines that have grown that you can wrap around the wires. You’ll also want to trim the vines once they reach the top and have nowhere else to go. Otherwise, they’ll start to grow on your home and roofline.

UPDATE: This is what our trellis looks like about 2 months later!

If you’re applying this to brick, siding, etc. you’ll want to do a little research since this tutorial is about stucco. But they do make screws for brick and siding. It’s possible but you’ll just want to double-check the screws you’ll use and the rest of this tutorial remains the same. Happy gardening, my friends!

This pretty much sums up the progress of making 25 This pretty much sums up the progress of making 250 cement tiles. But I’m halfway through! The moment I finish the last tile is the moment I knock out the old tile. Let’s do this!
Time to bet on my DIY skills! I’m attempting to Time to bet on my DIY skills! I’m attempting to make my own cement tiles for our outdoor front door area. Mainly because of what I’m saving vs buying them. Won’t be saving much on time but I’M MAKING TILES! Never thought I’d hear myself say that. Make sure to follow along because if this works out, I have a feeling a lot of you are already eyeing a spot in your home to try your own DIY cement tiles. 
 
Thank you @vintagerevivals and @abby_roadhome for showing it’s possible with your gorgeous bathroom tiles!

We got the call that the pool build is starting! W We got the call that the pool build is starting! Which had me scrambling to dig up all the plants that were in the way in an effort to save them. Literally down to the last second before the crew showed up. Exciting day but you know what’s even more exciting? Knowing the next crew will officially be breaking ground with the excavation phase of the build.
This time of year is full of organizing and purgin This time of year is full of organizing and purging to bring spaces back to life. But sometimes all a space needs to feel refreshed is, well, a refresh and a little attention. Your number one requested space was the living room. So I gave mine a refresh with some unique and gorgeous finds from @homesense_us . I found a few fun pots for my houseplants, a gorgeous magnifying glass, and a few other items for our coffee table and couch.

I never know what I’m going to find when I walk into Homesense since it’s always rotating with amazing finds. But I do know I’ll walk out with a few new favorites for my home at affordable prices. If you haven’t yet, I urge you to check and see if you have a Homesense near you! #DiscoverHomesense #HomesensePartner
2022, you were awesome. But I’m determined to ma 2022, you were awesome. But I’m determined to make 2023 even better! And I hope you join me! We can be one of our biggest cheerleaders, but together we’re going to do big things. Go ahead and write down a big, small and a few in-between projects you want to get done this year in your home. Kicking it off with intention and that reminder that we can do this. Ready to get started?! Let me know in the comments the first project you want to tackle!
We finally got the Christmas/winter edition of the We finally got the Christmas/winter edition of the window projection up and running! It was a hit for Halloween and just as fun for this time of year as well. I built frames wrapped with a plastic drop cloth but you can also secure the drop cloth over the windows using command strips. The videos are from @atmosfx and we use a mini projector to play them on the screen. Place a Bluetooth speaker outside and you’re in business! Such a fun addition this time of year for the exterior of your home.
It’s the last little bit of the demo we needed t It’s the last little bit of the demo we needed to do in order to give the green light for the pool to start. And 2,456 pavers later, it’s done! This was exhausting but worth the money we saved doing it ourselves. And why remove them? We’re using a different stone around the pool and we want it to be cohesive up to the house. Don’t worry, someone got one heck of a deal on these pavers, we made a little money, and someone else got them out of our driveway. I’d say that’s a win-win. Stayed tuned for the entire pool process as we enter 2023. It’s going to be pretty exciting to watch!
Our patio space has served us so well over the yea Our patio space has served us so well over the years and now it’s time for a change because we’re getting a POOL!! Sharing this with you makes it even more real because just a year ago I would have told you it isn’t in the cards for us. We’ll be breaking ground soon but first we have to remove the screen enclosure. Spoiler: we won’t be putting one back up around the pool. It has already made the biggest difference visually and SO much natural light pours into our home now with it gone. It’s going to be so exciting seeing this all unfold so stay tuned! Up next: removing the pavers.
This holiday season we were able to travel to my h This holiday season we were able to travel to my hometown for the first time in awhile. We were greeted by the most beautiful sunset on the beach. Fast forward to this week as I headed to @homesense_us for some holiday shopping, and I ended up finding a few pieces for our home that remind me of that core memory on the beach. The beautiful wicker bench caught my eye first followed by the comforter and toss pillows. Everything at amazing price points while not sacrificing style and quality. #HomesensePartner

Mixing a thrill of a find with a core memory, I guarantee you'll fall in love with your home even more as you go to decorate. Decorating your home isn't grasping on to the newest trend or what you think others would do. It's what YOU want to do. And sometimes that's based on an emotional connection. Oh, the stories your spaces will be able to tell as you decorate each one. Start with seeing if there’s a @homesense_us near you! #DiscoverHomesense #HomesenseSarasota
