Married life seems to be suiting Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds who were recently photographed tending the quaint garden of their home in Bedford, New York.

Far from her glamorous character in 'Gossip Girl', Lively was wearing faded blue jeans paired with an oversized sweater. Spotted nearby was her husband in shirt-and-trousers ensemble. The 'Green Lantern' actor seems to be lifting several gardening paraphernalia including a hammock as well as a large garden umbrella.

An insider claims that the newlyweds were likewise seen talking to someone from Martha Stewart Living Magazine. Such claim is not surprising since the blonde beauty proudly brands Stewart as her "idol".

The couple is enjoying their new lives together and their hobby is no other than home decorating. According to the 'Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants' actress, it's her husband who actually possesses great taste in home décor: "I'm very lucky to be with someone who has better taste than me. We influence each other in different ways," said the actress to Lucky magazine.

Now that her role as Serena van der Woodsen is over, she has more time to amass impeccable furniture. Nonetheless, the stunning actress does not regret taking a temporary break from her career: "With film and TV, you don't see the results for months. Building a home, you get immediate gratification."

Onlookers are now wondering whether the two will soon start building a family after their home project.

The couple had a lavish wedding ceremony in South Carolina following Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johannson's divorce in 2010.
