We decided to do a little backyard makeover. Half of our yard is a sport court and the other half had a small amount of grass. After having a dog the grass was looking...well let's just say, "not so fresh". So, we decided to take it all out and make a paver patio. This was the first time my husband had attempted anything like this, so he was learning with each step!
~Before~
We LOVE s'mores, so a fire pit was a must!
Do we really need that many pavers???
~After~
We are so pleased with the results. I really love the "old world" feel the pavers give. The fire pit has been so great and we have even roasted Hot Dogs in it too!
I have 2 Teak Steamer Chairs on order for this empty spot...hopefully they will get here soon, so I can enjoy the rest of summer lounging!
Recently on a trip to Edmonds, I stumbled upon this cool etegere. It was exactly what I wanted for this space...
In the end, we love this space! We love not having grass to mow in the backyard, and it just feels like a "mini resort".
Dawn...it looks amazing back there!! Love the urn with the fern! Wish I could come share some s'mores with you and Plum Blossom!! Hope you're enjoying summer...Pam (from TP)
