It was about this time last year when my husband and I started planning our backyard renovation. Our backyard used to be a dirt wasteland (you can check out all the before photos here) and desperately needed some love.
We completed all of the hardscape and turf, just a day before our deadline. We were throwing a big one-year birthday party/house warming and it was probably the first time our extended family had seen our house. The deadline was self-imposed, but it totally helped with decision making, and just getting things accomplished that we had been talking about for months.
While the hardscape was finished in the nick of time, we ran out of energy (and budget) to finish landscaping the perimeter and adding the fun al fresco stuff like a dining table and chairs. Now that winter’s over, I’m ready to put the finishing touches on our back yard. Here’s what I’m thinking:
string lights / chairs / pillows (coming soon) / shade flag / white planter / black planter / concrete pot / stacking chairs / outdoor table / ottomans
I’ve always wanted a shade flag but we have so much wind that I’m afraid it would break nonstop. At least it’s easy for me to take my umbrella down. Love the modern feel of your space
Thank you Julia!
Hi! Do you have a search tool on your site? I love your backyard and would like to find out more about it. We are looking to do something similar with the concrete work and seating. Thanks!
