Backyard Before and After

After almost four years living in the same house, I feel like most of my original DIY projects are done.  It is kinda sad, because I love me some DIY.  But also you have to feel a sense of accomplishment.  One of the final projects on the list was the backyard.  It was finally finished last summer, and I never shared the results with you all.  I thought you might enjoy a little summer inspiration in February.

The previous owners had installed a wooden deck right outside of the backdoor.


It was a small space, and hadn't been well cared for.  I was determined to get rid of the wood, and instead have a nice patio space for outdoor entertaining.  After surveying the project, it was determined that this may be one for the professionals.  So a landscape architect was hired and I must admit, it was much more enjoyable to watch from inside.  There were some hot days last summer!


Here is the final result...many weeks later.  Looking forward to summer yet?
