Backyard Phase 1

Well it has been a while since my last updates, but we have been very very busy continuing our home improvement projects. I think I have come to the realization that our house will NEVER be complete because I am always finding new projects etc. Thankfully Jeffrey and I love new projects! We met with a landscaper to discuss our backyard and decided for budget purposes we would do our backyard and front yard in two phases. The first phase was all about the hardscape. Next year we will touch the landscape portion. Here are some befores of our backyard..

So then once the hard scape was done it was time to decorate and I was trying to do it as budget friendly as possible...lets just say garage sales were a HUGE help!! So here are some of the after pictures.. still a work in progress of course but I am super pleased with how it looks! 

Well that's whats we have been up to over in our neck of the woods...more pictures to come as we finalize details etc. As my sweet mother in law would say it's like we just added another room to our house! We cannot wait for all the memories we will make!

Thankful for a home,
