#7: Trees and Nature

| These are the trees in our side yard. Forest preservation area, so they are staying! |
We have beautiful trees in our side yard, but our whole neighborhood is covered in trees. It is absolutely beautiful. On top of that there are families of deer and tons of bunnies always running around. Sometimes I feel like I am in a fairy tale! There are lakes, hiking/nature trails...it's just wonderful.
#6: New Patio

We love being able to sit outside, relax, and listen to the nature sounds. I am so happy we could do this so soon and we have really been taking advantage of it! The kids love having a direct route to their play set outside, too! The neighbors come over when they see us out there and it has been great! So happy we have a yard big enough to do this! One day we'd like to expand it around the back, for now, we love this!

You may have already covered this somewhere on your blog... but what is the size of your patio? Everything looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Brandon! Our patio is 20x13 (hopefully I got that in the right order!). Perfect size for large eating table, fire pit, and a comfy chair!
DeleteIm looking at your pics of patio and im mad!! LOL, I told my hubby we didnt need to have a pillar to end the sitting wall, we have two big pillars that end our sitting walls. I think it was total over kill but hubby insisted, it has turned into HIS project. Gesh! I like small accent details, he wants LOOK AT ME details!
ReplyDeleteSo I just love your sitting wall, wait till you see mine, you will just shake your head!
Show an updated pic with the firepit, i'd love to see it.
LOL! Thanks! We kept it simple to keep costs down and still get what we wanted ;-) The fire pit isn't built in, just a regular one you buy at Lowes. We wanted to make sure we could move it around. Will take some pics tonight!
DeleteDW, YOU ARE TOO FUNNY!
DeleteELISE, Isn't awesome to catch those nature views???? I love it! It's nice to see the projects moving along in your home. Your house has definitely turned into a home. :-) I have the deck/patio on my wish list. Nice to see you and DW with yours installed.
ReplyDeleteHello Elise, perfect timing.. We are planning to have our patio done soon. Our idea was very similar without that sitting wall. After seeing yours,I couldn't resist!! Do you mind to share where you got your materials and how much it costed for the project? Thanks
