And we’re back! Something buggy was going on with WP that wouldn’t allow me to post yesterday, but she’s up and running again :-).
Time for another catch-up on our curb appeal project for this summer. Our home painting process is moving along slowwwlllyyy… but there is one project around the house that is gaining quite a bit of momentum and that’s the makeover of our side yard (home of a future deck + outdoor dining area! I’m picturing a big farm house table, mismatched flea market chairs and beautiful Moroccan lanterns…).
Before the deck can be built, the brush must be cleared and a block wall is on our to-do list to separate our yard from the neighbors (and to provide a little privacy for above said awesome dining space).
There’s our little side yard from the front of the house, and from the back:
But don’t let that narrow corridor fool you! It’s actually a pretty decent sized space over there.
It’s also quite the jungle…
One. serious. jungle.
I wasn’t sure he’d find his way out, but after hours of pruning and snipping he did – thank goodness.
Dang, look at all of that available room! Now I can begin to picture that great outdoor dining area with plenty of fun lighting hanging from above.
Next up, a wall! and then a deck! and then finally relaxing and fun dinners outside in this beautiful San Diego weather. I’ll keep you posted on the progress.
More outdoor projects can be found right here.
Oh that sounds heavenly! Especially the lanterns hanging from the trees! Can’t wait to see it.
