I love all of the plants you have! Brian is definitely on top of all of that. I so wish I was good at it. I started last year but I find it hard here in Florida because of the heat and all of the rain and humidity. Ugh! I started creating my back patio in September. It was just this outdoor space between our yard and the sliding glass doors and a friend of mine who blogs mentioned she could help me. We started a private Pinterest board. She asked me to take a picture of my favorite pieces of jewelry so I did and she went from there. As she started adding pictures to the board, I started adding and together we realized a vision of colors and concepts. I will send you a picture via instagram so you can see where I am right now. I still need a few things, but the overall idea really come together and we didn't spend too much.
Is there a way you could paint your existing furniture? One of the things I am always trying to do is turn stuff into other stuff. I am not extremely creative in that way but with I am trying. If you could find the right paint you could paint the wicker or whatever the couch is made of, and you could get either new cushions or get them covered and you could add different pillows.
I love the patch of grass you made for Frank. It's perfect!
The bottom several photos seem to reflect you, a lot better than the Big Old Sofa.
Love the planters in your inspiration photos!!! But really I wasn't paying attention to much except Frank.
Great pictures and great plans!
I am dreaming of my dream patio space now – thanks so much for sharing and for the inspiration 🙂 Happy Day – Happy Relaxing!!!
So jealous of that baby tomato plant already – it's about to snow here. Love this space- looking forward to seeing what you do! Also: FRANK'S HYDRANT.
