Backyard Paradise

I am so happy to be able to go outside and sit in my backyard again! Warm weather is my friend.

I like the seating bench off the side of house. And that waterfall! Small area but very cozy.

YES PLEASE! I’ll take one of these dining areas like above. I bet it is an extremely large project. And expensive. But so nice to have company over and eat!

Very small area but it looks amazing.

Here is the upstairs porch to this same home:

I hope you have enjoyed and maybe found an idea or two to try in your backyard. Hooray for outdoor backyard living!

Thanks everyone! Kelly xo
