I’ve been a very bad blogger lately and I hope you all will forgive me!  On the upside we got a lot done with our outdoor space the past few weeks… but as Paula Deen would say, the proof is in the pudding y’all, so let’s get right to some pictures!

Let me just remind you what we were originally working with. Our beloved mulch patio.

Now for the afters:

All in all, we’re loving the new pea gravel addition to our patio,  it’s so much more useful and just makes the entire patio feel so much bigger.  I’m especially loving the two distinct outdoor living areas – dining & lounging!

The white chairs were a wonderful steal from a recent antiquing trip to Essex MA (more on that some other time) and I really think they are quite at home out here! I’m considering spraying them a fun color but for now I think they’ll stay white.

It’s a work in progress though…things we still want include a nice big umbrella for our patio table, a new wooden fence, and more comfortable  seating for the new fire pit area.  I better start this wish list asap!

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
