One of the first weekends after buying the house we HAD to get busy landscaping our front yard. It was hard to pull up to the house and be inspired when the outside was so yucky. The brown grass, the lack of flower beds, and dead rose bushes had to go. One busy Saturday and the yard was completely turned around. Matt loves his yard. The neighbors complement him on it alot ... I kinda get jealous haha. It looks great. Even though summer is starting to get the best of it :(
So now it's the backyard's turn. A couple of months ago I drew up this landscape design ...
These are a few of the fillers for areas ... I LOVE texture in plants
So I created a design board on my new favorite thing ... my iPad.
I absolutely love the idea of an Outdoor Living space.
This resin wicker sofa with white plush cushions is my favorite. Chartreuse green throw pillows complement the outdoor elements. I imagine having a covered area over the sofas, planked by two black and white striped drapery panels. A candle chandelier hanging from the ceiling to illuminate the art work. Modern adironrack chairs to surround the firepit and snuggle up to!
I did not even attempt to pick out a grill for Matt, that will be his department. But I can totally see us entertaining with this space. Coming Fall 2011, hopefully :)
