So now our porch is a little less crowded and our patio is great for summer parties or for nights when Brian and I want to sit outside and relax after the kids go to bed. The umbrella has solar lights on it and the lanterns in the planter boxes are solar powered as well; no need to pay for electricity there!
So come on out and visit us this summer! I love barbecuing and now we have a great place to hang out outside. We still have the sandbox, Brian moved it further back into the yard. Hope all of you are having a great summer!
Brian picked out these perrinials at Home Depot; they all do very well in our hot Virginia summers and they are pretty too! Brian has good taste! In the middle of planters is the bench seat where up to 4 people can sit! I know stone will be hard to sit on so I do plan to find a nice cushion.
View from the porch. We will be putting in a 6' fountain and once we get that going Brian plans to tile the inside wall with some pretty glass tiles to add some color. I can't wait to get the fountain! I LOVE the sound of water....
View from the patio...Finally we got the recliners off the porch and now I can sun bathe; as if I didn't need to get tanner right:-) We get such good sun in that area in the afternoon, now I can relax, if that is possible, and maybe the 3 kids can play in the yard! I will let you know if that ever happens. But for now a great place for visitors to sit and get out of the noisy house:-) Just kidding...but yes for those of you coming out to visit now you have another place to relax. I think I am going to change our house to a luxury hotel, what do you think?
