Sorry I haven't posted in a while. With DD going off to college, I have lots of projects to tackle, just have to decide which ones to do first! I finished up a few quilts, and then was working on this special project.
A month ago we went to my Mom's for her birthday. She had lunch on her patio and while it was nice I noticed that her patio was a little sad. I asked her if she ever came out to use it, and she said no! Well looking around, I wouldn't either! So it was decided we would redo Mom's patio, and since it was the end of summer I was going to hit all the clearance sales!
Here is a before:
A little crowded and a little dull. So here is what we came up with. DH came along for his muscle!
A nice seating area for conversation. The bench was on the front porch never used. Added some color with rugs and her favorite color, purple, with plants.
A dining area with a new table and chairs. She came out to see it before she left for the day. Was totally surprised by how much bigger it looked.
Added a few candles and a lantern for ambiance. Love how it turned out. I did a few planters as well so she has lots of color and used a few different sages and salvias for the hummingbirds.
I am glad we could help give her something she can enjoy. Hopefully for many years to come.
Have a great weekend.
Toodles,
Laura
