Before and After Pictures of my back patio

Yeah, this isn't makeup related. BUT some of you have homes and/or like to see home improvement projects, especially when you do it yourself rather than hiring pros. Some of you expressed interest in my home decorating and improving, so I wanted to share these photos with you. Here's what our patio looked like when we bought the house:

Not sure why the previous owners added a crappy deck. It was rotted and nails were sticking out of it when we got it. That thing was the first to go! So gross! They left their grill too, which was also thrown out.

Here's what our patio looks like now:

Huge improvement! 

There were umbrella holes in the 2 tables we pushed together to make a larger table. We put solar lights in the umbrella holes for table lighting. Was an after thought but it works really well and looks cool at night.

Fire pit with chairs and tables for cocktails.

This is where the hot tub will go. Oh yeah!

Empty space for when we have large gatherings. Hello BBQ parties! (you can see my insane veggie garden just past the shed)

So there you go. Hope you enjoyed this. I have a few more home projects I will post when I have time. :-)
