Backyard Project

Now that we have (nearly) finished our front yard project, it’s time to tackle our backyard! Yes, the work of a homeowner never ends. The backyard is something we will need to focus all our attention on, as it is the backdrop for my 30th birthday party this year. Aside from refinishing and fixing our pool, I want to add some decorative touches to make it a little more lively, and more “us.” For this reason, I put together a fun little mood board with some great items I am currently lusting over! I figured I would share it with you all since summer is quickly approaching and I’m sure I’m not the only one dreaming of long, sunny days lounging outside by my pool, right?

So it’s pretty evident that the hubs and I have pretty clear plans of what we have in mind with each room in our new home and our office is no different. This will mainly be the hubs’ haven so he got artistic control, but I absolutely loved his ideas and what he wanted to do with the space. Being a designer, he was looking for a neutral work space to not clutter his environment so that it wouldn’t hamper his creativity. I just ordered this amazing white wash floor from Lumber Liquidators to keep with the clean, sleek look of the room:

These are also some great inspiration pictures that have tickled our pickles:
