From our last post, we took advantage of Sunday's sunny weather to tackle project #2. What was a gray, cold rear patio was transformed into something warm and welcoming. How do you think it turned out?
It looks great!! Our back "yard" is about the same size as your (at least from what I can see in these pics) but we haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. It is on the TO DO list for later this summer though. Thanks for the inspiration!
It all started four years ago with a front door….we wanted (and then needed!) a new one. But if we get a new front door, we should get new front windows as well…and the rear windows need to be replaced …and we’ve always intended to remodel the third floor…and the boiler’s dead, we might as well get that ripped out of there... Like pulling a thread in a sweater, our desire for a new front door has turned into just about a whole house renovation.
The Cast of Characters:
Marisa - Real women parallel park. This cul-de-sac kid quickly shed the hum drum of the suburbs for city chic. Onboard for some major renovation without the wrecking ball hitting the bank account. AKA-the Financier.
Steve - All things city. Grew up a country kid, but found "where it's at" was in the city. The glue behind the project, keeping everyone sane while blending 1900 historic with 21st century green. AKA-the Dreamer
Ferris - the dog. Mutt. As long as there is food in the bowl and walks in the park, up for anything. Will miss eating the lead paint.
Shenzi - cat 1. Cannot be bothered by this disruption in her lifestyle. Although prissy, can handle some dust and dirt.
Sambuca - cat 2. Doesn't deal well with change. Big, black, and bold, but a baby when it comes to destruction and dust.
