Backyard Patio Design

Hi Everyone

 Happy Saturday

♥

Do you like vintage brick like I do

 brick adds such a classic  old world charm 

When we designed our backyard patio we incorporated

used brick as well as stone and cement  all these elements

 give the appearance the patio has been
  added onto from generation to generation

Don't be afraid to mix elements

 you are not limited  

{Love} 

When we decided to add a backyard patio 

it was fun
to explore the possibilities

the built in BBQ is stone with brick

 and even has a cement counter top

It has a wonderful patina and is so simple to clean 

 you can just spray it down with a hose

The brick patio off of our living room is where we enjoy dining alfresco

Adding the brick patio was really like adding another room to our home

 we enjoy being outside all year round

The great part about being able to create your own design 

is adding your own ideas 

that make you happy

Being able to enhance the way you live 

and making every space beautiful

romantic saying for today

"Since love grows within you, so beauty grows. 
For Love is the beauty of the soul"

Summer Fun

Hi Everyone

 Happy Tuesday

♥

Summer is here 

and last night we had our first summer BBQ  of the season

{Love}

to dine Al Fresco on the back patio 

  this year in the garden we have 

another bumper crop of apricots, plums

and apples

as well as sugar snap peas , tomatoes and artichokes

Yellow cucumber buds

 are  blooming

Apples on the tree

The freshly painted white adirondack chairs

 are ready for some summer fun and relaxation

Here in Southern California the weather can be funny in June

 because we live close to the beach we get what is called June gloom

it is a coastal fog that can keep the weather cool especially in the mornings

the fog can burn off 

sometimes

and  it gets very warm in the afternoons

it is perfect weather for the plants

We put the flags in the basket 

 for Memorial day 

and now we are also ready for flag day and
 the 4th of July!!!

are you ready for some summer fun
