Buying a new house is a PROJECT. We bought a 5 bed, 3 bath home in a great neighborhood about a year ago. There are always things that need to be "done" but the good news it's habitable. On top of that, we could house a few guests for awhile [with beds and everything!]. I have SO much to do on my "to do" list that it seems daunting. I literally forgot we even had a backyard until my lovely FIL bought us a beautiful patio furniture set with a fire pit to boot. There have been long talks about extending our little 10x10 concrete slab but nothing has been done as of yet.
What I would love to walk out to [a girl can dream...]
What I could walk out to [nothing crazy - definitely attainable]
What I walk out to [ya....]
So needless to say, we have our work cut out for us. I love that we back up to a protected forest so they can never build there. DH is working on getting the grass "greener" aka I'm pretty sure he's using it as an excuse not to mow - but who knows. Our dog has torn that backyard up with his crazy running around so DH has filled in the bare spots and we are waiting [and waiting..and waiting..literally to watch grass grow]. I have a bunch of DIY projects in the works.
How cool is this? I want to do that along the back part of the fence. I need to amp up my wine drinking. Done and done.
We definitely want to extend the patio but until money magically appears then, we are going to take that bare area next to the house that used to have some pine straw stuff our builder used [which gunner ate within a day]...and we are going to put mulch to match the front. What do you guys think? Any ideas? I would love to hire someone to actually design a backyard space for us - it would be such a selling feature down the road [at least that's what I tell DH].
