Patio Before and After









No Spencer, the wall is not the color you picked. (There is enough band aid color here as it is!)
This is patio wall color #2 (or #3 if you count the color it was when I moved in). It looks bluer in the pictures than in life, it is actually more periwinkle. Still not the perfect color, but it is the color it's going to stay for quite some time.

I keep waiting for the finished perfect patio iteration, but I'm thinking this will always be a work in progress. So, here is how it looks today. (It looks extra cute at night with the twinkly christmas lights, but those are hard to photograph)

The two little plant close ups are to show the plants Aleta dug and planted for me while she was here, and also to show her how many river rocks I've managed to appropriate in the past few weeks.

Now to get a my drip system up and running before it is time to get out of here.

I'll be doing that at night now, since we are comfortably settled in the 90s.

WOW!
That looks fantastic! LOVE the color. The accents, the flowers, the rocks, the furniture...It's SO fun!
It definitely has your flair.
Way to go! Now I need to come see it in person...but not perhaps when it's in the 90's... though I'd be thrilled to have one day or so in the 60's at this point of the spring.

(Ok. the word verification is "botox" no lie! Must be significant eh? :0)

I was just thinking that it had been a while since you'd done a post. And I can see why! I LOVE that wall! It looks so great.

Oh, and Chloe and Leyla want to come see you and hang out by the blue and purple wall.

I think it looks awesome. Spencer is disagreeing, but what does he know?! I wouldn't mind a day or two in the 90 myself--in fact I would settle for a day or two in the 60s! It looks like a great place to hang out for sure.
