Courtyard and Deck Reveal

Happy Christmas, My Lovelies!

I wanted to share our latest rather large project.  In July, Mr. Art @ Home hired a conman contractor to build a patio, back garden, and update our deck area. It was a complete nightmare.  He ran off with our money left before finishing the job, and NONE of the work was to code.

We then hired a reputable and capable contractor who first ripped-out everything the other contractor had done, and then redesigned the space for our needs.  Here is the reveal!

Here are a few of the planters:

We had to contend with two "builds," one after the other.  It took over five months, and the noise was a huge distraction while trying to homeschool. The project was completed just a couple of days ago, and I'm so thankful to have it complete and built very well by professionals.  We are enjoying it so much!

I am done with major projects for a very long time.  Truly!  ;P
Until next time...
Blessings!
