House Tour: Back Porch and Backyard

knock out roses growing in our backyard

this summer we decided to work a little bit in our back yard and get it ready it for entertaining. when we first bought the house it looked like this:

remember my faux succulent wall art?

 we got rid of the mulch and added more grass, stones and stepping stones, cleaned out the area around the fire pit and created a seating area with decorative pillows to make it feel cozy. I added the white frame I found at home goods as outdoor wall art. We also added an outdoor dinning table and a hammock.  For the garden areas, we cleaned, replaced mulch for rocks and added a few new plants. I think we got to a good stoping time until next year :-)
