Sweat Equity Exterior COMPLETED!

 5 months in the making. I'm not sure I have much else to say, other than: "We are not doing this again for a long, long time to come." And, "Worth the work!"

Our finished abode!

Back Side of House
Back Patio, Grill Area, and Fire pit
I spy with my little eye, two bulldogs sitting pretty....


I'm loving that my garden is in full bloom, and LOVING this new camera!!!
I heart my Salvia, it blooms a frosty gray and turns to lilac
Even my shadow is enjoying this project being complete.
 
One of my favorite pieces in my garden: French Lavender and Spanish Lavender in an old wheel barrel
Oh, and I forgot to mention, that potting bench I finished? BEST THING EVER! We moved it directly next to the grill and it has become such a life saver. No more running in and out of the kitchen to find items, no more lugging plates up and down the stairs. Most importantly, no more distraction from my relaxation time in the backyard with pesky things like "dishes" or "cooking". Isn't that why we got the grill? So I could relax with a glass of wine by the fire? That was my understanding...Plus, the color is perfect, and I found a bench to match it. That's right, my life is now complete :)
