Outdoor Inspiration

I was over at my parent’s house this past weekend doing a little payback for all the work my Dad did on the rental house for us.  My parents are in the home stretch of a backyard renovation.  Some of my best memories growing up took place in this backyard and now I see my own children making memories here too – there’s nothing better!

I don’t have any before shots, but a lot of you reading this spent time here growing up as well and are familiar with the layout.  For those of you who didn’t, the pool area stayed the same.  Mostly the flower beds changed up there.  The main focus was on the side yard.  It was basically a flat, weeded mess.  Well not anymore…

My dad built the retaining wall and laid the flagstone path.

My mom’s Confederate Jasmine on the fence is gorgeous and smells great!

Did I mentioned that my parent’s did all the work themselves?!
