I CANNOT wait to style and design my backyard patio with the modern farmhouse style of my home. We are just waiting for our concrete to get poured and our yard to be seeded and finished. The anticipation of having a yard during the summer is killing me.
The kids are going crazy because we really can’t play in our own yard. In some ways, I feel like I’m living in an apartment because we have to go to parks, other people’s yards, or for walks to enjoy the outdoors. I’m dreaming of the day when I can sit in a cozy spot on my backyard covered patio while the kids play in the yard.
Soon, soon enough! It will all be worth it when it’s finished. But rain and busy construction delays are wearing on my patience!
In the meantime, I’ve been scouring the web for patio furniture and decor that will fit out backyard area. We have a covered or roofed patio area off our kitchen and then we’ll have an uncovered textured concrete patio next to that. This is the inspiration for the covered patio area. I want to create a cozy spot for the entire family to enjoy.
I envision cuddling up with blankets at dusk and watching the fireflies come out to play. I imagine big bowls of ice cream being enjoyed with music playing in the background. I see a good book being read while a candle burns. I anticipate enjoying a delicious cheese board and a glass of wine with friends. But mostly, I just see a spot where our little family of four can hangout in our backyard breathing in the fresh air and making family memories together.
What’s your favorite thing about your backyard?! I’d love to read in the comments!
