The Patio

This weekend, we finished our back patio! Our goal was to make the space more comfortable and welcoming- particularly for entertaining, day or night.

We sold our little balcony-sized dining set and snatched up the Applaro table & 8 chairs from our Ikea. They were a month late coming in stock & within a week they sold out, so I'm thrilled we were able to grab a set! We strung 2 sets of frosted glass globe lights that we snagged at Target for some party flare. And the biggest project- we fit an Ikea Regolit shade with a canopy & down rod (so it wouldn't blow in the wind) & then hardwired it into the wall light. Jesse did an amazing job with hanging & wiring it!

We now have a patio that feels more like a room- with a much more efficient use of space & welcoming atmosphere. We love it- especially with the weather really warming up! If you live near us, be assured- you'll be invited over for a summer cook out! ;)
