j o y / h o m e : When you have a dream… Been dreaming of creating this vision in our backyard since we first laid eyes on this lot, (that before video being our first time walking the backyard as new homeowners) and we could not be happier with the outcome! Here we put in a pool, built a covered patio that reflects the style and interior of our home and added a balcony on top (coming off of the master bedroom.) We removed the bay windows and straightened out the wall so we could get more space for our pool with the set backs & a larger walkway while also creating more counter space for the kitchen on the interior. We replaced many of the windows and doors with custom pass through windows and added glass bi-fold doors (off both the patio & balcony.) We love that they open all the way up really giving us that indoor/outdoor feel. We added siding to this entire area, and ship lap to the ceilings in the covered areas. We ran a gas line, so we could install our professional grade bbq where it would be most functional (in between the pass through windows centering it with the heart of the kitchen on the interior.) We installed quartzite as the countertop on either side of the bbq and as our backsplash. We poured concrete as our pavers and installed turf surrounding them. We also installed a patch of turf off the patio, that we’ll eventually be putting a couple of lounge chairs on for sunbathing. So much more to come to this area of our outdoor space… Including installation of our hanging porch swings and a custom fireplace on the far corner of the wrap around porch. (Also dying for the landscape to grow in) Plus LOTS of exciting things to come on our (much larger) side yard, (a pool house, dining area, built in firepit area, raised vegetable garden, turf for bocci & so much more) I hope you follow along to see the progress!
