backyard changes

In August, the Markussens gave us an old patio table that they no longer needed and the idea on how to revamp it. The original table had a glass top and the chairs had reached the end of their lives. We found some chairs that we liked at Target that were a great deal. We ditched the glass and painted the frame of the table to match the chairs. Then we stained pine slats for the new top. All in all it came out really well and now we have matching patio furniture with the YMs. :) (Thanks to Stu, Sarah and Kori for the inspiration.)

In October, Mommy and Daddy needed to make room for the pool, so we took apart and transported the trampoline up to Dallas. It was an interesting task, but Ryan and I got it back together on our own. I am so excited to have it in our yard!

I mentioned this in another post, but we also added some Zoysia grass in the back as we are still having issues keeping grass alive... we'll see how it fares, but it sure was pretty when we put it down.

Then, in November, the Gerbs gave us an old TV stand that they no longer wanted. We repurposed it to add a little out door storage for the deck. I wanted to do a fun color since it was going outside, so we decided on a bright teal. We also finally hung the dart board that Ryan got as a groomsman gift in the Markussen wedding. The deck is really coming together!
