A Much Needed Patio Refresh via The Home Depot Patio Style Challenge? Yes Please!

* This post is sponsored by The Home Depot 

It's been two years since we first transformed our very bland backyard to a true outdoor oasis for the Home Depot Patio Style Challenge. So I was thrilled when they asked me to participate in yet another outdoor project. 

We whipped up this design plan. 

Which was kinda inspired by this very dress, featured here in a recent blog post. And voila, our patio is once again looking like the outdoor oasis it deserves to be. All the step by step details are shared over on The Home Depot Blog so please go forth and read!

 As for moi, I'll be out back sipping wine every evening. Cheers.

Home Depot Patio Challenge 2016

I've been MIA for way longer than usual, and with good reason. We've been busy revamping the empty space that once defined our backyard.

Yes, we had lots of grass and plenty of space for Xavier to run around but we had long dreamed of adding some pizazz so we could really enjoy the outdoors. So I was beyond thrilled when we were invited to participate in The Home Depot Patio Challenge. It was just the kick in the rear I needed to get things in high gear to transform our outdoors.
