A few things to start, 1: J got off work a little early yesterday, and just by having that extra hour we were able to go to the dog park and have a huge water play session in the backyard with Bray and the dogs. Can work end every day early, please?! 2: I shouldn’t even tell y’all this because it hurts my chances of winning, but I think its so fun. Emily Henderson is running a fun Instagram contest. Go check out her post about it if you want to enter. I have loved searching through all the hashtags for it- so really inspiring pieces in there.
I’m so pleased with how this makeover has gone. Unlike San Clemente ocean view homes, this property required a lot of work to be done on it before it felt like our own! Without further ado, here is my dream backyard. Seriously. I know everybody has different aspirations for their own backyard, but this is mine. Some people might want to contact an artificial grass company and get an outdoor turf area instead of going through the hassles of growing and maintaining actual grass. And that’s fine. It’s worth realising that you too can have the backyard of your dreams, as long as you can find the right people to provide it for you. Therefore, you might be interested in looking into a company like Eden Design, who specialize in landscape architecture. If you’re looking for your dream yard, a team of professionals like them could be the answer to all of your problems.
How stunning are those Russell Woodard chairs!?
The center table here is actually a fire-pit but they are clever little minds and when its gets too warm in Phoenix for fires, they lay the beautiful marble over it and turn it in to a beautiful coffee table.
Yes, Kylie is the next freaking Martha Stewart, except with a little flair to her style;) She has three huge raised beds and various other plants elsewhere. She even has a little decking area with some lounge furniture too, perfect for reading your favorite book in the sun. I didn’t quite catch a snap of it though as she had guys over who offer deck sanding services and I didn’t want to interrupt their hard work just to take a picture. The winter months can really take their toll on any decking so it’s something that has to be maintained in order to look nice. Next time I’ll be sure to take a picture and show you!
Now I don’t want to overload you guys, but I just can’t wait to show you the remaining rooms of the house. Here is their little mans room:
Yes, you are thinking right. We have the same rocker as them. Yes, they had it first! We just lucked out when we found ours at an auction for $25.
Because what little boys room is complete without a teepee these days?!
And to finish it off for today, heres the guest bath:
I adore the look of having the shower curtain be more like a normal curtain. Totally changes the vibe. Is vibe even a commonly used word anymore? It should be if its not!
I didn’t know until I saw this in their house, just how much I love when toilet paper is displayed incredibly. Until then I was fine with the standard decorative pole of some sort, but now- well now I was something rad when we re-do our bathroom {you know, in 5 years!}
There you have it friends. If that backyard alone didn’t make you drool a little- I don’t know what would. Can I tell you the best part about this home though? Its not the amazing kitchen island or the luxurious master suite, its not even the backyard that makes you feel like you are in another world…its the people. Ryan and Kylie have the biggest hearts. They love on others at all times, and do it well. They constantly have their home open to people, always willing to host any and all occasions {thanks for hosting Brays 1st birthday!!!}. We love them, if you couldn’t tell;)
What is your favorite part of their home so far? I am always interested to see if the things that blow me away are the same for you! Oh ya, and happy Friday!!!
I love this!!!! so very simple and so very stylish!!!! computer tables shown here are very attractive. I use to buy online console tables wood i really like to read this blog.
