Square Backyard Transformation

Square to Savoir Faire is exactly what this little humdinger of a backyard became. Once a square lawn bordered with bark dust and flowerbeds, it was rejuvenated into a design-savvy-want-to-hang-out-in outdoor living space. Bonus: This the Nicest Family Ever.

Once you meet these genuine-real-deal homeowners and walk through the back gate – a pathway leads you by a perfect shed, next by a unique kids play station with rock-climb wall and then, by a stand-out garden. (The Photographer and the Missus talked garden tips for an hour!) These three entryway features are excellent additions to the bones of the backyard.

Let’s talk about them bones . . . Center stage is the outdoor living room with plenty of seats. Comfy furnishings sit in a circle with plenty of tables for food & drinks & stuff. A long Bar Kitchen with Grill borders the room under the covered structure and bar stools make bellying up to the bar easy! Or you may want a leisurely meal. Choose a modern-Adirondack chair at the outdoor dining table under the umbrella. These chairs double as sit-back-&-relax-chairs . . . so after dinner, relax and shoot the breeze.

As dusk approaches gather ’round the firepit for dessert – Smores! Kids of all ages should enjoy this age-old fire watching treat.
