Finishing Touches!

Wow, so much progress in only a few weeks, I have A LOT of photos to post...

Dan worked long and hard to create this incredible arbor for the deck, and it turned out amazing!  And David helped with a lot of the heavy lifting - he's been getting his work outs during the landscaping renovations for sure!
 
 
 

 
Next it was time to move the two Queen Palm trees to their new homes at the corners of the deck...
 
Then we leveled out the side of the back yard (AGAIN), laid landscaping fabric, and created a stone paver pattern.  We filled the open space with crushed salt & pepper marble.
 
 
Dan built us some amazing benches with the leftover wood from the deck; perfect for extra seating for all of the parties we like to have!
 
 
 
Then we had a few final details, like this new house bib! (yay)...
 
 
And this awesome old whiskey barrel we are turning into a table near the firepit seating...
 
 
Plus this new vintage-style porch light...
 
 
And these new front path lights...
 
 
It's all coming together!!  We are working on getting the sod for the front yard in the coming weeks.  And soon we will be unveiling the new yard to our friends in a Backyard BBQ & Beer Tasting!
