This is incredible! I'm participating in the 2014 HomeDepot Patio Style Challenge! I'm in cloud nine with this news and can't wait to start doodling and implementing my ideas. Thank you so much Whitney for reaching out to me and my blog! I'm sure this journey is going to be so much fun. If you all want to see some great inspirational ideas on patios, visit the Home Depot Pinterest board for amazing ideas to get you started in you own home. I've been pinning few of my web findings in this board along a magnificent group of bloggers. Seriously, this board is a must see!
Here I'm leaving you with a before photo of how my area looks at the moment. Though my space is a small urban patio in the city (which makes this challenge more appealing and fascinating to me), I'm sure that many of you will relate to this project. So stay tuned for more updates and in the meantime you can visit my Instagram account for more teasers on this. Let's do this!
