We wanted a more private area! |
Here is the view on the other side of the fireplace before H put up the clothes line. The white sheets are easily hung for privacy....or we can leave them down for a more open look. |
I made a few changes on the deck....I hung a wreath on the tree and added some dragon flies. |
I have the table all set for a nice lunch.... |
Here is before and after pictures.... |
I added a chandy over the table and changed out the decor on the fireplace mantle. |
Great idea for privacy and it looks beautiful Penny. I've been working on my porch setting all morning- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Penny... We planted Leland Cypress trees for privacy and we are almost there. Your idea rocks. So romantic!

ReplyDeleteGreat idea, Penny! I know I've said this before but it is just such a blessing to read about all the things you and your husband do together. I love this time I'm in now with lots of little ones and not a lot of quiet time with my husband, but I am also looking forward to the days where we can enjoy a leisurely dinner together outside. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful day!
