Well a couple weeks ago I showed you our new stamped concrete patios and then our DIY fire pit, but now it’s time to see the entire back patio makeover, complete with furniture, flowers and a bit of color…

back stamped concrete patioSince we have two patios with the way our house sits on the land, this lower patio I wanted as more of a lounging area with couches and chairs… and of course our fire pit.

Cushions weren’t included but I found these colorful pillows at Target. Kinda loving how the colors pop in the backyard.

And see my hastas and boxwoods? Yeah, that’s about as greenthumb as I get.

    Looks like an enjoyable outdoor space! I’m jealous of your stamped concrete patio…love the look!! I have a similar woods view…we live in a subdivision, but have woods on two sides of us. (We get some deer and turkey visitors) I hated gardening until a couple years ago…slowly getting into it now. Glad my husband doesn’t mind it!

      We chose this lot because of the woods. Feels like a bit of privacy in a subdivision! And I make my hubby do all the gardening too 😉
