(My husband has always wanted a fountain, but the ones he liked were kinda pricey. So we found 10+ year old one that someone was giving away for free. It was white and covered in blackish mold, so we washed and painted it Behr's April Mist which is a whitish green color.)
(Again these were free. Someone was giving away an old white set of whicker chairs. The white wasn't us, plus it was turning green. So we cleaned them and used a painted sprayer to paint them Behr's Cozumel)
(Before the sloping. Power washing the patio)
(I love this man!)
(Prepping the fountain area. First we sloped the area, as I shared in an earlier post. then we sprayed weed killer, laid a weed mat, and for now a flimsy plastic boarder which will be exchanged for something more elegant later down the line. )
(Then we filled it with rocks and placed the fountain on a cement slab we had laying around the yard already.)
(A reminder of where we started.)
(The umbrella finishes it off and adds much needed shade.)
(We love our little area. It was super cheap and easy to accomplish. So many people neglect their outside space, when they can make it just as enjoyable as an indoor area. Think of it as outside living. Now for a bbq grill!)
( The pink carnations were a cute idea while they lasted, but they all ended up dying. I like the area without them anyway. All we need now are some lights to string across for the evenings.)
