We Have Grass!
We have grass! The backyard has been graded and sod has been laid. Having the grass in really makes a difference in finishing the yard but there is still more left to do. Once the treated wood finishes drying out I'm excited to stain the pergola. Here are a few detail pictures of it. I just love the design on the end of the rafters.
Frank and I are now starting to shop for furniture for the patio. We found this cuddle set at Costco and loved the large comfortable size and shape. Even though the set is enormous (each chair is about the size of a love seat) it looks pretty small on the large patio. The pillows are from Home Depot that I bought on end of clearance.
Because it is fun to look back, here is what the backyard looked like at the start of the summer. There is still more to do, but I am so happy with how things are shaping up.

Looking very nice, welcoming and comfortable. Amazing how some lawn really picks things up - wait until you get some planters!
Looks terrific! Excited to see how it looks with some flowers and plants. Quite the improvement so far though! Have fun watering :/
Mary-Lou- Thank you! I definitely can't wait to add some planters and plants.
Hilary- Thank you! Frank has been diligently watering the sod to make sure that it takes well. I think we are one mowing away from it looking pretty seamless back there.
Looks nice, love the furniture!
Thank you, Heather!
Looking around for furniture ideas to go with a pergola project I'm working on, I've been looking at furniture stores only... Never thought to go to Costco and Home Depot for the furniture deals... Thanks, Lisa! By the way-Grass is coming in nicely!
