For nearly a year, we’ve been in the process of reimagining our pool area as a bigger, more multi-functional space.
You first saw it two years ago when we posted this behind-the-scenes of putting in a pool, along with lots of before & afters. We LOVE our pool and this area quickly became our go-to outdoor family hang-out spot. So back in Spring of 2022, we realized we could make it work even harder for us if we did one somewhat simple thing… moved one section of fencing back (thereby doubling the size!).
lounge chairs | adirondack chairs | firepit | similar table | dining chairs | nest chair | solar lights | umbrellas | pillows
It ended up being a bit more than just that, so I’ll take you through the various steps we took to maximize this yard. In short, here’s what we did:
Moved a section of fencing
Built a platform deck to create an outdoor dining space
Poured concrete walkways, stairs, and retaining walls
As part of this overhaul, we also added a driveway and pathways along the front of the house too, and we’re in the process of putting all of those details and photos into another post.
