Backyard remodel!

Our backyard has come such a long way from when we moved in!  Our backyard had a huge garden directly in the middle and a big kids play set that the previous owners left.  We sold the play set on Craigslist to a nice family with a toddler who would put it to good use before we can.

I didn't take a great "before" shot, but you can see the garden and swing set through the windows in this living room shot.  The garden was in such an awkward place and it took up so much room!

Here is the "after" shot with the garden and play set gone.  It feels so much bigger and open!

We also added a fire pit for the cool fall nights.  We bought the stone from Lowes and Drew put it together.  I love it!!
