Ugh. The artificial turf makes me so sad. Not environmentally friendly; that plastic will last for thousands of years. The rest is lovely, especially the jacaranda tree against the dark fence.

In reply to Lisa. Hi Lisa, Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled that you love the fire pit and the sectional. They create a cozy and comfortable spot to enjoy the outdoors. I used the ground cover to add some texture and color to the space. I wanted to create a simple but beautiful, warm and inviting area for people to enjoy. Thanks for taking the time to look at the photographs and the details of the materials and plants! Best, Kelly

This is perfection! You’ve captured what I’ve been trying to visualize for our backyard and patio makeover. This is definitely going to be inspiration for us. We’re in TX, so we really appreciate the detail. The astroturf won’t work here, and now I know why I don’t see it being used much. I can’t wait to peruse the rest of your blog. I can tell I’m going to be a fan.

Hi Kelly,

If you were to list your readers by most time they have read this article, then I will top that list. 🙂 I LOVE LOVE your taste and specially those tiles. I am working on my backyard and thinking to install the same tile. I want to know how is your experience so far with kids spilling food and stuff on the tile? Are you able to keep them clean , specially as they are white?

Thank you in advance.

In reply to Michelle. They also have solar Edison lights that you can string across your backyard.
