Creating an Outdoor Living Space

Written By Katie

Mike and I are in the process of “renovating” our backyard.  We’re making new gardens, planting new plants, basically trying to spruce up the yard now that we’ve been there for almost a full year.  We love spending time outside grilling and just hanging out in the summer and my goal is to really make it a comfy place to be.  I know this will take time, but I have enjoyed pulling ideas from other blogs and people and holding on to them as inspiration for this place in our home.

Enter Erin ever After and her DIY Succulent Chandelier.  It is stunning and absolutely perfect.  I’ve been trying to figure out how to add succulents to my back yard, and this is perfect.  I think I may transition it to hang elsewhere as we don’t have a good area on the patio to hang from, but the idea is golden!   It only needs to be hanging at a point where the husband won’t hit his head mowing the yard!  I just love the candles in the bell jars, the potted succulents, and the fact that it is a pot rack that they sit on!  I know we could find one of those at the antique mall.

I see a spring project in my future!
