When a hurricane hit us last August,there was a lot of damage. When we begain putting things back together we added and changed a lot of things. We have an entry from the master bedroom that leads to the deck & patio. Having moved from the Southwest to NC I found myself missing the desert, so I created my own. Our hot tub sits in the deck. We put in a new gazebo, added a section of fence so we could have a shar pei free area. No more dogs joining us in the hot tub, lol. Flower beds will soon be sprouting hostas along side of the dining area and caladiums will grace the area under the pecan tree A planting bench is connected to the house with access to the watering hose. I found metal wall art from yard sales. Extra seating came from a business that was remodeling. Our table and chairs is a reclaimed set with new paint and cushions. A good friend helped with the labor intensive part and this morning we began the finishing touches. We look forward to enjoying this area this summer and pray that we don't have another hurricane to hit us.
