Our new patio is complete! Our cottage has a front porch but we really wanted to increase the outdoor enjoyment of our property. We felt that a private and sheltered patio would be a great addition.
It all started with a small gazebo, the perfect size to complement our tiny cottage. We walked into Home Depot last summer and fell in love with the gazebo that was set up there. It has metal posts that look like wood and the metal roof was perfect for the shade that the patio would need.
The way our property slopes near the cottage lends itself perfectly to a sunken patio. To increase privacy and wind protection, we decided to build a fence around the whole area. This way the patio can be enjoyed in spring, summer and fall.
The outdoor furniture was purchased last fall, and John has been busy every since (whenever able) to complete the project. Just last week we assembled and placed the furniture. The plan is to add electricity and outdoor lights yet, but the patio is finally ready for our guests to fully enjoy. We are thrilled with the way this project has come together and we are confident that are guests will love it too!
