    Taryn, congratulations on the baby! That’s so exciting. And I’m sugar fan, and ate lots of it when I was pregnant with my girls. From the looks of your picks, you might be having a girl too!!! I hope you’re feeling well.

Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard furniture and decor! Unfortunately, when I get an idea I can’t stop until it’s done 😉. I got an itch to swap out our three chaise lounges for a large U-Shape sectional to create more seating and lounging poolside. I knew there was only one brand who could make this happen… I worked with @polywood to design a sectional that would be a complete custom fit for this little nook. I used the Braxton 6 Seat Sectional and added additional modular seats to get this look. I LOVE how it turned out! They can make anything happen! 

POLYWOOD outdoor furniture is made out of recycled plastics, making it durable in all weather climates. They also have a 20 year warranty.

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

My @worxtools Switch Driver and Impact Driver were the real MVP’s of this project! Saving me time and energy. I love how it now doubles as a shelf to display antiques I’ve collected throughout the years and also helps me keep this place organized!
