Two years after
moving into our house and we’re finally FINALLY doing something about the back
yard, or as I like to call it, our Beer Garden. This project has been a long
time coming and it’s in no way done, but baby steps J Last weekend
Max and I hung the beautiful string lights I’ve been daydreaming about since we
moved in. Since I lost last month at Wine Club, I had to host this month. This
gave us the perfect excuse to get our butt in gear and make the backyard space
a little more homey, and closer to what we envision down the road.
We hung the
string lights on Saturday, and just my luck, Monday we were hit with not one,
but TWO torrential downpours, aggressive winds and the threat of tornadoes.
GREAT!! Luckily, Max, being the handyman he is, reinforced the lights very
well! Those suckers stayed put and after all was said and done, looked awesome
for Wine Club (Sangria themed!) last week!! Max even had the great idea of
staining the staircase for a little something extra! I could not believe how
much it changed the space! I’m in love and I can’t wait to do more!!
Our efforts paid
off and the backyard was a perfect place to host Wine Club. The weather was
beautiful and the company even more so! Each and every sangria I tasted I gave the
highest honor… a 5! What can I say, I really did love them all! Most were
homemade recipes that I will have to try out sometime. I was not so creative
and played it safe, but I’m thinking another sangria party is in my future!!
Clink to
sangria, summer and string lights!
