Backyard overhall

10 years ago we bought our block because it is the biggest in the court, right down the end where it's quiet and private and of course lots of room for that large pool and beautiful green grass and play equipment for our future kids.

That was in 2002.

We have lived in our home for 8 years this December, we had high hopes and dreams for our future in our new home when we first moved in, you think our yard would be wonderful after 8 years right? That's what we thought to our selves too.

The way our house sits on our block we kind of had 2 backyards. We have a side yard and then we have a backyard, which as the name may suggest, it's behind the house.

Lets take a look a the side yard first.

Not long after we moved in

After 6 months of living in our home

And this is the backyard......

About 3 years of living in our home

After 5 years living in our home... our yard was still terrible

Hideous.I. know! What can I say, our eyes were bigger then our bank account.

So what happened next?

LOTS! and I finally have some fun and much nicer pictures for you to all look at over the coming days.
I'll give you a little hint, the yard doesn't look anything like it does in these pictures, you may even think it's a different yard.

I hope my interior design style has oozed outside and you all enjoy the next few weeks of updates.
