Jamily's Dream Renovation

I have to be honest, I’m not sure I could pick just one place in my home to renovate! I love our home and we make it work for us! Without seeming unsatisfied, I will say that I wish I could spend more time outside. Our backyard is just large enough for our family of 6, fenced and backs up to a thicket of trees. When the wind blows you can hear the sound of those trees swishing around, it’s lovely. Sometimes when I’m working on my computer, I stop and look out the window into our backyard and wish I could just work out there all day. I would make our deck larger, add a bigger seating area, a separate section for our grill and smoker, and definitely include a bench swing. Living in Florida for many years has taught me that a screen around the outdoor entertainment area is key to minimize the leaves and debris that comes with our hurricane season. There’s something about breathing fresh air that improves your mood, if you haven’t been able to spend time outside this season, I encourage you to do so! Renovating your outdoor space not only allows you to work outside, like so many people do in 2021, but it also gives you, your family and friends a place to gather on cool spring nights!

Erica's Dream Renovation

It's really hard to pick just one dream renovation because my pinterest board proves I have a lot of home dreams BUT, if I haveee to choose I'm going with a backyard makeover. First and foremost, I would add an in-ground pool with a tanning ledge. I'd probably also add a pool heater so I don't have to stop the fun when we get those 3-4 cold months. Next up - an outdoor kitchen complete with a brick pizza oven (I'm drooling just thinking about all the good food we would make) and a covered space to add a big table for all the friends and family we would have over. I want string lights galore and maybe even a couple of palm trees to really make me feel like I'm in my very own paradise. I can't make the backyard alllllllll for me though, Theo hates all water so I would need a big grassy area for him to run, play, and sunbathe in the yard.
