One Room Challenge: Our Back Patio, Week Four

It's that time again, a new week and time to see what progress I have made on our Back Patio Refresh for One Room Challenge! 

In a shocking plot twist, last week we . . . . 

Built a new fence. 

It's my party and I can change the plan if I want to, right?! Long story short, we thought we had hired someone to build this fence, but that wasn't working out, so we headed to Home Depot and got going. What would a project be at our house without another, more complicated, project thrown in for good measure? #letsdothis

I have to say that I'm super amazed with the Behr Waterproofing Wood Stain, though. It covered this red cedar beautifully and went on like buttah! I brush painted the first batch, then switched to a combination of brush and roller to speed things up a little. A sprayer would probably work really well also. 

You can believe me when I say that this new fence is definitely counting as part of the "patio" redo. LOL 

Back to the photo, at least a had a little time the other day to paint up this cute little outdoor chandy. Because when the weather man says softball sized hail you pack up all of your breakables outside and cover your furniture and pad your stainless steel grill, and in between you drag out all the extra colors of spray paint on hand and have a little fun painting crystals. 

Only two weeks to go! Will I finish? Anything? Your guess is as good as mine at this point!

Need to catch up on this crazy ride we're taking? On Week One we talked about The Patio, on Week Two I shared my design plan, and Week Three was all about our crazy Texas weather, which led to the first change in the plan.

You can see the 20 featured designers' Week Four posts on the Calling It Home blog here, and see the over 220 linking participants here!! So much eye candy!

The painted chandy is soooo cute!! I hope the weatherman was wrong and the giant hail didn't show up!

I love the hanging candle holder, it is so pretty. Where did you get it? Next year we are going to repair our wood fence and paint it. It looks so horrible right now, but one can only do so much at a time.

Well, you took matters into your own hands and I can tell that you are pleased!
We have had a few projects like that around our house too.
What a precious chandy!
Thanks for sharing this with us at TOHOT!

We've been having some storms here, but no hail as of yet. You two make a good team!

Oh I just can't wait for the reveal! I am a bit late to the TOHOT party this week due to my college semester finals but I'm so glad that I didn't miss this. Have a wonderful week.
