Work with what you have is the theme again today. I put together a little hangout in our backyard with things I could find around the house.

No need to buy new things.

This is our favorite spot to have a beverage in the evening in the summer. The trees give enough shade and the lush hostas and ferns make you feel like you are in a jungle.

Do you remember my parents beautiful and old area rug? Well why not put it onto our hammock?

I love the look.
I used the Target drum table that I painted copper as well as the planter
that I also painted copper with my snake plant.
And you can also spy my all time favorite Nate Berkus for Target tray.
I bought the silver balls in Germany 5 years ago at my friends home decor boutique in Germany.
They are meant to be outdoors and can also float in a water feature.

Perfect place for a little happy hour and a game of backgammon, right?
Or maybe a nap in the cozy hammock while the candles are lit.
I love summertime in our tiny backyard.
And the best part about this is that I didn’t have to spend a dime.

    It looks so cozy and snuggly. I bought a bunch of smaller silver balls when we were in Germany. Germans love their silver! πŸ˜‰

    This has given me a better perspective on what we will achieve when we close in our side terrace that faces the neighbors air conditioner, meters, etc. with a hedge wall. We were going to do a brick 4 foot wall but found the price a little out of our budget! I now have hope the hedge will work! Thanks

    Your backyard is so lush and gorgeous! Did you inherit all of the plants with your house or did you guys plant everything after you moved in? How long did it take for all of the plants to fill up the space?

  15. Jennifer BNHblog says

    June 23, 2014 at 9:52 pm

    Beautiful and wonderfully creative! It’s so green and lush back there.

    Oh my gosh, the rug in the hammock is awesome! The squirrels have chewed ours and that would be perfect to hide their damage! Bet you feel like you’re on vacation in this little spot!

    Love the rug on the hammock! I miss our old hammock – we spent many fun times lounging in it – eating hot dogs with my girls. But alas, it broke – and we don’t have 2 trees perfectly spaced in my new yard! I’ll just have to come over and lounge in yours – after all, where there’s wine, there is Kelly!

    love it Julia! It’s the perfect backyard hangout spot and I don’t think you could get me out of that hammock!

    That looks so amazing Julia. I love your outdoor space. So green and lush and of course perfectly styled for a great afternoon. I love the rug in the hammock. Looks amazing. That rug is so beautiful!!!

    Is that other glass of wine for me? You shouldn’t have. Cheers!!!

    What a great idea to add a rug to a hammock!! I’m going to try this in our next house when we actually have a YARD πŸ˜‰

    What a cool idea! Looks beautiful and cozy. I would love to curl up and drink that wine with you. Except your cats would try to befriend me wouldn’t they??

  25. Brandi says

    June 27, 2014 at 5:34 am

    Such a cozy area you created. It looks like the perfect spot to relax with a glass of wine in hand. Hope you have fun out there. My kids would argue over who gets to lie in the hammock! LOL!!
