Our patio took many years to get here. In 2013, we roughed in a gas line dreaming that one day, we’d have an outdoor fireplace. And if we worked hard enough, that perhaps a pergola, too. It didn’t happen overnight but the wait was worth it. I wrote a detailed post on this entire process and hope it gives you helpful ideas. Save this for your outdoor project.

If you have an attic space with knee wall, I highly recommend turning them into “hidden” storage spaces. We did this to both sides of our garage attic and it was a win-win for both me and Brian. Now you know my secret —where I hide my Christmas decor 😉.
Our current project is turning our old unused back entryway into my small home office so follow along in stories for all the progress!
