Robyn, I am so inspired by your front patio. I love the diamond pattern blocks and the swings are the icing on the cake! We just put in some stone pavers and I may use that idea. So happy to be a part of this talented group of bloggers today.!
Great blog post!
I hope you’re enjoying a wonderful vacation and thanks for all the inspiration today Robyn????
Robyn, I am always so inspired by your projects. I am going to have to find a spot to create a paatio with the pavers and grass.
I adore your back patio Robyn. I especially like this grass in between the pavers, it really looks so fresh and inviting.
I hope you have the most amazing Summer Robyn! I love hopping with you!
