Lowe’s Spring Makeover Update & Design Plans

 Happy Friday friends! I wanted to give you an update on the Lowe’s Spring Makeover and also share my design plans & ideas with you. First off, THANK YOU to all of you who submitted your projects and opened up your heart and home to us. I wish I could have chosen all you. After selecting the deserving homeowner in the Hartford, CT area I got right to work. My mind was overflowing with ideas as I wanted to give this first time homebuyer an outdoor space she would love and could cherish for years to come.

Take a look at the before….

The homeowner loves to entertain but wanted a space that was casual & stylish at the same time. The challenge for me with these 2 areas was designing around the walkthroughs and traffic flow. I REALLY am so pleased with the design plan and can’t wait to get started in a few weeks.

Here is the plan for the deck….

*paint & stain deck

*paint backdoor SW Naval

*add tall planters at either side of door

*create a “built in” seating look with benches & a round coffee table

*add an herb garden

*give extra lighting

*layer in herbs and tropicals

*replace backdoor light

Here is the plan for the patio…

*give the concrete patio a facelift

*add shrubs along the long length of the patio

*give ample seating with a sectional & stools

* layer in plantings, tropicals & greenery

*create a lighting solution

*add a fire pit

*break up the space with area rugs

*create an entertaining area

These of course are just a few of the many things we will be doing for this deserving homeowner.

Be sure to stay tuned!

Have a beautiful weekend!
