My New Backyard (and Where to Buy)

Last week I showed you the time-lapse video love letter I made to my new backyard. A month or so before that I showed you the before pictures here. Now, if you'll indulge me, here are some lovely photos by Raya of Raya Photography (she does weddings and family photography too, book her if you're in the market, she's amazing).

That's me and my friend champagne! Let me show you some more of her lovely shots and tell you where I bought everything (90% with my membership rewards points, i shelled out almost no actual cash money=if you have an amex, you'll likely be shocked by the number of places you can use those things) in case you see something you want to snag...

To see a slideshow with links and info on where to buy just about everything on my patio, except for the DIY stuff of course, click on this link: My New Backyard: A Source List.

Ausmerican Housewife - Creating with Kara Davies said...: Love the couch on a pallet with wheels!; July 14, 2011 at 1:11 AM
Anna said...: oh my gosh, this is Amazing! I can't get over all of the cute little details!; July 14, 2011 at 3:16 AM
Anonymous said...: I'm so jealous! We have a little patio, but we don't have a covered porch. Our other issue is that the humidity here means that we can't use upholstered stuff outside unless we haul it outside every time we intend to use it. Well, I know me, and that just ain't happening!

It really looks great. I love the fabric "flags" on the wall. I think I'm going to steal that idea, but that is, after all, why you put them on the blog, right?; July 14, 2011 at 5:09 AM
WishfulMe said...: Beautiful! Gorgeous! Lovely!

I wish I could have a back patio like that myself! Someday maybe... for now... my backyard is all about the kids. Hehehe...; July 14, 2011 at 6:51 AM
Timmi said...: Love it so pretty. But I see all that stuff and think wow I wonder if it would ever get stolen? The fence must help. I live in a smaller town and young kids have nothing better to do then steal stuff from people's yards.; July 14, 2011 at 8:15 AM
Cath said...: Lovely oasis!
Did you create the sunshade/awning off the side or purchase it?
That would be a perfect solution on the side of or porch where the
late afternoon sun beats down.; July 14, 2011 at 8:15 AM
Anonymous said...: Oh man! I'm seriously in love with the space you created. I showed my husband the video of that three times after you posted it and kept saying "I want to make that for our little balcony!!" You did a fantastic job!

Any tips for creating it on a smaller scale - say 66 sq feet? :); July 14, 2011 at 8:19 AM
Kelsey said...: Ok I honestly can't say that I've EVER seen a cuter patio!!! Everything is simply FAB! The color....the patterns...the quirky vibe. I am in LOVE! Great job Mama!!!!!! I am gonna check out the source list and make a shopping list! :); July 14, 2011 at 8:31 AM
sarah said...: You did an awesome job on the patio!! But my comment is about your bed. I LOVE it. I love the headboard that you made, I love the bedspread, I love love love the way it's positioned right in front of the open doors. There's some very Taj Mahal about it. In fact, the entire patio has an India feel to it. It's so airy and open and colorful. It's like when the little princess woke up and her attic had been transformed into an Indian palace. Looking for a house guest, or rather a patio guest? I come with two hilarious little monsters! :) I kid, I kid. But kudos and love your hard work!; July 14, 2011 at 8:39 AM
Rachel said...: Nice work on everything! So many fun details! I am excited to see what you do to your grill. I presume you have one :)?; July 14, 2011 at 9:17 AM
Unknown said...: What a great space. Jealous :); July 14, 2011 at 9:25 AM
Jaime said...: thank you everyone! and sarah, i posted a diy on the bed here: Prudent Baby Headboard!; July 14, 2011 at 9:46 AM
Emily said...: Umm ridiculously awesome, soooo jealous!!; July 14, 2011 at 11:05 AM
teacherspet04 said...: I Heart the DIY daybed! I think I might make a copy for my art/guest room; July 14, 2011 at 12:24 PM
jessa said...: Oh wow. This makes our small, barren deck that needs power washing look really sad. Okay, I'm moving in with you! Don't worry, I'll stay in the backyard...; July 14, 2011 at 7:22 PM
Jamie said...: I love it all! I think I will have to use some of your ideas to cover up the stenciled ivy and decaying FAKE ivy that was left for us at our new home. Now where to find pallets and where is your DIY post on how to make that amazing day bed?; July 15, 2011 at 9:42 AM
resistantnikki said...: So I've been obsessed with glass jars and whatnot lately... I've never seen such an assortment of fantastic glass containers! Looks like you had a great time creating this lovely space.; July 16, 2011 at 7:57 PM
The Mother Huddle said...: Jaime it looks great in the "I didn't try too hard, and this look has come together over years" Kind of way! That is hard to pull off in a month or so; amazing job!
~Destri; July 18, 2011 at 3:46 AM
Megan Lee said...: Wow! Amazing! I could sit there all day :); July 18, 2011 at 8:33 PM
lisatea said...: This looks really awesome! I LOVE the coffee table in front of the day bed. Did you purchase it like that, or wrap the cords yourself? I'd love to see a DIY for it!; September 25, 2011 at 3:41 PM
Susan Hazel. said...: This is amazing! I'm so inspired now. Lovely.; October 10, 2011 at 2:16 PM
Sarah said...: beautiful! nice job on everything! :D; October 11, 2011 at 1:10 PM
