~Our Outdoor Pergola and Simple & Sweet Fridays #140~


Stan and the kids finally finished our outdoor pergola!
It's such a beautiful place to sit and relax next to our pool.
We had a giant Ficus tree taken out last year and we were trying to figure out 
what to put in its place.
The tree gave us a lot of shade so, 
we knew we needed some sort of structure. 
Stan ordered a pallet of bricks and Carly and Justin helped us move it out in the backyard.
It was a very hot summer in San Diego this year.
Stan only had the weekends to work on it.
I love having the brick as the base.
We found this beautiful pergola at Costco,
the floor plan was a perfect fit for the area.
Having the kids help us was a blessing.



Now we have a new sitting area to relax and enjoy our backyard.
We bought the outdoor furniture at Ikea.
That store has just about everything you need to design your home.
With the weather here in San Diego at 84 today,
we'll have plenty of Fall nights to enjoy outside!!

    What a great space! It really looks wonderful and I'm sure will get a lot of use, especially with your weather in SoCal. We are getting rain/sleet here this week:(

    Jody and Stan...this is so awesome. I would never think you could get plans for something like this. What a great job you did! Please tell me what you plan to grow on the pergola. I know we "ain't San Diego" here in the Midwest, but I have one at the lakehouse and I have wisteria slowly making it's way up!! It will surely strangle everything I grow. I would love your suggestions. It would have to survive the cold of course.

    A pool. Sigh. Need I say more?

    Joining in. Finally having some time to post and be a part of some parties! :)

    Your pergola is great! They did a terrific job on it. You can't beat Costco and Ikea, can you. That will be so great in the evening to sit and have a hot toddy or glass of wine.
    Thanks for hosting this great party. Have a wonderful weekend.
