Here's a little patio tour of the bare space. See why we love it?
Now that the furniture is out I'm thinking we need a mini patio makeover. Of course we do. No place is safe in my house...not with me here. :)

(Darn you, Pinterest.)
So I may just have to settle for the umbrella lights and call it a
