Aside from location and neighborhood, one of the main aspects that drew us to our current home was the property lot. We moved from a nearby "patio-sized" beach city lot to a house with a decent-sized backyard. But just like the rest of our fixer upper, it is in dire need of a makeover.
We still have several interior renovation projects to tackle in the main house (plus a future conversion of our 400 sf attached "shed" space, which I have yet to share about on the blog); but right now, the front and back exterior improvements are up next on the reno list...
I'll be sharing more info in the near future about our backyard renovation as it gets underway. But for now, I can tell you that having a privacy barrier is the most important priority in this renovation. Those goats you see in the photo above?! Trespassers! :) A few days ago, I saw a lady open our back gate to let these two seemingly lost goats onto our lot. You see... our property backs onto a horse trail (located on the other side of the white wood railings), and these friendly domestic goats seemed to have gotten out of their pen from the stables up the trail. Privacy is much needed, indeed. :)
I'm pinning some outdoor inspiration for our backyard makeover if you wish to follow along.
