Our Back Porch is Finished!!

We finally finished our back porch.  Like, just a little bit ago.  Mr. Robinson and our precious puppy are currently napping out there while I blog.  


We are living in the house I grew up in and when we moved it, it was fully furnished.  One day I'm going to write a post ONLY about our house.  Not today, though.  Today is all about our back porch.  When we moved in, there was nothing on this porch but a warped, old ping-pong table.  It had such potential.  It's everything a good back porch should be.  It's screened in, it's overlooking a lake, and it stretched the entire length of the house with doors leading to the porch in every room.  

We got rid of the ping pong table (it was completely useless), did some light cleaning, and made magic happen to a once-bare back porch.  Meet The Back Porch:



Yes, these are pallets.  :)  5 of 'em




Aren't they adorable?!  I love, love my cuddle bugs!  

So, for those of you wondering what this amazing contraption is...it's a Le Beanock and it's British and we love it.  

And no it is not a "kinky swing" or anything of the sort.  It's a cross between a hammock and a bean bag.  And it's huge, we can both lay in it and snuggle.  :)  



He is absolutely the most handsome and precious man in the world!  Ever!  

And the Le Beanock is mega-comfy.

And after living here for very nearly 4 months, we finished the back porch!  

YES!

How look did it took you to finish your back porch? Your husband and your Chihuahua must have put in a lot of effort to be sleeping so soundly after everything! Anyway, maybe you can add a little more color to your porch. In fact, putting in some decors may make it more lively.

I would love to have that hammock! The new setup just screams comfort for me. :] And you said it was overlooking a lake? That’s fantastic! That would be dream come true for me. But for now, I have to make the best of my pond. ;] -->William
