Grunt Labor is working on creating the ultimate backyard.
Last year, we built the deck and made over the screened-in porch.
This year, we added on a patio.
And if this summer heat gets any worse, there’s going to be a new pool with me in it on a pink flamingo float.
After said patio was finished, we looked at it and asked ourselves what in the world we were going to put on it.
Didn’t think that one through.
So we built an outdoor sectional.
Ok, I came up with the idea and Grunt Labor mostly built it.
Oh, and Nicky helped a little. He got mad that I didn’t mention him in my Facebook post about the sectional, so I have to mention him here. He’s such a girl sometimes.
Of course, the ultimate backyard must include ultimate seating and this is the ultimate DIY outdoor sectional.
Disclosure: Home Depot provided us with a gift card to build this DIY outdoor sectional. However, all opinions and love of glass coke bottles are 100% mine.
Because it has a built-in cooler.
And individual drink coolers.
And a place for an umbrella.
Boom.
We partnered with The Home Depot on this project that I still can’t quite believe we built ourselves.
The full tutorial is on The Home Depot’s Apron Blog.
