It has been a long labor of love that included 5 days of staining, 2 days of construction, 1 day of sewing and 1 day of landscaping. But it was all worth it when our 4th of July guests enjoyed the extra shade and comfy spot to eat and mingle.

Thank you to everyone who helped it all come together!!
I'll have an easy as pie tutorial to show you how I whipped up those awesome outdoor curtains so easily!
Congratulations! I still can't believe you did all this work yourselves. I really love the shade of stain and with those fab white curtains, it looks fantastic!
