Love your space! We did something similar. If you would like the gravel a bit stiffer sprinkle concrete dust all over it and spray the gravel will settle stiff.
Thank you for unknowingly encouraging me to “keep it simple” and use what I have. I have been doing the same thing with my back yard…..coming up with these grand ideas that I know will not get completed (especially with current prices) in the next year. You reiterated my thoughts today that I need to work with what I have, keep it simple and budget friendly and just get out there and ENJOY it! I can always add more or change it later if I want. 😊It’s absolutely gorgeous and looks so comfy and inviting. Well done as always Momma!! ❤❤❤
I don't know where you live Lisa, but I have a huge farmhouse table with 2 long benches. It sits 10 people. 4 on each bench and 2 at each end. It's free to a good home. It has served us very well (5 kids, 2 adults) and I would love to keep it as a craft table after I repaint it but my husband insists we give it away.
Lisa, my dearest bloguer. With you, everything seems so easy and simple and I do believe that it realy is for you. Because you are indeed an extraordinary person: woman, wife, mother of seven, little entrepeneur and a shinning star for us. With you, one can believe there is a better world wainting for all of us that you constantly inspire.Thank you for being you and being there for us. Vera, a kind of great mother, from Portugal, EU.
So many helping hands, you are a blessed woman. My daughter and I both love watching you. We always say to each other that your the hardest working woman we know.
I love seeing your children help you do projects. They enjoy every minute of their work and will grow up knowing how to get things done. Lucky lucky children. You have a strong back carrying those babies. God bless each of you.
Raising some fine young men and ladies there, sweet mama🧡 and Daddy😉🧡. OMG at the end with the baby head wobbles....remembering so clearly 😊 Your eating space turned out lovely....I love most of all your honest reflection on realistic assessment, priorities and enjoying the process as you live beutifully within your means. You'll get that "french door" design your imagining, but enjoying this as you work towards it. Simply beautiful!
Lisa, that was one of the cutest videos you have made! The new area is gorgeous! I love it so much! Love the baby trying to eat your face what a cute phase, I remember my babies doing that to me… so adorable 🥰
My favorite part of the video is seeing the baby on your back while you're working and at the end when the baby is pulling your hair and your still talking to the camera trying to wrap up the video, lol. It's just so wholesome and real. You're such an inspiration.
I use a nice Weather proof hinged storage for all my pillows and cushions right outside. Works great. Just close the Latch with a lock or just a piece of wood so the wind won't blow it open if you have strong winds. You ALL did a great job! Looks like the Littles are enjoying the pit!! Glad to see you do have some A/C!!
I’ve had experience w/ pea gravel. It gets all over. Into grass, etc. children love to mess and play in it….then soon it’s out of its boundaries into everywhere you don’t want it to be. But good luck, and enjoy your picnic area. You guys work hard!
Such a wonderful way just to start the project and stop putting it off and get it done and start using it. Then when they are ready they could add more flagstone
@@CRG_ Thats a good answer for some people, although not sensible for me. I am in and out of the house many times each day and I also must wear certain shoes at all times for my foot problems.
How gratifying to make such an attractive change so quickly. It was delightful to see your little ones so enthusiastic about helping with the finishing touches. This is a memory that they will look back on with fondness. Enjoy your warm weather!
How beautiful your family is. Gosh I am just amazed. We live on 46 acres. Know about rocks. Also, downed trees. Use a few logs (bigger) around that fire pit for seating. Kids love to sit on a 'log' seat. (4 grandchildren here) Logs also make nice rustic tables for plants to it on etc. They will also dry and later you can split and burn them.
Lisa, looks so beautiful..you will really enjoy it. I did pretty much the same thing years ago at our old home, using what I had and improvising. Every Spring, we cannot wait to get outside and just enjoy. ..Great job👍❤️..Love, Liz🌸🌸
Years ago when we bought our home we had to do all the landscaping and we did the same thing, a gravel patio and we have enjoyed it greatly! It’s inexpensive and easy to maintain. It also looks so nice! We used large size gravel and smaller size gravel to make a pattern and it still looks great!
Lisa if were you your MoM I give such a hug of PROUD I WOULD BE OF YOU AND YOUR HONEY, please understand that the work you folks do and sharing it with others is an inspiration of itself and AL of us. Thank you.
I love watching your family working together, the space is so nice. Your boys remind me of my 3 boys when they were young, barefoot, loving the country life!
Backyard looks so Inviting!!! ❤️the children’s helping w/ the stones! BBQ foods look delish!!! The marshmallow roast is so Fun!🎈 Let outdoor living begin!🥳🎉
Your patio turned out great. We have pea gravel around our fire pit and it works well. You are going to love grilling, no frying pans to clean. I love how your children help you and are playing outdoors . You and your husband are providing a wonderful life for your family.💕💕💕💕
Hi Lisa! Wow! The patio looks awesome! I just love your family and could watch them all day! The children are getting so big!! You and Luke work very hard however it is paying off! You have the most beautiful family. God Bless and I will see you in the next one! :)
What a beautiful backyard in which you and your family will create countless memories together. I can imagine a lot of life's little moments happening there. ❤️
I really like your new outdoor area. Using rocks to create your outline and filling it in with gravel is great. I love the sound of gravel crunching as you walk on it. One of my favorite things to do is to collect rocks and make borders for my flower beds. Great makeover!
Theo is just adorable! Your wheels are always turning , Lisa. I love all your ideas and how they all become a reality. The boys a re growing up to be hard workers from the example you and Luke set.
Save yourself the hassle of carrying outdoor pillows inside to keep nice. Instead buy an outdoor storage box for those items you want to protect. We received an durable large cube hinged outdoor storage box as Christmas gift for storing outdoor pillows and Ikea fake sheepskins for Adirondack chairs around our propane fire pit. Best gift ever and is sturdy fake durable product that looks like dark wicker.
Looks gorgeous! I would advise a weighted umbrella base, the wind will catch that umbrella and turn your table over and wreck the umbrella. Love what you have done.
It's great how you and your family worked together to create such a comfortable and welcoming patio space. Everything looks so nice. Y'all did an awesome job. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I couldn’t agree more!❤
Awsome !!! I like IT 👍👍👍
I just love how your kids want to be involved and help.
Lisa, I love your channel. Ugh. I could go on and on. May God continue to bless you and your family with health and happinesses. Love from PA. ❤️

Beautiful place to enjoy family and friends. Great job, God bless ❤
Cost effective and adorable.

Great makeover. And I must say it again…..Theo is absolutely beautiful. ❤️

Lisa, that was one of the cutest videos you have made! The new area is gorgeous! I love it so much! Love the baby trying to eat your face what a cute phase, I remember my babies doing that to me… so adorable 🥰
Hi Lisa, another great project the kids will always remember.. 😊…
You look so beautiful today with your auburn hair….
You’re little boys are precious helpers😊
What a great space!!!! You’s will probably be amazed at how much you’ll use that area!!! Love everything!!!!🤩🤗
Your baby is honestly the star of this show. So adorable 🥰
THAT BABY!!! AHHHH!!! love, love, love!
Thank you for the inspo! I have been trying to dream something up like this that is still affordable. Bless you Lisa!
Love it! You will be making precious, family memories in your new space!
Looking great. Happy outdoors days to come.🤗💞🤗
I love this idea, we’ve been kicking around what to do in our “not forever home backyard”. This would be perfect!

Perhaps in the end they might fill in the gravel area with more flagstone..... that would look beautiful too
Such a wonderful way just to start the project and stop putting it off and get it done and start using it. Then when they are ready they could add more flagstone
I have wanted to put in gravel, but my problem is it gets stuck in shoes and scratches your wood floors really bad. Mine are scratched enough!
@@cynthiafisher9907 don’t wear shoes in the house?
@@CRG_ Thats a good answer for some people, although not sensible for me. I am in and out of the house many times each day and I also must wear certain shoes at all times for my foot problems.
Love, love how that just feels so peaceful and beautiful!! Good job!
Lovely Lisa...wonderful space.
You are going to love grilling. It keeps the kitchen clean and cooler because the oven stays off. Looks amazing! Enjoy
What a beautiful space to have meals every day! 😀
Very nice. Beautiful family!
Hi Lisa 🤗your baby is so adorable I wanna hug your baby🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰you have beautiful home so cozy 😍
This space is so inviting!
I love this. It’s so fun to have an outdoor eating area, and it doesn’t have to be fancy!
I really love this video! I feel like this is an easy do for that a lot of people could accomplish. I think the makeover looks great.
How gratifying to make such an attractive change so quickly. It was delightful to see your little ones so enthusiastic about helping with the finishing touches. This is a memory that they will look back on with fondness. Enjoy your warm weather!
Wow, Lisa! Such a great job by you and Luke! It transforms your yard.
I love your new scalloped white dishes.🐦🌸

That sounds really cool. I wish you could share a photo on here. I would love to see it!
It’s beautiful and I’m trying to patiently await when our space is done. Waiting on some sunshine!!
Sour dough pizza on a grill…amazing.
That really looks nice and to know you did it on a small budget makes it twice as awesome! Thank you for sharing this space!
You are so welcome! thanks for watching
