or give that design idea they have in their head a try.
And sometimes it is in a way that is more impactful
and really makes a difference for a family.
making over an outdoor space for a reader with Lowe’s Home Improvement.
And I have to tell you that it was a lot of work, but it was so.much. fun.
Martha and her family have recently relocated to beautiful Nashville Tennessee a few months ago
and were trying to get their family settled in a new state and area.
Unfortunately, physical limitations from an accident made it hard for them to get everything fixed up
and it also left the outdoor living spaces bare
with much of the heavy lifting and building that was required out there
not able to happen.
Enter Lowe’s and a team of amazing volunteers
to help them create the backyard oasis of their dreams.
Well, he rocks too.
(especially when doing ‘the Rock’ face)
The makeover started with chatting with Martha about their family needs
and their dream space and then deciding what we could do with the budget we had.
over to Nashville to make this makeover happen
in just 1 day.
Here are the areas we decided to focus on:
No extreme makeover home edition over here.
And it needed to be within budget-so we worked to pick and choose the best pieces
and things to use that budget on.
Which left us with plenty of time to build the furniture and gazebo, pot the plants,
pull things together and wrap
this makeover up in just about 5-6 hours.
They were full of energy and eager to help and after a quick delicious breakfast
that Martha made for everyone
That simple detail adds so much to the collected feeling and charm
that this seating area has.
stood back and admired the space
Think weathered and worn and full of luscious gray wood
and colors and lots of pretty details.
Note:
Originally the table and chairs and bench were out of stock-but they are back
and are linked below.

Beautiful job. Love the outdoor space. Did you anchor the gazebo to the ground?
Courtney says
Yes, it was anchored into the concrete patio for safety. 🙂
CBrown says
Beautiful space you created!! Just wondered if you anchored the gazebo?
Courtney says
Yes- anchored to the concrete.

Did you stain the furniture to match? Also, I notice the bench in photo is longer than the one linked. Is is just the longer size of that same bench? Love these spaces so much,
Courtney says
Originally the bench and table and chairs were out of stock- so I linked a similar one and noted it. But they are back in stock and theinks are updated- and they came that color- we did not stain them. 🙂
Eilis says
Both areas look great (especially in such a beautiful setting). Love the way you did the wine barrel tables.

Thanks Courtney, it was such a joy to meet you and Ryan. Martha and I are so appreciative of Lowe's and of course your wonderful creative vision/talent. Suffice to say, we have had a few margarita's sitting under the Gazebo w/ family visiting us from Socal for my daughters wedding this past Sunday. Blessings to you all!
Rick & Martha
Courtney says

I bet those margaritas were amazing too!! 😉 Thank you again for opening your home to us and Lowe's and for being such a huge help with pulling everything together! We definitely need to stay in touch! xo

I'm in total awe – seeing what has happened here, the variety and charm of items, the 'look in' of nature in the surrounding nature, it's totally gorgeous, über-beautiful and charming…. What a great idea, and what a dedicated team you were. Thank you for sharing that joy and congrats to you and the happy couple with their family.
