So, two months after hubby & I embarked on the makeover of our small (and sad) urban backyard, I am thrilled to say that it is now time to enjoy it! In case you missed it, here is how it all came together. First there was the inspiration<\/a>, then the actual work and shopping<\/a> and finally, the much anticipated reveal.<\/p>\n

Throughout this process I learned a few precious life lessons:<\/h2>\n

No matter how unloved a space is, there is always a way to reinvent it.<\/p>\n

Doing the work yourself is hard, very hard.<\/p>\n

That being said, doing the work yourself is also very satisfying.<\/p>\n

Size matters. When the physical space you have to work with is tight, you have to be creative and think vertically.<\/p>\n

Like in the ocean, all shades of blue mingle in a beautiful way.<\/p>\n

And finally, it’s not because you live in Montr\u00e9al, far from the ocean, that you cannot create a small piece of Eastern seaboard heaven.<\/p>\n
