You know the Friday drill here at fleaChic:

We're going to take a look at some incredible

and interesting back yard transformations.

And today's first makeover is utterly amazing:

Narrow backyards can be quite challenging:

Imagine how much work it took to

remove the sidewalk and old patio.

A Toronto couple tackled their pitiful backyard:

Now it's perfect for entertaining.

Take a look at this beautiful new flagstone patio:

It's amazing how a tiny area can be

transformed into such an inviting space:

 From an eye sore . . . . .

. . . to a beautiful place for entertaining.

QUICK  TIP:

Want to take the baby look out of your

children's outdoor table and chairs?

 Contact paper and spray paint can

make a huge difference!

This old wrought iron set was fairly yucky:

Design Sponge

But a new glass table top, spray paint and fabric

completely transformed it and added years of

enjoyment to its useful life.

This backyard was simply over grown
and really just needed a trim:

 When the new homeowners moved in there
were so many projects for them to tackle
that the backyard was last on the list:

8 Foot 6
It was worth the wait!

This backyard went from plain . . . . . . 

. . . . to oh, so pretty:

Jones Design Company

This next makeover is almost unbelievable:

Southern Living

The homeowners added a touch of Italy to their backyard.

It took 4 years for the wisteria canopy to mature.

I admire people who take a chance with unusual colors:

Studio G

The owners' choices certainly perked up this patio.

Most renters don't want to permanently add to
the structure of the home they're in.  Here's a make-
over that used purchased items, not built-ins:

I love the galvanized tub coffee table!

Beautiful, isn't it?

The owners of this house wanted a different
kind of design to perk up their bland patio:

The Handmade Home
A pergola adds instant charm to any outdoor setting.  These

homeowners completely transformed their outdoor entertaining

area and increased the aesthetic value of their home.

And today's last Before & After backyard

project might just be my favorite:

The horizontal fountain is such a sophisticated touch.

I hope that you enjoyed today's projects.  They

all added beauty and worth to their properties

and provide additional outdoor room for the owners.

Have a great weekend!
