I thought patio blinds would be a simple privacy solution….the wind thought otherwise.
After repeatedly picking them up off the ground and reattaching them for the hundredth time, I finally gave up and built a horizontal slat wall out of deck boards instead. And unlike the blinds, this thing isn’t moving unless a tornado personally removes it.
Now I just need to decide on a stain color, find the perfect rug and accessories, and then sit out here pretending I don’t already have my next DIY project planned.
Officially my favorite place to hang out at home now.
