Creating an outdoor space

I love home reno projects, and although I thought we might reno our guest bathroom this year, we instead worked on two unexpected projects that I love the results of.  Our big project was creating an outdoor space that our back door leads out to.  This area is where hubs grills, and honestly, it wasn't quite the prettiest sight.  It was actually his idea to redo it so that we could spend more time outside.  Once I started really taking a look at the area, the more and more excited I became about the project.  Icky brown fence and dingy concrete just wasn't doing it...

Before
The area where hubs two grills usually are
Our new outdoor space with new fence, paving stones, bistro and chat sets, and solar lanterns
The two grills and deck box for cushions
lovin' these lanterns
We're so happy with the results and have spent a lot of time out here already.  (So much so that we decided to forego our beach pass this year.)  Next plan is to get a portable fire pit so that we can roast marshmallows in the fall.
