outdoor dining {One Room Challenge} week one

Over the last couple years, I have seen more and more bloggers taking part of the one room challenge on Calling It Home.
This time I decided to participate! It should be interesting to see if I can make it happen. 6 weeks sounds like a tight schedule for me (I am more of 6 month timeline, that's how long it took me to redo our kitchen!)
Anyway I want to work on our outdoor eating area. And here is what I am dreaming of: perfect al fresco dining!

We are a long way. here is my starting point:

The patio itself has evolved a lot since we moved here. I started by adding trellis to the back of the shed to camouflage the wall.

A few years later, we tore down our partially rotten deck,

and we had a stone patio installed.

Finally last year, I built a couch out of the deck wood.

All of these projects have made the area more pleasant but

it did not address our outdoor eating area.

We have a shaky table with uncomfortable chairs,

it is a little bland and the old deck left a lot of scars in the yard.

My plan is for a new table and chairs (some built, some purchased),

adding some soil and growing some grass,

planting some flowers,

and adding some lighting.

1-Table from RH ,2-chairs from Costco, 3-Lighting from Bright July, 4-Lanterns from Her Tool Belt,

 5-Table and bench from Ana White .

I can tell it is going to be challenging,

snow is coming back this week end!
