Getting Things Done || DIY Patio and Painting the Deck ||

[@monicacook8622]

Hello Sweet Lady 😊 Not sure if you wanted to have your little sitting nook permanent or not ? I just found a product (polymer Dur) you might be interested in, it’s like sand mixed with a resin that fills in the cracks between pavers to help keep weeds out and some water so your pavers won’t completely sink into the ground . Very easy to apply for a quick fix . Also just a reminder to always bend your knees when picking-up or moving around Heavy items . I’m sure you’re aware of that already however we all need to be reminded every now and then right 🤗. Love your Videos and the hard work you (and with help from Scott ) have put into it. Beautiful results and something we know you are very Proud of ❤

[@aileenreynolds5604]

Well done Sophia! No one works harder than you, my friend! Congrats on your new fur babies! They are so adorable!!!

[@monamorgan9452]

Looks fantastic❤ No, don’t paint the furniture a bland white or cream, you need that pop of color in that corner if only a muted green or pale yellow etc., I do love that teal/aqua Your quite the inspiration 👍🏻🥰

[@heatherjones7441]

You have so many areas to sit and relax, I hope you take a break from all of your hard work and find time to enjoy your spaces!

[@cazmall]

You got so much done Sophia 🎉 Your garden is looking great 🌸

[@barbarabowman9238]

The chairs are a great turquoise color! You are a power house!!!!! Great work ethic😊

[@GinaRich24]

The turquoise patio chairs are beautiful! They match the umbrella & also gives it a tropical vibe 💕

[@Olivegarden04]

You hv so much energy sophia! Well done!!

[@laurahartman9170]

Your getting things done series has been inspiring me! Thanks for sharing and keeping me company while I work on my own list :)

[@christinedisneyqueen5746]

Great video…new garden area looks so nice! 🩵

[@gigigigi1508]

Great job Sofia! I love the chairs. If you want to paint them and the table use the same colour (turquoise) if you wish. It's beautiful. X

[@monicacook8622]

I agree with ‘Mom more’ about the color. Maybe you might want to pull a color from the large umbrella over your garden table & chair set ?

[@TheLanaatje]

I couldn't help but laugh when you said "watch out, you might not recognise the house". I have been following you for years and I'm here to tell you that you do not recognise your house :D. What you have done over the years to your home, garden and honestly the work you did on yourself and your mental state it is amazing. You are an inspiration for sure! Now I'm back off to continue the never ending garden renovation here :D

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

Hey Sophia! Happy Friday! Just chilling and watching you today on the couch because I knocked out all my daily chores by 10:30 am this morning. A new rd it’s lol 💜👍💜👍👍💜

[@moniquefuselier7711]

The garden nook turned out so nicely. I think it's going to be much enjoyed. The deck looks nice and fresh!

[@bethstratton3391]

The little patio seating area looks a lovely semi shaded place to sit with a tea and admire your beautiful garden. My mum used to have a beautiful garden with lots of potted plants and when I see you potting out on your deck, it reminds me of how much she loved flowers and vegetables growing as much as you do. Thank you Sophia for bringing back wonderful memories for me in the week when I’m a bit sad because I think the sale of my mum’s house (the family home) will finally be fully completed.

[@mygreatchallenge]

I am glad I was able to bring back good memories. Unfortunately everything is temporary in life, we must enjoy things now. I hope you find time to plant a few flower pots too.

[@bethstratton3391]

@@mygreatchallenge Yes I hope to plant some herbs soon.

[@sandracollins7938]

You worked hard today girlfriend!! Love the little patio in back & I know it's your decision but I love that pop of color on the turquoise chairs!

[@umaimanajami4133]

Can’t wait for your mother to visit you❤ she will be very proud ❤

[@JOHANNA-qd6iz]

I love the colour of the chairs they bring brightness to the corner and match the umbrella.

[@mommargie2679]

Sofia your like a busy bee because there job is never done, and You did such a phenomenal job on your projects!

[@patriciaconiglio6717]

Love your new cozy nook. Your deck & flowers look wonderful. You are such a hard worker and an inspiration.

[@mariejeanne9461]

Well done with all your outdoor jobs!! Congratulations on becoming Parents again!! Best wishes.

[@tiahill832]

Looks great! The kittens are adorable! Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend! 🙂😺😺❤

[@LuPeres-l6g]

That's what l love about you Sophia, you are so humble, honest and so real. Love how it looks! Your kitties are so cute. They will bring you and your family lots of love. Enjoy!❤😘

[@teressacharlesworth4109]

teal looks great also your little corner

[@lanaritter9410]

You are a workhorse Sophia, wish I had just a smidge of your willpower! Everything looks beautiful!!!❤

[@MsArtistwannabe]

I think the little holes on the edge of the table is where little rubber stoppers go to set the glass top on. Such a lovely corner you’ve created. Great space to have morning coffee or tea.

[@catherinerandall1966]

You are an artist! Really love watching your creativity and get-up and go! Yay Free pavers!!!

[@weehollie2]

It's suuuuch a great use of space, it's fabulous

[@sarahcooper5437]

Your garden is looking fabulous. From the angle of the camera it didn’t look like there was room for a patio but you pulled it off beautifully 😊 It will look great whether you paint it or not. Hope you manage to squeeze in some time to enjoy it. Off out to follow your example x

[@carolinecox6686]

How cute are your new fur babies 😍😍adorable just adorable

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

I like your idea of another seating area. Hubby and I want to make little seating area all around our yard starting with a fire pit area. Now just have fire pit no seating. When family comes over for camp fire they bring their own folding chairs, camp chairs 🥴

[@cathtf7957]

Awesome!

[@judystahlman1620]

I love your new setting area.. it's like a little piece of heaven. Good job.

[@susannels4884]

Yup I'm in the overwhelmed from procrastination stage. Thanks for the inspiration to get going one step at a time!

[@karencherne7050]

Everything looks beautiful! I love the turquoise on the chairs! Matches the umbrella and is a great pop of color.

[@pambrackemyer4356]

Your vision came to life! Nice job! Also you are using every square inch of your property! 🎉😊

[@tomsdotter3228]

The seating area is a great addition. Everything looks beautiful.

[@ClutterFreeWannaBe]

I love your walkway to your cute little patio sitting area. ❤

[@luella2897]

Sophia, You mentioned painting the table and chairs possibly white. I really like the chairs blue !! They are really pretty!

[@MsArtistwannabe]

That’s the truth for sure. There are always projects for a homemaker/homeowner.

[@dianethomas8611]

You have so much energy!

[@Lisa-tj3cd]

As some others said, I also really love the colors of the chairs in that area and the black table and umbrella ties it all in together. I thought at first you did those colors on purpose because it looks great. Your garden is gorgeous! You have so much talent creating things! 💗

[@ToniBergquist]

I absolutely love your little patio! The blue chairs match the umbrella pretty well…at least in my viewing.

[@robinbarton7581]

I love the sitting area! I think the color of the chairs makes that corner pop! They also go with the umbrella! You got a lot done!

[@juststoppingby390]

Lovely job. I can imagine you and your mom sitting there with a margarita ❤

[@sylvettemaricot3836]

Très joli. J'aime beaucoup

[@janicecancilla913]

It all looks wonderful Sophia! Some pretty cushions on those blue chairs and you have a great book nook! Enjoy your summer😎

[@johnmelissaziech6207]

How nice that you were able to carve out some more space in your yard to create a lovely sitting area.

[@eileenriker2262]

Really like your new patio, so nice. Love the kittys so so cute.

[@juststoppingby390]

Love your new little Bond Villains. All my household are Bond villains. 😂

[@deb8377]

So beautiful!!! EVERYTHING!!!!

[@juliebrooke6099]

What a beautiful transformation of that corner. The little table is very pretty. Definitely see if you can get some glass cut to fit the top.

[@donnawiseman9311]

Oh, my! I love your new little patio!! What a nice little oasis!! A wonderful place to sit and relax!! Love your deck, too. You are really getting things done!!

[@seniorbutterfly1934]

You are Amazing, a ball of energy!! 🙂

[@LuxuryOption4756]

You hit it out of the park with these projects‼. Congrats !

[@janetstauffer5057]

Love the new patio. On the table on the deck I would use varathaine. Maybe a boat kind. I have used for years on outdoor projects. Not sure I'm spelling right. I use on my front door that gets a beating fron the hot sun in summer.

[@nancyojeda4844]

Great job it looks so calm and relaxing 😎 hope you enjoy it

[@tammychildofgod277]

Love your new patio ;) you are such a hard worker! Looks great. Blessings

[@reneewolf1738]

You are Such an inspiration Sophia! I can’t do as much of the physical labor as you but you inspire me to do what I can and my garden shows the results of me giving it attention every day. Your back yard is such a heavenly oasis.

[@mygreatchallenge]

You can do it! I wish I could garden daily. I am still very behind.

[@janines446]

The cats are adorable the black round wrought iron table is awesome the color of the chairs (bright turquoise) has got to go. 🙂💕

[@kathleensauer3394]

Love it!! So cozy!!!⛱️

[@annl4329]

Amazing, great what you can do with a bit of creativity and resourcefulness. You are a master in this regard. Really enjoyed this video.

[@judyavants7928]

I love it. You are very luck to have a great place to go off to your self.

[@barbaranielsen2888]

Big improvement! Looks great!

[@janetdamboise6225]

Very nice as always Sophia!!!

[@colombepetite]

I am still visiting my Mom and helping her with her teeny garden jobs. I love the idea of a small seating area! It’s nice to be able to enjoy ALL of your home.

[@katharinedodson9330]

Beautiful. One question - Why not paint the table the same color as the chairs for a pop of color?

[@heidibastawros8722]

Very nice. I wouldn’t paint the chairs.

[@carteenmacm7279]

Beautiful Perfect

[@marshagaravaglia8149]

Good for you, looks great ❤

[@robynspersonaltraining3593]

I like the new spot in the corner with the pavers. My gardening attire would be a lot less than yours when it is hot. I could not wear jeans in summer here. Phew!

[@michellegonthier6251]

I like your updates on the patio.

[@connieverbeck1110]

Fabulous!!

[@angelacimmino1102]

Sophia, we just found out we are having a second granddaughter this November, and they are naming her Sophia! (We are 100% Italian.) I really like your new sitting area and may the dead tree RIP. 🌷

[@mygreatchallenge]

Hey, I like her already!

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

I do not know how you garden in your jeans! I would die here! Of course I am still dying from heat exhaustion in my bike shorts too. I have been going out in early morning 6:20 am or 7 am and doing 1 hour a day. Good enough!!

[@suzie2080]

Wow! Did you ever get things done!

[@carriebelcher8644]

Nice job

[@lydiaesparza9387]

❤

[@Myeverydaywifelife]

25:41 ha! I still had my Xmas flag up until recently then the roofers took it down when they put up the new gutters.

[@diannamcbride1607]

VERY nice!

[@colleensnyder8943]

Hi Sophia. Admiring the cityscape watercolor at the beginning. I love the blending technique. Is Scott the artist?

[@mygreatchallenge]

No all my graphics are from Canva Pro you just drop pictures and videos into them. Super easy to use.

[@abunchahooey]

Maybe the company who sent you the wide planter you put on your front porch can send you another one to block off the area behind the garage. 😊 Also, I love your flower choices for the deck pots. Red, white and purple petunias and dusty millers are darling and a very old fashioned combo.

[@ReginaCaravetta]

Please please more about the cats I love cats I have one and it’s getting older but if I got more cats or a kitten, I think it would be too jealous but I want to look at your little kittens I can live through you as I do because I’m 83 and I can’t do everything you do. I have pebbles under my front window of my house. I started to sit there and pick them all up and put them in a can because I thought I would put mulch. I got a bucket and a half done I live in Palm Coast Florida so you know it’s very hot, I guess I was trying to save the pebbles for something else. Do you think I should just put loads of mulch on top you seem to know a lot and I need your help much love to you and your family and have a wonderful summer, a wonderful, productive summer that’s what I plan on Jeannie

[@mygreatchallenge]

Check put my Instagram for cat videos and updates

[@mygreatchallenge]

Yep pebbles are a good weed barrier too. Just mulch over

[@kaymccormick2279]

No don’t paint the chairs. Paint the table to match

[@monicacook8622]

White or beige would hide the set and maybe not be as inviting for someone else to use. Maybe that’s what you want it to be a little Secret sitting space in your Garden. Either way you’ll make it Beautiful . Maybe I have so many opinions about this video because I’ve been stressing over having to make over a Garden area where I made a secret Fairy sitting area for my Granddaughters (20 yrs ago.) Because unfortunately our neighbors had to remove their ‘Beautiful Globe Willow Tree’ they Shared with us. Now that area looks bare and like a war zone 😮 we’ll have to put up a new fence and find a quick way to give us Shade so sad. Sorry for Venting but I’m sure many know the dilemma we’re facing. My Husband is just as sad 😢 can anyone suggest a Tree (for a 9 month winter state) that they have had success with that grows fairly full 8 feet within 2/4 years or is that being realistic ? any Suggestions would be Appreciated 😊

[@mygreatchallenge]

The point is to make it disappear so that it extends and not shortens the length of the garden

[@mareebrown-e3n]

Please don't paint the chairs. They are a beautiful colour now.
