NorthColors Used
Chocolate brown, aqua, turquoise and lime green
Color Inspiration
My husband and I both picked some our favorite colors to incorporate. The aqua was an inspiration from a cover of one of my favorite magazines. I went crazy with it on the furniture and decorations, but it ended up tying everything together so well.
Color Tips
Use what you love! These colors brightened up our backyard so much! Even with the leaves falling, it makes everything so cheery.

This is so sweet and so different from what we usually see on AT. I could live a the backyard if it looked like this. You have my vote : )

Super double cuteness. And way to spend on an event by adding pieces you can enjoy for a long time to come!

Picture #2 looks like a miniature set to me - looks lovely whether it's human or doll sized.

Thank you all for the wonderful comments, they mean so much! I am super excited that our 'room' was so well-received. Just today, I happened to look on FB and see that we made it as an entry. Hooray!
Of course, a vision is nothing if it doesn't have someone to make it a reality. This project was done on such a tiny budget using cast-off furniture, clearance plants from Habitat's Resale store and a ton of paint! A tremendous amount of work went into making our backyard really come alive. My husband, Joel, is amazing! Power washing, painting, landscaping the back area, really made a huge difference. Good friends Amy, Josiah & Margaret helped us add all the small details that really make everything come together and our friend Lisa was kind enough to photograph it for us, and has since started Pellegrini Penzone Photography www.penzonephotography.com. Many thanks for appreciating our hard work and taking the time to vote.

some backyard makeovers look too sterile,too impersonal but this shows that someone actually lives there & uses it. The colors are great & reuse of materials fantastic
