Back in April I posted about my pathetic looking Courtyard titled "Outdoor Space Rivalry", and after 54 days, 10 projects, 1 tornado, 5 hail storms and too many days of 30 plus MPH winds to count, and a handful of 100 degree days later... I am proud to present the REVEAL!
I won't bore you with lots of verbiage on this post, instead I'll just show you numerous photos with captions... mostly because today I'm also posting the Backyard Patio Reveal (here).
Each space has it's own style, the Courtyard has a feminine "English Garden" feel and the Backyard Patio has more of a masculine "Global Attitude".
So without further adieu, I present to you the COURTYARD!
This is the view from the front door looking toward the Porte Cochere
Looking from the Porte Cochere toward the front door
Trellis next to the entry has Bougainvillea growing on it.
The other side of the entry is a Hibiscus topiary next to the Vacation Memory Chair
To the right of the chair is a Luna Hibiscus ready to bloom
On the other side of the guest bedroom window is a pair of Hawaiian Plumeria potted in the faux terra cotta pots (see tutorial here)
The table next to this chair is an old sun dial that's missing it's dial
On the wall is a pair of wrought iron plaques with Morning Glories growing up twine and Crape Myrtle in the front
I made all the pillows with outdoor fabric in blues and greens here
The Ficus trees offer shade and privacy, the tutorial for the containers they are in can be seen (here)

I hope you enjoyed the tour of the Courtyard, be sure to check out it's rival... the Back Patio (here)
I will be joining these fun parties...
