As I warned in that post, it got worse!

Okay, this was after we started organizing the storage closet, but it had already acquired a lot of junk!
After organizing the closet & power washing the wall & patio, things were looking much better…

The old door was a hollow interior door that started falling apart once it got wet. We replaced it with a solid wood door & painted it black. We also scored a great deal on a swing & I accessorized with a palmetto plant (which is currently residing inside until it gets warm again) & an indoor/outdoor rug I originally bought for the entry way.

We added a few strings of patio lights, which look awesome at night, but you’ll just have to take my word for it!
I really wanted to do something to the concrete wall. Despite it being more clean, I still think it’s ugly! Any ideas?
