Back Yard Wall Reveal



Hi Friends,

Well, It only took my a couple of months
With a full time job and life I only had a few hours a week
To work on the wall

This is what my back yard pool area looked like last summer

Nice, but nothing special


I came to a point last weekend
That I was just done
Even though I didn't feel like 'IT' was done

I may do more work on it next fall
However, for this year
This is where I will be spending most of my free time
This summer

I'll let the photos do the talking












You are ALL welcome to come swim
Or just sit in my little piece of paradise

  1. Looks great, very inviting! It has been raining here for two weeks, now we are under flood warnings, so it really does look like a little piece of heaven!! Very nice work.

  2. I love the blue in the mural! And the feathery palm fronds were very hard to paint on the concrete, but they came out great! It is so cheerful now. Block walls are so hard to live with when they age, and I love what you did. xoxo I love how the umbrella goes. I loved that feature when I had a pool: a spot for the umbrella in it. xoox Su

  6. Dear Cindy ~ Your mural has me smiling. You have added distance and a peaceful setting with what you did to this boring concrete block wall. Way to go girl!

    You are going to enjoy this view all summer. :-)

  13. I'm so impressed, Cindy! It looks amazing, and those palms are very realistic-looking. It is a setting that would be easy to add to in cooler weather, if you want to do that. If not, it's great the way it is!

  14. Cindy, the wall turned out wonderfully. I love how you make the palm trees look like they are an extension of the ones on the other side. So pretty and I know how lucky you are to have a pool in the summer where you are!. Great job..Happy Tuesday..Judy

  15. I love your mural! It looks perfect beside the pool. You did a great job. I bet that took a long time to paint. You're lucky to have your own private pool and waterfall. How nice!

  17. OMGOSH, Cindy! THAT is SPECTACULAR. When you said you were painting your pool wall I had no idea it was such an extensive undertaking. You did a phenomenal job! You could hire yourself out to do that sort of thing. (I know =they couldn't pay you enough, right?) lol
    It is a perfect place to relax and you feel like you are at the beach in an enclosed space. WONDERFUL JOB!!!!! xo Diana

  18. This is great~~all the benefits of the beach without leaving home!
    You did a wonderful job on the mural Cindy! What a talent you have, girl!
    Don't be surprised if a seagull crashes into your wall, thinking it's the real thing...lol.
    enjoy your slice of paradise.

  19. Hi there, What a beautiful wall-so very creative. When I was growing up, my parents had a pool and one side of the garage faced it so my sister(an adult at the time)decided to paint it like a circus tent with all sorts of stripes of different colors. It was wild for the time, but we loved it.
    Thanks for sharing.
