17 Jan How to Improve Your Work-From-Home Life
This homeowner was, quite simply, tired of staring at the same old giant plot of grass in his backyard day after day, month after month. He’s in the same situation a lot of people find themselves currently: working from home full-time.

Next, we used wood boards and smooth pavers with a contrasting dark border to create a fire pit that has its own little element of separation from the main space.
Since the home has a built-in water view, we touched on one more sensory element: sound.

Now he can see AND hear the beauty that surrounds him!
