Modern Recyled Retreat

Air Force Sergeant Ann Oluwadare commands the troops to turn her junk-filled backyard into a sleek and modern hangout using recycled materials and sleek metal accents. The blank cement pad becomes a colorful backdrop for a metal screen sculpture, wood and metal benches and a firebox. The overgrown yard is repurposed to make a vegetable garden, and old pavers are recycled into a new pathway and modern succulent planters. The addition of a rebuilt shed and metal planters completes this modern makeover.
