A Oasis Dream Come True
Little Lockhart Oasis backyard.
I’ve never really had my own backyard but, a few years ago, this vision of a funky little oasis just wouldn’t quit.
I’m so proud of the oasis I’ve created, to serve as a refuge for me, my airbnb guests, and of course, all the beautiful butterflies.
Here I’ll share highlights from the journey, challenges we navigated, and links to the goodies I discovered along the way.
If you’re building your own oasis, airbnb guest house, or just love to get lost in pretty pictures, this is the spot for you.
Key features:
We always knew we wanted a sauna. After many months of research and electrical decisions, we found this perfect little cedar barrel.
We found this interesting pergola and created a little outdoor dining area. You can open the top to let in sunlight when you’re in the mood for that as well.
We created this firepit using stones from around the property (there was once a pond back here!). Looking up at the stars with a s’mores in hand is always a top happiness moment for me on vacations.
At some point, I’ll do an entire post on our Cowboy Pool. We were buying at exactly the right time when they released the heater/cooler combination. Star gazing during cold winter nights at 100 degrees, or looking up at the Live Oak trees on a hot summer day. Best of both worlds, and guests really love this amenity.
A Peachy Chic Kitchenette
Every retreat needs a sweet little kitchenette.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
