It’s our 7 year anniversary (woah) and we decided the best way to celebrate would be in our own backyard! But where to eat? Under the pergola, of course, which I have been itching to get spruced! All it took was some elbow grease aka a power washer and pretty decor by way of an outdoor rug, potted plants, outdoor curtains, a table and chairs, globe string lights, hurricane lanterns, Buddha fountain, homemade sangria (recipe below) and a DIY outdoor fabric table runner to make our own little outdoor sanctuary! What do you think?

Getting mic-ed up!
Red Clove Summer Sangria
Prep it:
- roughly cut fresh fruit and berries (oranges, limes, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries and peaches!)
- 1 bottle of dry red wine
- 1/4 cup brandy
- 1/4 cup tripple sec
- 1/4 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
- a sploosh of sparkling water – to taste
- agave syrup – to taste
- cloves – a sprinkle of cloves
DO IT!:
- Add all your ingredients to a decanter or pitcher and let sit for an hour or so to really let those juices mix and mingle.
- Serve!

All finished! And now, it’s time to eat! Love you Joey!

I have a pergola also and wanting to decorate with curtains. How did you go about hanging your curtains? What did you use for support
I have a pergola also and want to decorate with curtains. How did you go about hanging them? I love the way you have everything set up and your accessories! Awesome job!
Hi, I love your pergola. Do you happen to know the size of the boards used on it? I would love to make one with a similar style. I am thinking the posts might be 2x6 or 2x8? What about the ones above?
Thanks!
What brand are the string lights?
Can you do a full house tour before and after when the whole house is done and decorated? Congrats on 7 years!
I'm so inspired....again! Thank you Kate & Joey, such a fab team!!
Congrats on 7 years! One of my favorite episodes to date!
Wow 7 years! Can remember having a conversation with Joey previous to him doing Taking Five at Umass Lowell. He was telling us that they were going to make a movie. There were some fans there who thought it was not a good idea and told him not to do it. Imagine if he listened to them? Clearly it was destiny! Congratulations on 7 years! Wishing you many more! Enjoy every minute. ❤️
Beautiful as always 🙂 <3
Wow 7 years! Congrats guys. I love what you did with the lights and the candles. I want my own outdoor dining now. It looks magical in the morning and all the more at night. Good job everyone. PS: I went all mushy when Joey said I love you Kate! I immediately remembered the movie Taking Five where I first saw you two.
