Myself, wearing a turquoise sleeveless top and pink peddle pushers, seated at a white metal table. A small cacti sits in a turquoise planter in the middle of the table, a plate with pink and white cookies sits nearby. The table is white with matching white chairs with orange cushions. In the background is the covered part of the patio with various chairs and plants. Text overlay reads "Our 1954 Home Patio Revamp"
