apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

How did you create it? With the help of my Aunt Michelle, we drew up a plan and made a list of supplies to build a one of a kind structure. The pergola is made of red cedar which we cut, built, and notched together. The base is made out of cinderblocks and covered in stone facing which took the bulk of time to construct.

The countertop is concrete, which we mixed and poured into place, and in laid two mosaic pizzas for a special touch. The project was then finished up by some quick landscaping and lighting just in time for Father's Day this year. It was a grueling eleven days with a small crew consisting of my mother, aunt, sister, and good friends who were willing to work in hopes of a "Poppy's Pizza" in return. The end result was more than any of us expected, and definitely worth the work.
