Nebraskabana
The concept for my cabana spawned from my realization that I never spent leisure time in my shadeless, open yard. I wanted to create a space that facilitated intimate social gatherings, and it’s far exceeded my expectations.
This whole project was an exercise in resourcefulness. The only new materials were the wood for the structure and the chair cushions/palette sofa padding. I layered three 3-inch-thick foam mattress toppers covered in a waterproof mattress cover and Restoration Hardware linen curtain ($8 at Goodwill).
My garden is a mixture of edible herbs/veggies and native prairie wildflowers. I broke up slabs of scrap marble and used them as pavers, surrounded by pea gravel.
