Vacations are a great way to relax and enjoy a change of scenery. But if travel is not in the cards for you this year, here are a few ways to turn your new home in Frisco, TX into a staycation resort.

1. Build a Fire Pit – Do you have fond childhood memories of sitting around a roaring campfire? Create new memories for your family to enjoy by digging your own fire pit. A circular stone-walled pit dug into the ground will light up the yard whether a fire blazes or not. Hang out with friends and enjoy a glass of wine, or roast some marshmallows with the kids.

2. Add a Fountain – Enhance the backyard of your new home in Frisco TX with the addition of a fountain. Built with a few large stones, a pump and plain old municipal water, a DIY fountain will help you unwind from a stressful day of work with its soothing sights and sounds.  

3. Bathroom Spa Makeover – Give your bathroom a spa makeover by removing clutter, adding some tranquil plants and scented candles. You can also add a massaging shower head or steam shower to create the ultimate relaxation experience.

4. Add a Reading Nook – Longing for a place to curl up and read or enjoy a little nap in the outdoors? An arbor bench is the perfect solution. You can dress it up with greenery or enjoy the bench’s natural beauty. The architecture makes a lovely addition to the backyard of your Frisco TX new home.

5. Hang a Porch Swing – Lounging on the front porch is one way to enjoy the lazy days of summer. Why not kick the relaxation up a notch by installing a porch swing? Not only does a porch swing add a serene feel to your home, but it also adds a touch of elegance and style to your curb appeal. Even if you don’t have a porch, you can still add a free-swaying rocker to a deck or garden.
