Streamlined Patio in Arlington, VA

I work in asset management/investment banking, which can be intense and stressful at times. I enjoy being productive and value learning new skills (woodworking, home improvement, baking, etc.). I have a little pitbull rescue named Hamlet who also works as a therapy dog. On Sundays, I help a chef friend set up and run his farmer's market stand selling high-end baked goods and pastries. I really like things that are differentiated by being made well and made thoughtfully, so I love discovering brands like Outer. I live in Arlington where yard space in new development homes are rare. Though my yard is not large, it’s a great area to spend time in, on my stone patio with a cedar pergola. The recent addition of the fireplace creates a warm and inviting environment for just enjoying the space while just "being." I recently purchased a wood-burning pizza oven to be able to spend even more time out there. I also recently bought an outdoor projector and screen that I am excited to use for a summer evening movie night.
