Tamra Judge Is Giving Her Courtyard a Major “Facelift” (PICS)

Earlier this year, Tamra Judge told BravoTV.com that she and Eddie Judge were “on to stage two” of their ongoing home renovation. “We’re gonna start renovating the backyard, put a pool in, pool house, all that fun stuff,” said Tamra, who will return to The Real Housewives of Orange County as a cast member for Season 17. As she showed in a recent Instagram Story video, the home’s outdoor upgrades also include a substantial “courtyard facelift.”

In her September 28 video, Tamra gave a glimpse of the in-progress work happening in her courtyard and shared some of her plans for the space. “I’m thinking [balls] in the firepit?” she wrote, asking her followers to weigh in.

While speaking to BravoTV.com in June, Tamra explained why the renovation has been “a big pain in the ass” for her and Eddie. “We moved back into our rental… and totally renovated it, and then we had a major flood,” she said. “And then we had to renovate the entire downstairs again.” However, now that the interior work is done, “at the end of the day, everything turned out beautiful.”

Despite a few frustrations along the way, Tamra is enjoying the process of redesigning her home. “That’s my passion," she said. “Something I always thought I would do is be an interior decorator.”
