Margaret Josephs Reveals She Had A Major Backyard Issue: “The Pool is Overflowing”
The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member shared details on how the weather has affected her situation at her house.
Margaret Josephs is not having fun in the sun this week. Although The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member renovated her backyard earlier this year (as seen in the video above), she was not able to enjoy the fruits of her labor during a storm.
Margaret took to her Instagram Story earlier this week, where she captured a photo of her rain-soaked backyard.
In the photo, Margaret's turquoise blue pool can be seen filled to the brim with water, as the rain storm keeps pouring down. She covered her lounge chairs in towels, barely protecting them from the torrential rain, while her outdoor couches (with the cushions still on) fared much worse.
Margaret's husband, Joe Benigno, tried his hardest to help with the overflow, standing in the fountain level of their pool with an umbrella and a hose in each hand. But his efforts appeared to be no match for mother nature.
"Someone forgot to bring the cushions in," Margaret wrote over the snapshot, followed by a playful, winking emoji. "And the pool is overflowing."
Luckily for Margaret and Joe, the rain didn't seem to cause too much damage to the gorgeous, black-and-white themed backyard. And there are still plenty more days in the summer for them to continue to enjoy their pool.
Inside Margaret Joseph's Backyard Transformation
But this pool is a newer addition. The couple did some major landscaping and added the pool after the backyard of their home became a "major, overgrown mess," Margaret explained in the video above.
Inspired by old Hollywood glamor and "fabulosity," Margaret made her backyard the perfect place for entertaining friends and relaxing. The couple installed a fountain level in their pool, complete with hand-forged lion heads spitting out water, sitting right outside of their living room. "I mean, what's more Jersey than lion heads spitting out water?" Margaret asked in the video.
The backyard is also equipped with an outdoor kitchen and bar so Margaret can grill, smoke meats, and stir up a cocktail or mocktail all in one place. After eating, guests can jump in the luxurious, Hollywood-style pool, which Margaret frequently uses, even when she isn't having anyone over.
"You know, water is very calming, and I need to stay calm," she noted.
Although an overflowing pool is the opposite of calming, there is nothing like a little summer rainstorm to really make things interesting. Press play on the video above to see the rest of Margaret's stunning backyard.
