tiny table
We're getting ready to do a little patio reno in the back yard so I've been browsing for a table to put between our two adirondack chairs. I just found this and LOVE IT!(I know, I know, its green. Geez...)

a little weekend project: the porch
I needed a project this weekend and Matt was sweet enough to take the boys to his mom's to swim while I worked on it. He even went to the hardware store for the primer, paint and flowers: he's such a puddin'!
As you can see from the before picture the area needed a little help. It still had its winter clothing on:
A little spray paint, some flowers and a yard of outdoor fabric and the porch is reborn! Now, it's a sunny spot to come home to as well as a nice place to read and have a glass of wine. Still need to actually sew the cover (it's just wrapped around the cushion here) and get some feet for the pot (it's sitting on decking material samples) and it will be complete. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.
Ah, accomplishment. I needed that!!
The details:
1. The chair cushion was recovered in Greta Cinnamon Floral Outdoor Fabric from Hancock Fabrics. It only took a yard and it is on sale for $10.79/yard.
2. The table is the Lindved table from Ikea that I've had for a long time and repainted a bunch.
Was navy now it's a sunny yellow courtesy of Krylon.
3. I had the pot sitting empty on the side of the house and filled it full of shade tolent impatiens.
4. I'd like to update the welcome mat. I am thinking about this one. I have it in the back, too.

our garden
I have so much catching up to do on the blog...lots of fun pics of things we have been up to for the last few months. But I couldn't resist posting these pictures of our beautiful garden. I can say that because I play absolutely no role in its design or upkeep...that is all Matt. Doesn't he do a fabulous job?
I love these green pots and the way the poppies grow up around them.
The garden gate.
The peonies are beginning to blossom!
Broccoli.
And grapes!
And, of course, the roses.
The inspectors.
