Backyard Power....

I took full advantage of the Sun today and brought out the POWER washer today...man can I go crazy with that thing. I need to power wash all the furniture and the deck so I can put a shiny new coat of chocolate brown paint on everything.

We would love to replace the deck with concrete to blend in with the rest of the concrete around the pool and install a new fence for the yard but that is just not in the bank this year. So, I thought I would disguise all the ugliness and freshen up the backyard using the pillows I purchased last year as my design inspiration.

You can't tell in the picture but the pillows have chocolate brown in them. I am going to paint the wrought iron furniture and the deck a chocolate brown and use the other fun colors on the bar/food stand my husband built 11 years ago as well as the cart I rescued from the side of the road. A fresh coat of paint and I'll have a new drink cart.

Now, if only that sun stays out so I can get busy painting.

Cheers!

Redesign and Rain...Rain GO AWAY!

Before...

After...redesigned using the homeowners furnishings. Reuse, Recycle and Renewed!

The only new addition will be new drapes.

I have so many outdoor projects and this rain has kept me from starting them. On the other hand, I always over extend myself with volunteering for various things...now I am behind on my indoor projects as well. I have decided tomorrow is another day and I am going to wake up with a positive attitude even if it is raining.

Here is a quick peek at a redesign I am working on.

Hope you are staying dry!
