Saturday Musings

Oh..what a room in the middle of the city. 
A room of blue looking out on to a sweet little terrace overlooking the metro.
This seems the perfect spot to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Here are a few things new at Pier 1 that I'm obsessed about...

yellow chevron accent chair
This would update a room instantly!

Iron and wood arch. This would be good over a fireplace - myself..I'd like it out in the garden.
Perhaps hanging on the outside wall of my house?
Or hanging on the back fence?

I never tire of cloches and this one comes on an elegant wood pedestal.

I will have these pillows for my front porch!
Oh...yes I will. I've wanted some like these for quite awhile and was thrilled when these 
showed up at the store. They will be mine.

Note: they come in a green pattern and a brick red color too.

This is a precious little toadstool birdbath.
This thing is small - about a foot and a half high.
I can just imagine this tucked among hostas in the garden.

Hoping to bring this little thing home too.

in the meantime...

It might snow again today!
Surely, this will be the last of it.

I hope. We are all sick of it.

Outdoor Decor

Mod Mix Monday continued...

Lots of good ideas in that photo.
A simple bench piled with pillows becomes a great space to hang out on the patio.
Crates full of herbs....burlap sacks covering pots.
Lights and birdhouses.


I'm enjoying this summer so much! 
The weather has been so fabulous! 
We were in the 80's last week and in the 90's this week.
Perfect summer weather.
Last year we had like two months in a row of temps over 100.
So this cooler summer with lots of rain is really a treat.
Which makes me enjoy being outside all the more.

This time of year also brings sales on outdoor furniture in stores.
Which I really love...I'm no where near tired of decorating outside. 
And from the link ups last week to Mod Mix Monday...neither are you.

I've been finding good deals on outdoor stuff to add to my outdoor living area.
I'll show soon.

But for now...here are my favorite outdoor projects from last week's 
Mod Mix Monday.

This week's party is still going on..link up here.
Laurel of The North End Loft shared her cute little potting bench.
Look at this cute little garden banner she made to decorate the bench!
Laura of Cottage and Broome showed off her amazing backyard.
The focus of her post...her wonderful vintage chaise lounge which she painted and accessorized.
Sweet!
The Scribbler from Scribbler Unfocused has been busy painting all her wicker furniture in 
bright pastel colors this year. The pink victorian rocker is her latest transformation.
Her garden room is such a pretty happy place.
Heather of Friendship, Life and Style had a summer tea.
Oh...My! I love that china!
What a pretty table she set.
