Patio Makeover



most of my fam and friends know that i have been on the hunt for patio furniture, oh since about last year. The problem is we have a nice sized patio, which means lots of room to fill, but patio furniture is so dang pricey! and i'm sorry but i just refuse to spend that much on something that's going to get all beat up anyway. well, i've been scouring craigslist and have found some things here and there, but they're always gone by the time i call. so, then i found these great lounge chairs (bonus, they recline all the way and came w/the cushions) for super cheap. my cute friend nicolle lent me her truck for the day so i could go and pick them up. then, i stopped by world market (one of my fave stores) and spotted this little number which fit perfectly under the lounge chairs. it's amazing what a little bit of color can do to lift your mood. seriously, i love it, i think b/c it's the view i see right outside my window. now, i realize our patio is not going to win any hgtv contest for looks, we still need a table and umbrella to spruce things up, and something to block our neighbors direct view into our patio and vice versa, notice the tarp and wine bottle of our neighbors, lovely! any suggestions? but trust me it is so much better than before.

Kim, I just came across your blog. I didn't even know you had one. It's very appropriately titled, and totally makes me want to travel.
