It seems like Fall is just around the corner, so I thought I better share our outdoor spaces before it's too late.
We do enjoy sitting out here enjoying the sounds of the birds and creek, and we've had so much rain this year that we've felt like we really are in the temperate rainforest this is here.
I really only changed the fabrics around since I wanted to get away from the pinks, and added back in more reds.
I still love this black floral outdoor fabric I bought about 10 years ago and it really works with pretty much anything. I made new covers for the back pillows out of a vintage sari I bought from eBay. I treated them with outdoor fabric spray to help with fading and mold/mildew.
I made this pillow several years ago from fabric I bought at Spoonflower.
I also changed some of the chair seat cushions to black and found these on clearance at Walmart for $8.88. Don't look for them now because they got rid of the summer stuff on July 4th, which is ridiculous in my opinion.
I moved the bistro table back to the old spot by the railing because it makes such a lovely place to sit and have coffee or a light meal. And, my husband and oldest daughter have enjoyed sitting at the table working on projects.
I also traded out the beige umbrella cover for this red one. I really like the red, but it creates a pink/red glow all around and everywhere it reflects, which is not great inside in the music room:-)
I bought buffalo check outdoor fabric to make a tablecloth, and this has held up really well and has not faded at all.
I've been enjoying this spot every day, regardless of weather, and although we've had a lot of rain, I'm not complaining as temps have been so wonderful here in the mountains that we are enjoying a gorgeous summer. Our kids start back to school in three weeks, and my oldest starts college.
Where does the time go?
Enjoy the moment:-)
