Outdoor Decor

Hellloooo everyboddddddyyyy!

I guess Oprah impressions don't translate well in written form, but just know that my arms are extended, my face is tilted up to the sky and my voice is hearty and booming.

I have an outdoor dinner party coming up which I am stoked about. To get the deck ready for our evening soiree, I've been looking at a few little details to maximize guest comfort.

One of the dilemmas with our quaint little home is seating. We've had several parties in our house, and never seem to have a good solution. I decided I'd remedy limited seating with cute cushions for our bench.

I spotted this ten dollar Target table cloth and saw its potential. When I found accompanying pillows for $10 each, I knew I was on to something.


A little sewing and foam filling later, I had a cozy spot for a handful of people.
I decided to create one long cushion with two smaller ones for the sake of versatility.

I also scored two adirondack chairs and a table from my in-laws recently. They used the set to stage a house they flipped and were kind enough to donate it to us when they sold the home. I'm thinking potted yellow plants on the table and some cute yellow cushions will be just right.


That's my small update for now...but stay tuned! I have just finished a BIG project and am on the verge of showing some pics. It took a lottttttttt of work, but I'm so excited!

  3. Ooooh, nice work! I love that bright blue color - so fun! Can't wait to see the rest of the decor.

    I happen to be watching an Oprah rerun right now, so your Oprah impression is pretty easy to visualize. :)
