Another Great House

Overflowing!

We have had so much rain lately that the garden boxes are literally overflowing!

I am in love with these boxes and have hopes to get a few more next year.  I can see that we need one just for tomatoes, one for herbs, and another for vegetables. The box dedicated to flowers was well worth it.  I adore Zinnias.

Dreamy

On my list of wants is an iron bed.  I think they are stunning. I can remember wanting one as a girl even.  I had a beautiful brass bed,as a young child, but it was impossible to keep shiny.I think that I should like one that is painted white.  I think they look best with a quilt, too, and lace curtains.  Perhaps one day, I will find my white iron bed.  Perhaps I will not.

Presenting The Deck

Before

After

It all started with a dream, a thrifted table, and a can of spray paint.  Oh, and a very kind husband, who did the painting! We added a few finishing touches, like a discounted umbrella and stand, retail chairs and pillows for a touch of whimsey.  Actually, the pillows were needed to tie together my theme when I could not find an umbrella that would!  Who knew that umbrellas sell out quickly? I am so pleased with our "new' deck.  Time to go enjoy our lunch outside.
