How to relax on your day off!!!!

Decorating Everywhere!

Even on a Saturday, I just can't stop.  The outside has been neglected (not to mention the dirt inside) because things have been crazy!  It's time to spruce up the 2nd most used space in our home.  The deck!  I love being outside almost as much as I love my inside.  Everything was looking shabby so it was time for some update.  First, everything had to come off the deck and cleaned.  Power washed the deck, the furniture and the grill.  I went to the shed and pulled out the bright red cushions that I got from Target at the end of summer last year and plopped those down.  Next were the hard items for the deck, area rug, old galvanized wash tub for a side table, plant stands and 4 chairs( 2 with the new cushions) to make a cozy seating arrangement.  
Next was a trip to WalMart for some brightly colored accent pillows, planters and tiki torches.  We already had chinese lanterns that I strung around the handrail so lighting was taken care of.  Some new flowers to fill the pots, steak and margarita makings and we were ready for decorating.  
Back home, everything went in its new home and I had just increased my living space by 320 square feet.
Bright red cushions and pots, orange and yellow pillows and cobalt, yellow and red smaller pots and everything is ready for the steak, baked potatoes and margaritas.  Who doesn't love SUMMER!
Margaritas anyone?!!!!

Happy Decorating!
