Paper Lanterns In The Garden
Every year I know it’s summer when it’s time to hang the paper lanterns in the garden. I get so excited over something so silly and so easy. It’s crazy really! However, whenever I think about not hanging them I…
New Outdoor Patio Furniture
I have new outdoor patio furniture! A week or so ago I shared with you my crazy Walmart adventure about buying patio furniture. If you missed it you can see it here. The short version is that I bought patio…
All I Wanted Was Spray Paint
I had one goal, just one. All I wanted was spray paint from Walmart. That’s it. In and out. Unfortunately, I decided to go through the garden center. Why? Because it’s less crowded, right? It was less crowded, it also…
My Redneck Pool 2017
Not much has changed with my redneck pool this year and at the same time everything has changed! I bought a new, bigger redneck pool. (The old one bit the dust.) Which meant making a bigger crop circle pad for it…
Pink Flamingos in the Target Dollar Isle
Did you know that there are pink flamingos in the Target dollar isle? Well, there are. Of course, I had to bring a few of them home. They were calling my name. And it helped that they were perfect to…
Working on the Patio
The weather has been perfect here in Texas lately, so I’ve been working on the patio. I have been spray painting anything that looks even the slightest bit tired and worn. Sadly, I’m going to be here awhile! Spray painting…
Sprucing Up the Front Porch
I love sprucing up the front porch every spring. New flowers, a wreath, and few decorations. It makes the whole house look great. Y’all, I worked all afternoon in hopes that my front porch would be swoon worthy. In retrospect,…
Fall Front Porch
My fall front porch is slowly coming together. It’s still in the 90’s here, so it’s a little hard to shift from summer flowers to autumn leaves. In fact, until this past weekend, you couldn’t find a mum or…
Garden Pole
I found a garden pole that I fell in love with in Austin, TX. In fact, I found several garden poles that were awesome! The quality of the artist’s work was outstanding. The poles were beautiful. However, at $200.00 and…
Happy 4th of July!
I don’t decorate all that much for the 4th of July, but I sure do love the holiday! The 4th brings back so many great memories of food, fun and fireworks. The cicadas and lightening bugs are out. Front porch…
Pink flamingo
I am obsessed with the pink flamingo! I blame my obsession on Target. A few months ago, I received my weekly email from Target introducing their Pillowfort line. When I saw their pink flamingo sheets, I fell in love. One…
Terri’s Porch Swing
I just got back from Oklahoma where we celebrated my sweet Daddy’s 76th birthday. After months of working on the inside, my sister Terri has begun working on the exterior of her bungalow. With that in mind, I was on…
Still Working On The Patio
I’m STILL working on the patio! Why am I still working on the patio? I blame it on the rain. Don’t get me wrong, I am happy that it’s raining. Most of the time. The forecast here is for one…
Trash to Treasure
I admit it. I own it. I pick up things from the trash occasionally. On my morning walks on trash days you might be surprised what people throw out. Now, don’t think I am actively digging in dumpsters, but a…
How To Make A Garden Flag
I came to the hanging of garden flags late in the trend, but once I got there I was on board in a big way. But I am picky. Maybe even a little snobbish about my garden flags. I usually…
Using Chalk Paint Outside
I have been knocking out a ton of small projects, which is good – and bad. Good that I am finally getting around to getting them done. Not so good that it takes time away from my bigger projects. A…
More Flowers On The Front Porch
Have you all gone to the on-line store Antique Farm House? Well, you totally should! Lately I have bought a few things from them and I have to tell you that it is all I can do to wait for…
My Redneck Pool
Remember when I shared my patio cover and new lights this year and you could see part of a “crop circle” in the photo? The crop circle is the pad for my redneck pool. ( It’s only redneck because I…
My Little Blue Planter
I have to admit that I have about twenty projects in the works at one time. Which is rare for me. Now that we have sunny days, I am trying to play catch up with everything I had planned to…
