Backyard Decorating

Its time to move outside!!  Our backyard has always been our oasis.  Yes, it needs some updating, but it has good bones and lots of potential. The best parts - Large open space and LOTS of privacy!  

So, slowly we are getting around to updating and decorating the backyard.  Starting this week I am going to give the fences some new grey paint.  The hubby has sanded them and they are ready to be beautified....stay tuned!

Also thinking about adding a few furniture pieces....

I think these chairs would be perfect in front of our chimnea.  Made of 100% recycled plastic so I wouldn't have to stain them every year.  I like that!

Maybe a few lanterns to set the mood...

 And pretty cushions of course...

Also need to figure out which plants to put in the pots....but that's another post!  Now to get started.....summer doesn't last long in these parts!!

How are you decorating your yard this year?

Holiday Decor // Easter

Easter is fast approaching and I am definitely not ready for it.  It always seems to sneak up on me!  I'm not one for decorating for this holiday, but my girls love any excuse to spruce up the house with color!  These are a few things I would like to add to our decor this season.

Pretty little flower arrangements set in egg shells.  Perfect for decorating the table at Easter dinner.

Love this idea for the table setting....bunny ears!

And of course, we MUST do an Easter craft....this one looks like fun...and easy too!  Looks like we'll be taking a trip to the paint store....

How do you decorate for Easter?

Gallery Walls//New Life

Who doesn't love a perfectly curated gallery wall?  I have been wanting to change mine up for quite some time now. I have had this arrangement for 6 years now (yikes)! Hoping to get some inspiration and motivation soon!!

I love the way a gallery wall looks, but the planning involved can be daunting.  Symmetrical or eclectic?  Similar frames or different? Color photos or black and white? Lots to decide.....
