The weekend is finally here, yippee!
What do you have planned for your long holiday weekend?
I'll be spending part of my time spreading more rock in my backyard, I ordered 4 yards of chip rock to be delivered on Sunday. This will probably be the last landscaping project for this year since it's already September.
But!!... I do have another project in my backyard I'm working on... it's my patio!
Since I'm still planning and working on it I thought today I'd share some of my inspiration!
I'm not planning on having a bed on my patio but I am working on a pallet love seat! I'm so excited to finish that project to share! I have the sofa done and I just ordered some foam to make the cushions. I am planning on lots of pillows like this bed though and I love the neutral color scheme.
I also love the rug in this picture and I have one that is similar already :o)

I want a coffee table in front of the love seat and I really like this rustic crate coffee table... and I happen to have an old green crate very similar to this that I found at the dump so I'm going to try and repurpose it into a new coffee table.

Then I think I'll also need a side table, I think this one made from a whiskey barrel is cool... and guess what? ... I have one (two actually)! Mine are plastic but they look pretty real so we'll see how that turns out.

Then I'd like some fun accents to liven the space up a bit. I love old ladders used as decorative pieces. I have an old ladder similar to this one that I picked up at a garage sale for just $3.00!

I also really like these fun painted terracotta pots too. The one with the scallops is my favorite but I like the two on the top shelf that are painted with white around a quarter and half of the pots... oh! and the one on the bottom shelf too! Oh who am I kidding? I love them all!
And I have blank terracotta pots just begging to be made over! ;o)

And I definitely think I need some tassels!! I'll be making some, I have a lot of fabric in my craft room so I should be able to come up with something to use.

And here is my patio that I will be making over. This is an old picture though. I don't have that love seat anymore but that is the rug I mentioned above!
That door definitely needs to be painted too!
