House to Home: Outdoor Dreaming

after the winter we've had, i have never been so happy to see our bulbs coming up.  i have been counting the flowers around the garden, showing them to Maku whenever i can.

i have been thinking about planting flowers and cleaning up our outdoor living space, here are some of our inspirations.

#1 - porch
our front porch is larger than the back, and we have enough space for a large wicker couch as well as an armchair with ottoman & rocking chair.  these were hand me downs from my aunt and came with some nice cushions, but the covers have met their end.  i've been looking for new fabric options, and am ready to hit the upholstery shop.

one option is to go with a greenish grey print - mix stripes and florals, similiar to what it was originally covered with but updated.

Richloom Solarium Outdoor Maitlin Pool
Richloom Solarium Outdoor Kirkwood Pool
i am pretty much sold on this color combination, however.


that is what we have, and this is what i have pinned, some of my favorites...are you noticing any trends?
 
future planning...
next year i think will be the year to paint the exterior of the house, replace our fencing and do an outdoor fireplace/ patio in the far rear.  for that, i am lusting over a spun fiberglass dining set.

found this on craigslist columbus.  fingers crossed for husband approval.  $450.00 (steal!)
