Throw on some cozy blankets and pillows, and you’ve got yourself a little slice of heaven right in your backyard. Just imagine […]

I made the swing out of old deck boards. The pressure treated 6×6′s are cemented 4 feet in the ground. The top two boards are 10 feet long by 3 inches thick by 10 inches high I used large 10,000lb bolts for the weight and look (yes over kill)..lol . I

there are just certain things in life that urge opinionated people to express themselves. this fine lady is one of them. i have heard: creepy, scary, so serious, matronly and the list goes on and on. for several years i kept her hidden behind other paintings, feeling bad that so many people had such strong reaction toward her. i mean, she was a living breathing woman. well, her and i had a long talk and decided i would stay true to my "love at first sight" feelings and she was coming out of hiding. our relationship has only blossomed and i find her to be very protective, kind, wise and a bit stylish if i do say so myself. oh, we met in 2000 at a seattle auction house.
When the first warm days of spring arrive, I can't wait to get outside and prepare a space to enjoy all of that fresh air I have been craving. I usually begin with our covered patio. When BJ's® Wholesale Club asked if I would like to use some of their items to refresh my space for spring, I jumped at the opportunity. My husband and I headed to our local BJ's and had fun perusing the outdoor decor/furniture aisles. We appreciate shopping in stores where we can grab some new outdoor decor AND pick up the milk and orange juice that we always seem to need with 3 growing boys in our house. I was especially glad to have him along because he helped me haul the big new rug that we selected. We decided to start our refresh with an outdoor rug. Our old concrete patio has acquired a few cracks and this rug really helps to camouflage that. I like the texture it adds with the natural colors. I enjoy how it really dresses up the space and makes it feel more cozy - more like an outdoor room than a patio. I think our sweet pup, Dax, agrees and has found a new outdoor napping spot. :) We also picked up some new planters. I love the look of the stone on these planters. They add such great color and texture to this area. I added a couple of potted ferns by simply plopping them into the new planters. So easy! The beige "knitted" look planter is also a new find from BJ's. It reminds me of a cozy knit sweater. Just perfect to help cozy up our patio. I also grabbed the striped bag to add another pattern to the space. We are always on-the-go at time of year so this bag will certainly be put to good use this spring. I kept a majority of the area open and uncluttered because with 3 boys and 2 dogs, there is a great deal of activity happening in this space each day. I love to garden so new clippers are a must each year. These are such a pretty mint green color and they came in a package all together. I am so looking forward to peony season and cutting my own bouquets to bring indoors. And let's not forget about the lilacs. I think I can smell them already. There is nothing quite like the new beginnings that spring always brings. And now, if you'll excuse me, I am going to head on out to our "new" covered patio and relax for a few minutes with the pups. Happy spring! Disclosure: BJ's® Wholesale Club provided items for this post, but all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own.

This pergola swing has been an ongoing project. Do you remember when we started this. I believe it was July 4 weekend. Then it rained for 40 days and 40 nights. Honestly, the project got put on hold for WEEKS because of the mud around that area. We then got the brick pad done under […]
I keep reading over and over again about how much a simple walk in the woods can improve our mental health. I completely believe it! When I’m out in my little garden, or tromping through the forest with my girls, I feel so relaxed. It’s so therapeutic. If you’re like me and you suffer from anxiety or...
