My patio

17 years ago

This is one of my favorite spots on my patio. I bought the futon at Goodwill ($25) and recovered the pillows with fabric that coordinates with my other patio furniture. The little pig had a sloppy paint job and the big one was just white, so I had my daughter (the artist in the family) repaint them for me. I gathered the birdhouses one at a time from GW and a local liquidation store. It's a nice, cozy place to sit and have a cold drink or to take an afternoon nap!

Everything looks very inviting. I absolutely love the birdhouses and their placement on your wall. You did a really nice recovering job too. I recently acquired a glider with cushions in rough shape, but I am having trouble finding some reasonable priced fabrics. Any suggestions??

LOVE your birdhouse wall. WOW.
And your patio is definitely inviting, calls for a book and glass of ice tea. I'd love sitting out there.

Ditto to all the messages above! Very comfty-lookin' place...I could take a book & glass of ice-water & dream away the day! Great futon re-make!!!

DH & I make lots of birdhouses...would like to see some of yours close-up...if you've got some more pics! I've seen board fences with bdhses that look good, too! TFS! Jeanne S.

Another place to get outdoor fabric ...."imjustsam" is Hobby Lobby...if you have one nearby...about every other week they run a 40% off coupon in paper & online.

Ooooh, Grandmathyme! I like the tasteful, calm feeling you created. Bravo!

Imjustsam, I don't know much about reasonably priced fabrics that wear well outdoors, but for the time and money involved, I think you can get some ready-made cushions for a reasonable price.
