sitting area

19 years ago

I'm going to attempt to attach a picture of my new sitting area on the shady part of our deck!

This area previously had garage door sections set on sawhorses for a table for the 3 kids parties we had in 6 weeks time. Plus my old dryer that was there for 4 months, a hose reel, old toys, etc. It was a junk yard for sure :)

I used the Krylon plastic paint and painted the old white table beige (the color of all of our outdoor furniture) and then painted two really old white plastic chairs blue! I love the color! My entire family all asked "why blue"? I like it because it's not beige! LOL!

I planted impatiens in my patriotic baskets. Added the birdhouse my 14 year old son made (that I also painted patriotic) on the railing. Then I put the bird's nest I found on the ground in a tea cup.

The 2nd chair needs one more coat of paint and then it will be there as well. I just want to hang a mirror on the side of the house, above the table with my hanging candle lantern hanging in front of it. Then I will feel like I have a nice "outdoor" room that stays fairly cool but feels like inside :)

If I can't attach my picture, I'll add it to my webshots page and post a link. Thanks for looking! I love my blue chairs :)

I like your sitting area. Very cute! But I don't like your flag...because I'm a Packer fan! Just kidding! I like the idea of adding a mirror over the table too. Very nice!

I'm with you on the blue chairs. I did one like that last year and just love the way it pops in the yard. And certainly goes well with your patriotic things.

Great looking blue chair. I did a lot of my garden accessories in the same brillant blue when I saw it in a country mag - so pretty.

Was wondering, could you post the same pic, only larger. I think these small pics make it hard to see the details of things. I'm hoping to get a close up of the patriotic planters, I love Americana. Thanks.

I like beige in my garden for furniture, anything but white.I try to do the natural thing and white is just so WELL white! Other people seem to be able to use it maybe my yard is just to large to be putting in white.
But lately Im liking that lime green and I already have my blue bottles so those colors are welcome also!

My entire house, garage, inside and out is as much Americana as I can get it, but can always have more red, white, (beige in my case) and blue! :) Our house front is burgandy/dark red, with partially finished beige trim. I feel like everything "I" can't do never gets done! But, considering I only work 6 months a year, I can't exactly complain when dh is busy now can I?

Had to laugh countrygrl 'cuz I can remember your Packers beating our Patriots on more than one occasion :) HUGE football fan here! Patriots decor abounds, my welcome mat, my truck, flags, signed footballs and jerseys, etc. Our dog is named Bruschi even :) Looking forward to this season if Brady can keep his mind on football :) Favre will do just fine if he isn't supposed to be the entire team :)

SAL, I will put the "regular" size picture on my webshots page. I've found by trying to post a picture on this forum I keep getting rejected until it's miniscule!

goldenpond- I used SO much white when we had our duplex I got sick of it! We had 5 of us in a 4 room house! (3 kids crammed in 1 room!) I decided I wanted the beige when we got "our house" I think my dh feels I've over done it, but, I'm sorry, it's WAY better than pale yellow along with teal green like the former owners had! For my plants and flowers I tend to go for purple and white but am usually only using what will attract the birds and butterflies :)

Thanks to all for looking! I'll add the regular sized picture to my webshots page shortly. (computer is "really" slow today!)

I finally got the larger pictures on my webshots page Sal! Kids had me running around yesterday and I ran out of time (let alone the slow computer yesterday!)
