You get some closeup shots because I’m not done accessorizing (or planting grass in the surrounding areas!)
The table cloths are meant for beds – the buffalo plaid is a bedskirt that coordinates with the pillow shams I used as place mats. I have had that bedding set for years, and the color and palm-tree toile pattern remind me of Charleston because in our hotel room, there was a white matelasse bedspread with one burgundy pillow, and a burgundy toile chair.
The chenille bedspread came from my mom’s house. It is lightweight, and has a thread of silver running down each row, giving it a little sparkle.
We’ve been battling RAIN the last two weeks, but we finally got grass seed planted Saturday. And even with all this rain, our toesies are staying dry on our way to the house! That was our biggest reason for putting in the walkway and I’m so happy that it’s working, since our old sidewalk created a lot of puddles to jump over!
Now, we had a little problem with the bugs when we were out there – any tips that actually work and won’t endanger our kiddo or dog?

It looks beautiful and I love the idea of using bedding for your table. My mother-in-law actually used a crocheted tablecloth for the canopy of her canopy bed in her guest bedroom.
ReplyDeleteHow charming! Don't you just love the country life? It is so peaceful and serene (when the critters are fed :) and dining on the patio is just soooooo wonderful. I just love your setting! p.s. I have to use "Chinet" because four boys and china makes for too much stress!
ReplyDeleteIt looks so inviting!

Love it! It is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks fabulous! How do you like your pampered chef cookware? I would love to become a sales woman for them one day!
ReplyDeleteAw, how cute! Love your little setup there. Hmm... I hate bugs. We had that problem, too - we finally settling on spraying for bugs (once it dries it's okay for dogs) - not sure on the kiddos, though. It's great stuff, though - once the bugs even walk across the area that's been sprayed they.. well, die. If the flying bugs are bothering you, try some tiki torches or citronella candles.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your little patio set! :)

Wow, you are all set now and ready for summer. It looks cute, like a Bistro almost. I hope you have many great summer evenings out there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute table setting! I would have never thought to use bed spreads.
