Outdoor Inspiration and Sneak Peek

Taking a brief intermission from my wedding event going on right now, I was anticipating joining some of the Blockg Party in full swing this week.  However, since I've had other things going on...I decided I'd just share what I have up my sleeve.

Pottery Barn

I thought I'd find more on-line inspiration, but apparently neither denim nor navy is a hot summer look for outdoor spaces right now.  The above photo is good, though, can't go wrong with PB.

I'm taking the above ho-hum items (the denim is my inspiration), the striped fabric and rattan are staying for now since they're in good condition, and adding a few updates.  I'm sure they won't look as luxurious as the Pottery Barn photo, but they should look a lot less ho-er and hum-mer. 

Well, since I first drafted this post, I did get a little something done...

Whis---tle!  Yea!  Darling Husband's chair got a recover.  Here's a bit o' before.

Eeek!  Look away, quickly!  That old fabric used to be my drapery fabric in my house, oh, over twelve years ago!  In all fairness, that worn spot was flipped toward the wicker.  Here's a little work in progress:

See how the top of the colored fabric is all bleached out?

Ahh, beautious, this might give Pottery Barn a run for their money.  The patterned pillow on the chair is an outdoor fabric.  I'd eventually like to cover all of my furniture in outdoor fabric.  I just backed this pillow with the denim.   We're overlooking the herb garden my daughter received as a wedding gift, wasn't that a cute idea?

Give me a couple of days and I'll have the whole reveal ready.  I am planning on recovering the ottoman, making a couple more pillows and buying a new outdoor lamp.  Oh, yeah, and cleaning really well.
