Welcome friends,
Yes, it's time to get motivated and get our patio ready so we can enjoy it all summer. Last summer I decided to decorate it in lavender/purple since it has always been one of my favorite colors. Here are a few photos that I have taken.
This is the before:

Painted this chair last summer, will freshen it up again this year.

Painted this mirror which I bought at a Goodwill store and made this curtain for the entrance or exit gate of the patio...

When I get a few spare moments I like to make items for a shop that I am in now, Country Gifts in Temple City, CA...This is the the small stool I bought...

Here is how I re-covered it. Everyone knows how I love cats and feed homeless cats that gather here. By the way this stool is sold.
Hopefully will have time to post again, as you know I have an invalid husband and not that much spare time. Blessings to all...
