Well, Memorial Day weekend officially marks the beginning of summer for me and has inspired me to get going on the outdoor projects that have been neglected all winter long. First, it was screen porch! My husband with all this time on his hands decides to rip off the vinyl siding on the wall connecting the porch to the house to make the porch feel more like a "room", which then led to painting the wall a beautiful peaceful green, which led me to go fabric shopping for covering the cheap Wal Mart cushions on our porch set....pictures of that will follow as soon as we get the porch set up tomorrow. In the mean time, the outdoor gazebo went up which is where the family meals take place during the summer....which then led to lighting...which is where I run into Liliana...my creative friend who gave me the idea to blog this project. The first trip was to Jo Ann's to collect the wire wreaths, then to Home Depot to find the outdoor string of lights...and chain to connect the wire frames..and an extension cord. Now all I need are some ideas for covering up the cords..I thought pretty ribbons, or flowers or greenery??any ideas anyone? Looks great hanging over the table, can't wait to try it out at night! until next time.
