Oh Boy, This is new to me!
I have wanted to show my creations on
the CSI blog, but I haven't dared. . .
I am new to blogging and showing my "stuff"
So please bear with me as I show
My Apartment Patio
The texture of the twine
I think makes it a perfect
place for the cute little
cacti plant
comes from the thrift store DI
I paint most things, but. . .
this little stool I will leave the way it is
I like the patiena (however you spell it) on it.
serves a purpose on my patio
It holds a pot of plants and bucket for my USA flags
giving patio space vibrant color
The table was a cheap find at DI
It was ugly
and needed
tender loving care
so I spray painted it.
My first time with spray paint.
Now watch out, nothing is safe
when I am spray painting!
These last two pictures are my "treasures".
They give my patio its personality
(Yes, it has a personality)
My yellow chair is a "road kill" find!
I love her! Really I do. . . .
I don't like pots in the "hole"
so I have a painted a cupboard door
for a shelf to put the pots on. . .
This is also a cheap find from DI.
I painted it and turned it into a real treasure.
I REALLY LOVE IT!
The colored pots set it off!
I enjoy sitting on my patio in the evenings
enjoying the colors of not only the furniture
but the flowers. . . . and the surroundings
I believe where ever we are planted
we can make it
BLOOM.

I love all of the fun colors on your porch! I think the yellow chair is my fav (I am totally drawn to yellow lately).
I love the textural contrast between the twine and the smooth cactus. What's "DI"? I'm totally with you on "nothing being safe" now that I've discovered spray painting. :) Congrats for stepping out of your comfort zone and posting! ((fellow CSI poster))
