We had a patio built in our backyard, with a pergola, and I have wanted furniture for that space ever since, but outside furniture is expensive! Especially if you are only using it a few months out of the year. Well, this year we decided to make some. I found some plans and got Larry to start working on them. He built a sofa and two chairs. We bought cushions, and I made pillows to add. We went to the D.I. and looked for a table that would work out there, and we found one with a really ugly coat of green crackle paint. It was cheap, so we brought it home, sanded off the ugly green, and I painted a beautiful sunset on it. So the pillows I made match the colors in the painting.
Then I planted a fairy garden in a pot and made a table for it to sit on out of the left-over lumber, I repaired and hung the long wind chime that has been in the shop for a while, planted more flowers and found a small side table with a candle lantern to go out there as well. It is now a fun place to relax on the cool weekend mornings or in the evening shade.
