Finally we have some cooler weather in Orlando
The perfect time to spruce up the patio
In all honesty, I seldom use the patio in the summer, it is just to hot. So, when the humidity and temps fall to the 70's like last week, it was perfect time to do some outdoor work
How embarrassing is this...
...Yep, my patio chairs....Falling apart
About every 3 years they totally disintegrate due to the Florida heat, humidity, and sun.
I cut out 6 plywood circles
And used a couple different outdoor fabrics to recover the 6 chairs
Blue is my new favorite color, inside and outside of my house. I now have a blue bedroom, blue living room, blue bathroom and .......Blue patio
I potted new flowers. I was limited on the flower choices since there is not many plants that flower in the winter.
A new faux flower center piece
And a fresh new pillow for the rocker
The perfect place to sit and enjoy my afternoon cup of creme brulee coffee.
Happy Creating
Carol

ReplyDeleteCharming! As I watch the snow falling again here in Pennsylvania, I wonder why I am not living in Florida????? Seriously though, your patio looks beautiful. Hope you have many wonderful, relaxing times there!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! Winter in Oregon... my patio is a total wreck of dead leaves and junk "parked" there until it isn't raining and I feel inclined to haul them out to the garden shed. Flowers in Winter - jealous. You are miles ahead of me!
ReplyDeleteThe patio looks lovely now, Carol! What a wonderful place to sit and drink tea with a book or a friend.
