My Spring deck... this way

Spring deck wish list!

I just stared at my deck for a few minutes. 
So many thoughts kept running thru my mind.  
The temp was STILL cold;
either raining or light snow.
It was another cloudy spring day!
But 
I had a plan.
I couldn't wait!

I knew I must make 
the deck a spring getaway.
I knew it had to be cozy.

I envisioned containers 
overflowing with blooms
 on every corner,
 on tables,
and
on any available stand.

Each chair needed a pillow.
 They could be of
different color,
 solid
or 
floral.


I didn't forget the need for lush greenery .

 I began to use my powers of thrifting.

First, I shopped within my home.
Then I checked out @Lowe's plant clearance rack.

My deck transformed into 
 a cozy retreat.  

If you're looking for me, I'm celebrating the arrival of spring with 
warmer weather.  

This is it!














Let them bloom!

















Until the next time,

Susan

Tablescape with shades of purple


I just want to warn you, my tablescape
 doesn't have placements.

Yes, forgo the placements! 
I didn't go with the tradition. 
 That's it,
 I mixed and matched serving trays. 

Just a note, 
it didn't all come together on the  first try.

My inspiration started with the 
serving trays.

I pulled out 2 Kate Spade cups I scored  2 years ago from
@Homegoods for 2 dollars each.
A 50 cent scarf layered between
Pottery Barn plates and serving trays added  more color.

Perfect for spring,
 a combination of fresh flower serving as a centerpiece. 
 After purchasing the greenery,
I realized it could have been free from my yard.
  Now I know, right?

Take a look.
  Don't forget your coffee,
 as I have a few pics to share.
 Expect to see lots of color.
Enjoy...




























Until the next time
