Porch Sitting, yes please

It's been raining
 and 
my porch is the best place
 to enjoy the showers.

With every rock I rock 

 and

 every sip I sip, 
it's like  taking

 relaxing to another level.

One thing a southerner

 "must have"

 is a porch. 

 It completes the ideal home.

We southerners enjoy porch sitting,

especially
 at night with a glass of tea or lemonade.

If we say so ourselves, 
porches
are great spaces to socialize with neighbors.

We take pride in greeting ALL passers-by.

 It's not important to know the name, 

we just speak.

I will admit, 
the humidity does limit
 my time outside in
 July and August.

My southern design porch comes 
with comfy black rockers 
dressed 
with throw pillows

 My go to colors are black, white
 and fuchsia. 
The pillows are Hobby Lobby finds.
I purchased the rug at Targets summer end sale last year.

I added white geranium 
to complete the scene.

Versus investing in new lanterns,

 I spray painted to match the rockers
and

removed the broken glass.  

I love the larger size and shape.

My opinion,

if it works, keep it.

It may become a conversational piece. 

The smaller candles are timer candles I used

during winter,

especially

  Christmas season.

Thanks for sharing a few moments

 with me.  

Until next time,

Susan

Inspiring finds

Hello friends!  Come and hang out with me for a while.

I love sharing inspiring décor that kept popping in my mind, day or night.

It's pure happiness when my vision becomes a reality
I love living this kind of life.

Do you want to know my secret?
You must promise it's between the two of us.

Ready? 

I always know I'm in charge of my shopping trips.

Each trip begins with baby steps, one aisle at a time.

I relax and I dream..

and

I dream and I shop.

Did I mention.....
I
never, never stop dreaming?

This gorgeousness is a reality.  It's visible for all who enters my home.

Thanks again.  

Sweet dreams.

Susan

Finds for my office and more

Welcome to the Houz where things are constantly changing, never a bored moment.

I'm so excited to share with you today a few items that caught my eyes over the weekend. Sharing possibilities that will change the atmosphere in my home  office.

My weekend plans didn't include a shopping spree at Hobby Lobby.  
but
no regrets!
I had a great day!

I purchased several items that I admired earlier, 

and

this weekend, I was fortunate to find them on the 80% off clearance aisles. 

lucky me!

Thrifty shopping is all about the timing and location,  location, location. 

Delightful finds ..... all because of the timing and location. 

the rustic look;

the last one standing

and

OMG  this caught my eyes again.

Just 2 left.

 

Love this pic! 

O how I adore this pic

all alone this time on aisle number 2

My motto:  Let your eyes do the walking as you stroll down the clearance aisles. 

Another appreciated  visit from you.
