I loved their service and help with my set and I choose this Sunbrella Sailcloth Salt fabric, below left, for my three pieces- two chairs and an ottoman… I found a local shop, Krupps Upholstery in Campbell, a family owned business with father and his son, a veteran that just did 8 years in Iraq, and is now studying business at San Francisco State. Isn’t that terrible?ĭo you ever have a project like that and it just sits and for some reason you never do it? Well this week I did it! I’m so happy and I will have a nice little sitting area just for me, outside my office doors. It’s one of those things I’ve been meaning to do for two years. I decided to recover them in new Sunbrella fabric and have the stuffing redone as well. I’ve had a furniture set for many years outside my office door that needs new cushions. It’s a great time to grab these cotton ones as I see they are beginning to make way for the heavier fall and winter throws already! Recovering Outdoor Furniture Pieces They have some great ones in store that are similar with a small stripe. In the throws, I have this denim blue one, below and this stripe and this chevron one. It’s a good time to get any outdoor items! It’s not online, but I noticed there are still a lot of them left in stores and they are $49! Our sofa is the Pacifica Sofa in Driftwood from Serena & Lily. I like that they are from Portugal, where they have a lot of high quality textiles.Īlso I found this Panama Jack brand folding wicker/wood outdoor table and I love it. Everyone likes wrapping themselves up them in the morning sipping coffee or at night. I have a few on the backs of the couch and more in a basket. I love the slightly nubby weave on them, and the variety of designs in soft grey and blues. I think I may have found the best compromise at Homegoods (aka TJ Max), with these 100% cotton throws from Portugal… That said I also don’t want them to be too pricey. I’ll try to get a whole yard photo, but you can kind of see how it’s working… Throws and folding table at TJMaxx’s /HomegoodsĮach year I seem to want to change up the throws outside. We are enjoying it in the mornings more now out here as things don’t get so dewy. These sails are from Amazon and make the patio feel like an outdoor room, and gives us much more space, without the umbrellas underfoot. My only complaint is I would have preferred white, but he though neutral was a good color and ordered it without spousal approval. It came Saturday, and he put it up on Sunday! I am pleasantly surprised how much we love it. I wasn’t sure, as it has to be stretched across the pool and anchored on a fence. Max came up with the idea of a solar sail.
It’s an Ipe wood deck and while I love it, it can be hard to get all the furniture on it and also have a space for an umbrella…and with multiple ones it’s lame and crowded.Įarlier this year, I looked into a cantilevered umbrella, so we wouldn’t have the umbrella underfoot, but the walkway where it would go, isn’t wide enough. Our patio, right off our main space, is almost like an island, surrounded by water. We have an oddly shaped yard with a pool with a lap lane, that wraps around the house. Better late than winter right? That is so us! Well before summer is over, we are finally getting a few things in the yard done. Have you been to the beach lately? Have you had an evening ice cream cone or taken a picnic to the woods? Have you set out a chair and watched the stars at night with your family or enjoyed a summer gathering with neighbors? If not, get to it! Where did the summer go? Time to go out and grab those fleeting summer pleasures before fall sneaks up on us. Hard to believe it’s already August and kids are starting back to school in a few weeks. It’s that time again for all the good things that popped up on our radars this week with Elizabeth and Juliet. On this Weekend Meanderings.Some outdoor updates with a solar sail, the perfect outdoor throws to cozy up with, a beautiful book on creating a memorable table, the best makeup tips, and a transitional summer to fall cardigan I am obsessed with…
