Home, Sweet Home ...

... just waiting for summer time.

It's all dressed up with new chairs. And a little table perfectly sized for a pitcher of iced tea and a magazine.

Matt's latest woodworking is sure making me smile as I pull in the drive way. I'm so lucky to be married to such a talented guy. (Kelly, I told him I want a matching window box ... and I think I'm going to get it :D).

I also told him I wanted to paint the chairs aqua. You know what he said? "Okay, you sand off the finish and paint them ... do what you want." I would never ... I mean really can you picture Matt sitting out front in an aqua Adirondack chair? But the fact that he really would let me tells you what a great guy he is ;).
















Thanks to Bunko and Costco, the pots are filled with flowers and the shepherd's hook is nicely dressed up in fuchsia.

And look at this sweet little bird (also from Bunko ... I won big!) I get to look at while I wash dishes.






















Yep, this is what my kitchen window looks out upon ... and it makes me happy because this is home.

Happy Thursday!

Yay for window boxes! The boys helped make mine because I had found a super easy tutorial online. I'm sure Matt will come up with something fancy. :)

What about aqua (and red!) pillows on those chairs?

Now I want to come over and drink tea with you on the porch. :)

Nice chairs! Aqua would be awesome!
As I was sitting in your driveway the other night I contemplated stealing the bird... but you'd figure it out next time you come over :)
