Autumn Garden Party

In Texas, we had a very, very, very hot summer.  Cooler temperatures are here at last!  I'm having a hard time spending much time inside.

This morning as I was eating breakfast on the deck, one phrase ran through my mind again and again:  "Time for an Autumn Garden Party".  I love a party!  I love gardens!  I love Autumn!  Why not party in the garden this Autumn, right?!
 
Yesterday I found the perfect (and I mean perfect) coffee table for my patio area.  It's from Wisteria.  Made of iron and antiqued glass.  Reflective surfaces are an incredible asset anywhere.  Outside, I adore the way they capture dappled sunlight, reflections of flowers and green, and give an almost liquid effect to light.  This is, by far, my new favorite spot



As always, I have to keep a project on the books.  This week: transform camp chairs into sophisticated seating worthy of a garden party.  I'm enlisting my favorite new toy:  Chalk Paint as well as some lovely, yummy houndstooth fabric I have left over from a drapery project.  I'm thinking some silver leaf may make it's way onto these stools as well, but ... I'm getting ahead of myself!   






 Stay tuned for the finished results.  And ... as always ...

Live Comfortably
