yard additions

How about this garden idea from For the Love of Lillian -

Something else for the yard ...

Handmade Charlotte shares several playhouse ideas.
This one looks fun and simple and great.  We've seen this type of thing, called a soft wall tent, at camps before (usually with four walls).

Family Room Beauty

Nice chair at the ends of the table - great chairs for my game/puzzle table, and comfy for when we need more seating in the family room.  

This look was found on Sarah Richardson Designs

Been wondering how to stack my blankets in the family room instead of hanging them on a quilt rack.  This large bench / shelf / drawer / tray is a good look. 
It reminds me of Princess and a Pea.  

Found this look on pinterest.

 This bench is from Indulgy - I really like the look of it, but I can't help but think that the legs would eventually break off if used as a bench.  It would be a lovely blanket bench though - stack my blankets on that!

Oh the things people Think ..., and Do ..., and Create ...

I'll never look at a rug the same way again -
Striped Rug Pillows from Martha Stewart
I think they look great on the patio furniture or on the lawn for a picnic! How about on a bale of hay or straw?

Here is a great outdoor bench from BHG to put them on.

They are for melting too!

Bedboards to Bench

I think these things are so clever. My problem is that I get so attached to things that it's hard to change the shape or color of them. I'd have to find the right piece that has no sentimental value in any way. That would mean I'd have to shop more. Ya! Not gonna happen! Well, not at the moment anyway. If I could have several of these around my deck it would look so cool, so maybe I'll have to think harder about the shopping thing.

Cool Bench!

I like this picture because of the bench in the back. I think I can do something like that!!!!!

Funny thought - it's probably really a trough and my eyes aren't seeing it like it is.  Oh well, I do like the bench idea ..., and it makes a great backdrop for this pic.
