Outdoor Projects Continue....

Here's the glider I painted black....

....and the swing

I found this material - on sale - this week to use on the glider and swing. You can go here to see the cushions I found at Target - since I bought all the cushions they had I was really happy to find this material which blends with those ready made cushions. The floral fabric was 1/2 off 1/2 off (does that make sense?) so it was ALMOST FREE! The striped fabric was 1/2 off the regular price of $19.00 a yard and I needed a little over a yard of that.

See how good they go together?

These black and lime green pillows from Wal Mart were $5.00 each!
I'll use them for accent pillows

Click to enlarge the pictures and you can see the lime green in both pieces of fabric and that's why I got the green pillows. I love how this combination looks together.

I can't believe I'm saying this but I think this will finally complete my patio and deck projects. I do want to paint a harlequin or checkerboard "rug" on the deck but that will be later down the road...maybe this fall when things cool off or even next spring. But it's definately on my "to do" list.

The next outdoor project will be adding a planter wall across from my kitchen window and some stepping stones from one side of the yard to the deck area - this is where my dog has dug holes to China so I'm hoping to discourage her from that! Of course, she'll just find a new place to dig.....any suggestions on how to stop a "digging dog" will be much appreciated!

We're off to son's house to cookout for his birthday. Ya'll have a safe and happy weekend!
