Patio Sweet Patio!

Dear Patio,
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways....

Jay and I had our patio extended last week because we were tired of looking out at our lovely backyard and never spending any time out there. We went from a 10 x 10 slab to 400 square feet of stamped concrete and we are loving the new outdoor space! Of course the new patio couldn't be disgraced by our old plastic furniture so we upgraded to a new dining table and chairs, and while we were at it we got a new grill too.

The rocking chairs may be my favorite part. They came free from our friend Ashely and used to be white but thanks to a couple of cans of spray paint are now sage green to match the cushions in the new dining set. Thanks Ashely!

Here are some before and after pictures:

A Weekend of Painting!














Well, Jay and I painted the kitchen this weekend and it looks great! We spent 2 hours taping the kitchen on Friday night, and by 3pm Saturday the paint job was complete. I worked a concert at the museum on Saturday night, so I taped the foyer before I left and Jay finished painting that while I was out. Now our whole downstairs is painted, so we have retired our rollers and brushes for a bit. The next project for me will be putting knobs on the kitchen cabinets and drawers...and for Jay: building a deck!

Here is the finished product:
