JOYS OF HOME: Patio Pretties

Tuesday, September 6, 2011

The last holiday of summer is over and I'm sad that I haven't had much of a chance to enjoy my back patio. I gave it a make-over in the spring.

The color scheme has changed a bit over the years.
It was once the colors of ketchup and mustard.

Then it was decorated with subdued neutrals.

I'm really liking the new scheme of black, lime, and turquoise.

Luckily I have at least one month left to spend some time relaxing and taking in the last weeks of summer.
