Happy summer!! Yay! There's nothing I love more than summer- and summer requires a good patio, right? Right. So, when we moved into our little bungalow here, I wanted the backyard to be a fun place to hang out. Enter some new patio furniture and some plants i'm going to try really hard not to kill... and wah-lah! So please enjoy some pics of our little outdoor abode.
(More house pics to come soon)

Ok, they sell these ceramic garden stools at Pottery Barn for $159!!! What?!! So I almost fell over when I saw these at Garden Ridge for $12! (That's right- I said $12). Yes, they were a hideous ghetto gold, but that's nothing a little spray paint can't fix. I LOVE them!
