A couple of weekends ago, we rented a pressure washer and gave our deck and patio a good rinse off. I love it when everything is clean and fresh and all you have to do is sit there, relax, and enjoy the moment without fixating on things that need to be done. Know what I mean? Of course there is always something that needs to be done, but for now the big things are under control. I really wanted to add pattern to our outdoor space. At the same time, I did not want to take away from the green foliage and flowers. So I found some wonderful black and white striped outdoor pillows on this etsy shop. I ordered them and they arrived within two days. Talk about service. They are exactly what I wanted. Now all I need is a foot rub and an umbrella drink ;)
P.S. The flower is false indigo, Latin name baptista. I love it! My only complaint as with any flower is that is does not last long enough. Funny thing, I did not notice the little guy with antennas looking at me until I uploaded the picture. I think he likes false indigo too.
Those are super cute. I am such a lover of stripes. And the inspiration board is so so pretty. I really love how neutral it all is.
