BTW -- the perfect summer drinkie on your patio would be a classic "Harvey Wallbanger" (sunny yellow!) LOL!<BR/><BR/>Cheers!

Yes -- needs some classic black-and-white painted flower pots (in dots and stripes and black gloss) with some bright green potato vine, yellow and white flowers. And then add an umbrella or two -- and have a party! <BR/><BR/>Jan at Rosemary CottageTeacatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899566893360863672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-87119508077918845802008-06-19T19:05:00.000-05:002008-06-19T19:05:00.000-05:00The cushions are great, but you have the most amaz...The cushions are great, but you have the most amazing eye! Why aren't you treating the outside like a room? You need an outdoor rug to brake up all the brick and place some planters next to chairs where an occasional table would go. Remember different heights, just like in a room. FYI, rosemary is easy peasy in containers, full sun and you hardly ever need to water it. Also it smells AMAZING to sit next to and read a book. Perhaps an umbrella for some shade would bring you outside more frequently? Enjoy! I hope to see pics if you add anything!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2487945587083638331.post-63263211429334891362008-06-19T11:10:00.000-05:002008-06-19T11:10:00.000-05:00Our outside is a work in progress, too.

It seems like we lived outside for the best part of the day and into the evening. I miss that lifestyle, I have to admit. No complaints, though.
