Gardenhouse

Have you been to Gardenhouse? They take vintage pieces, add some modern touches and then sell them. Their work is beautiful and I love all the outdoor furniture pieces.

Garden DIY Project

This last weekend my man planted us a garden! Filled with tomoatoes anf pepper plants to start. We got a little late start on it but he has quite the green thumb so I'm hoping it will survive.

But to label our new garden I want to make these spoon identifiers. And I found a DIY tutorial right here on Shrimp Salad Circus! It looks super simple so I cannot wait.

Wishing I had a HUGE porch

How wonderful are all of these delightful things found in the newest Anthropologie catalog?!?

These lawn chairs in so many bright colors.

This crazy curvy chair that makes me want to be in Alice in Wonderland.

Aaand this lovely garden bench that I wish I had.

Vote for the garden!

Calling all Phoenix residents...you NEED to vote for this project. Pepsi is holding the Pepsi Refresh Project for Neighborhoods and the Melrose Curve Community has submitted a project to create a community garden along 7th avenue with 2d and 3d art (currently under the lotto billboard). If the project wins Melrose Curve Community will win a $250K grant...that would be huge. So go here and vote for this idea, once a day for the full month of May.

DIY Trellis

So when we moved we had this old mattress box spring that was sitting in our garage. After many months of it just sitting there we ripped everything off and reveled a pretty cool looking skeleton.

What did we do with that skeleton? My boyfriend had the grand idea to mount it to our block wall for a trellis. And now it is one of my favorite things about the yard!

Gotta love these ceramics.

How lovely are these ceramics by Pigeon Toe Ceramics in Portland, Oregon? I saw them on Cool Hunting recenlty and instantly fell in love. And their into paragraph about them is just too cute I had to share...

"You know when you visit your local vintage shoppe hoping for that rare, once-in-a-lifetime find that you spend a lifetime searching for? Or perhaps when you take your first trip overseas, staring out of the airplane window seat at the vast ocean below you. Or your first boy/girl dance? That’s Pigeon Toe."
