Cheap Monday!!

Paint your porch! If you have a back deck, a front porch, or a little entry way that needs a little something special try painting it. I know I've said this before but a little paint can go a long way. A solid color can be really beautiful or any of the patterned ones below are stunning and unexpected. Most of these were done using stencils or just by taping off sections. Who needs an outdoor rug when you can just paint.

Outdoor Movies

It's the last week of summer and I was thinking about a few fun things I would still love to do before it's Halloween and then Thanksgiving and you know the rest. It doesn't technically ever get cold enough outside NOT to have an outdoor movie in Florida, actually the fall is the perfect time. Otherwise you get swarmed with mosquito's and it's just too hot. So start up the outdoor movie party and celebrate the end of summer or the beginning of fall.

This screen was made using a few pieces of scrap wood and a king size sheet stretched and stapled to the frame. A projector can be hooked up to a computer and use some speakers and you are in business. If you start the movie about dusk it usually works out perfect. Make sure to pop some popcorn and bring the blankets, it's going to be a fun night.

I think the weekend is starting early for me. I got up early this morning and went out an had a cup of coffee on the patio before work. Such a nice way to start the day.

Weekend Recap

Just got back from Brooklyn and I feel refreshed and inspired and filled with love from my best friends. I think we might have walked 90 miles over the course of this weekend and I'm very impressed with my very pregnant friend that practically lead the way. :) Here are a few pics from the weekend. 

 This is my friend's patio that I'm obsessed with. It's wonderful because it is so large and private.  To find a patio like this in NYC is nearly impossible, good find, my friend. 

Morning walk in Brooklyn Heights. This is the spot where I started to fall in love with Brooklyn.

This is the Iris Cafe. The food is wonderful it has a great mix of hipster meets farmers market.

These pics are from the Brooklyn Flea Market. I could have died and gone to heaven.

This is the most genius table that my friend purchased. It's actually a picnic table but folds up to an adorable trunk. Oh what will they think of next.

Happy Friday!!

The weather has been so nice I would love to have some friends over and hang out in the back yard! This backyard to be exact....
