It has been a wonderful week in my life. My long lost college roommate/BFF during our high school years found me through a web search. It's funny, because I had been trying to find her for months. I hope that we don't lose touch again...it was such a beautiful surprise.
I started telling Bryan (DH) stories about our first place outside of the dorm. I was redesigning even then. We had a college budget, but bought mismatched chairs, painted them all the same color and recovered the seats. Sewed window treatments, recovered hand-me down sofas and chairs and created a home away from our "homes". What great memories...I now realize the place was probably a really run down triplex off a college campus, but to us it was a castle! We hosted parties and friends and thought we were "real" adults.
Wanted to share one of my favorite finds this week:
It is from Pottery Barn, but it brings home the point beautifully that our outdoor spaces are more than yards or patios. They are valuable square footage and should be treated as outdoor LIVING spaces.
