Sittin', waitin', wishin'...
..for summer. ☔🥶

In the meantime, as we all freeze our a$$es off here in the UK, let's continue with some more patio pørn, shall we? 😁

As part of this a few summers ago, I got this set of garden furniture from , custom-painted it with , and sewed the cushions 🧵🪡 (including fiddling with the piping! 😅) with this gorgeous outdoor fabric from .

What do you think?

For this fine, windy, rainy , I present to you my backyard / garden makeover from the 2021 ORC.

Because it's relatively small, I wanted to give the illusion of a larger space. The 3 main things I considered to achieve this:

1) Added height via tiers (step to the back door).

2) Used curves in the design. (rounded patio and curvy garden pathway).

3) Zoned the space (larger seating area by the house and a second, smaller bistro nook by the garden gate).

And voilà, Bob's your uncle. 👍😁

Did you survive making over your garden / backyard? 😅

Good morning on this bright, sunshiny day! 🌞 Well, this weather is a drastic change from last week, isn't it?! Talk about a 😅

It went from 13°C (55°F) to 26°C (79°C) in a week here in this part of the UK, but we're lovin' EVERY minute of it!! 🌞 🐕🐾👟👣

Since the majority of the population doesn't have A/C here, we're sprawled out on this soft, cool cotton tropical bedding set (previously from ) with the fan blasting at full throttle.

In other news, I've been able to plant my window boxes and hanging baskets before powerwashing my back patio and the pavers in the front of the house, which helps with cooling off. 💦 👍😅

Totally unrelated, here are my summer bedding rotations, also very transformative in their own right. 😁

Do you have summer bedding rotations? ⛱️

Happy sunshiney Sunday, my people. 🌞 I lost followers for showing my mug on the gram on my last post. *ckery 🤣🤣🤣

Anywho, Rex 🐆, the PAWject manager 🐾🐕, and I have lots of stenciling to do in the living room today, so we're outtie like Trey Gowdy, y'all. (Might as well lose followers for being pol*tical while I'm at it 😎).

This hallway shot was taken 1/2-way through my stairway/hall One Room Challenge about 4 years ago and I still love the h*ll out of it, especially the radiator upcycle. 😍

What are you guys up to today?

Does this wall match my outfit from the last post perfectly or what? 🩵 🤍

This is an "on the surface" shot. Swipe to the end for a little dose of behind-the-scenes reality.

This is your friendly PSA to revel in the sunshine (while it's out 🌞) and leave the laundry (and prop decluttering 😬 ) for another day. You're welcome and happy Thursday, my lovely people! 🤗

It's sunny out. Do you bow to your OCD and do your laundry or go have fun instead?

In case you missed it (UK friends), here's what that 30 seconds of sun looked like yesterday. 😂

This was a fun project. Before moving into this new build, I had fun designing the tile layouts for all the bathrooms in the house. And although I had to work with limited tile options from the builder's showroom, I pushed to have their tiler work with me to bring my customized designs to life. I'm so glad I did, because it brought some much-needed character to what would otherwise have been bland, builder-grade spaces.

I'm not sure I'd move into another new build again, though. What camp are you in? New build or period home?
