Before we know it, we’ll be sipping frozen cocktails on our porches and patios this summer so we might as well do it in style!

Although I’d love to discuss outdoor flat screens, rooms over pools, etc. I’m going to focus on outdoor rugs today.

So if you missed earlier posts I discussed where to buy your affordable outdoor loungey furniture

and where to place all of your beautiful flowers

Now I’m moving onto the finishing touches with my favorite outdoor rugs. So, take a gander…

Love the blue and white!

Looking to give an old, outdated piece of furniture a more modern look?

Well, I have a very talented designer friend, Shannon Duzy, who is a fabulous do-it-yourselfer and loves to tackle projects like painting furniture on her own. So I hope you enjoy her guest post on …

How To Make Your Own Chalk Paint

Hi there! Shannon Duzy from

Duzy Designs

here and I had several pieces of furniture in my home that needed some serious painting.  I wanted to paint the furniture with chalk paint because I knew there was no prep work needed and the paint sticks to the furniture very well.

So I did some research on chalk paint. I found an easy recipe: use one cup of latex paint in any color and finish (flat, semigloss, etc.) and then add 2 tablespoons of unsanded grout.

Hope you enjoyed this do-it-yourself project!! Until next time …
