Outdoor Spaces

Spotted this outdoor rug in the CB2 catalogue last night. Isn't it amazing?! All my favorite colors—I'm just crazy about bright colors in the summer. It's called Casbah (which immediately made me burst into The Clash's Rock the Casbah last night!) I would love to have to have two of these spread out over my patio this summer. And maybe some pillows in orange, red and purple and some cool perforated tin lanterns? It will be our own special Moroccan retreat!

Have been a super busy bee every weekend for the past two months. It better start getting little warmer soon, so we can get some more of the winter messes cleaned up in the backyard. I'm really hoping to have Campbell's first birthday party in the backyard—we have really nowhere to put all the people inside our little house! We just have to get everything ready for May 13! (I can't believe her first birthday will be on Friday the 13th)

This past weekend's projects included refurbishing the old teak lounges. These have been put on the curb at least five times this year, and then I have changed my mind and brought them back in. Good thing because we just painted them this cool slate grey and the look amazing. I'm thinking together with the rugs, they will look really nice!
