outdoor time!

I don't know about you, but with the start of May I have been really excited about outdoor everything!

We're putting one of these in the back: {by we I mean Ben, I tried last year and failed}

And getting some new patio furniture {or rather building it}.

Here are some styles I love! {Obviously we can't build all these, but it's always fun to get some inspiration}

I love colors- even if I can paint some old chairs

I love all the colors, and especially that one in the back- so pretty!

And because we won't buy our furniture from Pottery Barn {although it's absolutely lovely and if you can afford it, please buy it} Here are some of my favorite plans for DIY patio furniture from the one and only Ana White {click the images below for the plans. Note: they may not be complete plans, check the plan catalogue for the complete free plans}

{If you've never built anything I highly recommend it, it's much easier than you think and look what you can accomplish for a fraction of the cost of buying it!}
