Elsewhere: A Sunny Patio

First, Holly created a pretty little living room. Then Ez created a fresh, inviting home office to coexist in the same (virtual) house. Which brought us to… the Blogger House Party.

Several bloggers (myself included, yay!) are each creating another room for our virtual client’s home. We have Holly’s short bio to go on, and a general palette of “yellow, white, and pretty pastels”.

Home owner: Young single mother (cookbook author) with a son living in a 18th century Georgian townhouse in Savannah Georgia approx. 2000 sq ft., 2 floors, 3 bedrooms (one is an office), and a large patio off of the kitchen. She loves to entertain, enjoys pastels and Swedish decor, decorating on somewhat of a budget but she can splurge on one expensive item per room. Loves pattern and feminine touches but can’t deal with too much clutter.

I have to say, I love this whole idea. How fun! I can’t wait to see what everyone came up with. I created our client’s patio…

I chose to splurge on the chairs (so worth it). The lovely egg-shaped planter could be considered another splurge ($95 for a little planter), but it adds such a yummy, glossy pop of color that I just had to include it. The table is a bit on the expensive side too, and honestly? Inexpensive wooden tables are going to pop up all over the place once summer gets a little closer, so I’d just keep an eye out. I think IKEA had one last year for about $100.

OK, I’m looking forward to spring and summer now. :) Thanks for putting this together, Holly and Ez!
