spring things
how excited was i to find boots products at target? especially the chocolate nail polish i have been searching for. i am a wee bit behind on the trend, but when i looked for it last fall none of the drugstore brands had it yet and the higher end brands were out. and see that glare? sunshine in seattle today folks, mid 60s we're being told. hallelujah! (of course the rain will be back tomorrow)
this weekend was spent searching for the right pots for my deck. now that the fireplace is done and the weather is warming up, i want to finish my outdoor space (what little of it i have!). the green pots in the corner are just right. my metal pots from last year will be moving to my front landing i think.
now i have to come up with a couple creative solutions, one - the kitties (that is lil's tush in the pic) need some sort of barricade, i panic when they get on the top railing. i am thinking tall trellis painted chocolate brown. we'll see. two - i need some sort of awning. i live amongst the trees and you wouldn't believe how much the trees drop onto my deck. i am currently investigating roller shades as a cheap substitute. that way i don't have to worry about leaving my carpet on the deck during the rain as well. lots to do.
here was my deck last summer. not too bad, but i hope to finish my intended projects for it this year so i can move onto my bedroom re-do. it never ends. :)

I like your green pots. Could you do a lattice work of bamboo and have some vies grow on it for the kitties.?
I was looking everywhere for chocolate brown nail polish last year too! I finally found some at Target, Sally Hanson Haute Chocolate, last week. I've got it on my toes right now :).
Your patio looks fab already with all that green!
Have you checked out Coolaroo shade sails? We use one on the backyard during the summer months so that our plants don't get sun stroke. One of them might keep the leafy debris out of your pretty patio.
As a girl (now 50) who grew up with No7 in Scotland, then Canada I went nuts last week when I spotted the isle at Target. My wonderful husband secretly bought a gift card for me to splure on No7, what a guy.
Love those two green pots! Those are terrific. Your deck looked wonderful last year. Unless the trees are close enough to jump to, or your cats are really old, I don't think you need to worry about them being up there. My cat does that all the time, and for her it's a 3-story drop. She just likes to see what's going on out in the world. And watch the birds. :-)
