Winter Blues

I'm to the point now where I am over winter. I'm tired of being pale, wearing sweaters, and deep moisturizing. I'm trying to get myself through these next 6 weeks (how reliable is that groundhog thing anyways?) with visions of what I want to do to my back deck once the weather gets better. This question has been stumping me for the two years I've lived in this house, which is a bit alarming for me cause I always know what I want to do. Then last night HGTV brought the greatness and now I know exactly what I want to do.

Key West inspired back deck, straight from their new show The Outdoor Room with Jamie Durie. It has all the things I love: lush plants, white washing, soft fabrics, and pops of color. Now this is going to take some doing (removing a huge tree that blocks all the sunlight going back there, cutting down some of the giant fence, redoing the water rotted deck included) but at least I have a plan now. Whew I feel much better and I'm going to start planning all the steps as soon as the sun shines for more than one day at a time.

Oh and I am still working on that "knobs in the wall" project as my Dad calls it. I'm actually off to Home Depot now to consult with the experts. Wish me luck!
