When it's bleak outside I get a little depressed... I don't like the cold. Or cloudy, dark, dank days... I like sunshine. Blue sky. Warmth, friends! We all know Summer was a little tempestuous, to say the least. There was an awful lot of gray and rain, and not nearly enough opportunities to appreciate the outdoors I reckon!
A few days ago when Fern was at preschool, Elliott and I took matters into our own hands and decided to brighten things up a little. We hit the nursery. And bought these trinkets:
 |
| a bright lime green hanging lantern |
 |
| bright pink flowers for the table |
 |
| A new Adirondack chair (from the Jamie Durie range) |
 |
| A set of three tables (bargain $20 each from Freedom - not intended for outdoors but powder coated metal and at that price, who cares if I only get a year out of them?!) |
 |
| New tables close up - sorry, sun ironically shining as I snapped these pics! |
... and I felt instantly happier! Nothing like a bit of colour to brighten MY spirits! What brightens YOURS when its bleak outside?
I LOVE your outdoor area - it's fantastic! THe splashes of colour look great as well - looks like a happy place. :D

Your courtyard looks like the perfect spot, rain or shine! The tables are lovely, especially with the sun shining through them. x
