I’ve done SO many projects since moving in, but am not yet at the point where I can stage things and they will look pretty. And let’s be honest, I am not one of those incredible design bloggers who have fabulous photographer friends anyways, so maybe it’s for the best. So you get to look at my pictures like this, which just show you how I actually live, not how I want you to think that I live. Le sigh.
Moving on. I got this awesome patio set on craigslist for $130, which I felt was maybe not a steal, but definitely a good price. And the set is SUPER comfy. The chairs rock a little, but are stable. So very relaxing.
It was a little rusty and definitely needed a coat of paint to clean it up.

A little wire brush action, and some Rustoleum spray paint in “Lagoon,” and now I have this lovely set.
Lagoon patio furniture is better than rusty white.
I didn’t stage it. I just took some pictures when I was out there enjoying the morning sunshine and looking through cookbooks as I planned menus for the week.
Anyway, quick and dirty post just to show you guys that I am not a total deadbeat and have been doing stuff. I need to get more plants and pretty outdoor accessories, but it’s quickly getting colder so we spend less time outdoors. This will wait until the spring.
Love,
Rachel
PS. My finger hurt SOOOO badly after using that Rustoleum for so long. I like the Krylon easy touch spray.
