UncategorizedWhen We Speak of Magic March 14, 2014Well, I’ve shared my color plan and our big DIY for the Home Depot Style Challenge. But today, I thought I’d pop in quickly to wish you all a happy Friday and share my overall inspiration for our patio. I know what you’re thinking. I already did this, right? I shared the mood board. I’ve talked about colors and kilim. But I’m talking about the feel. The vibe. Know what I mean? A while ago, I came across this lovely simple dinner outdoor dinner party from The Fresh Exchange Blog. And it represented everything I wanted our patio to be. It had nothing to do with design (other than those bulb lights). Yet it was everything I wanted. Will I throw in some kilim? Sure. Will there be some DIY? Of course. But none of that alone will give it the feel I’m looking for. I’m looking for magic. {via} I’m seeking to create a place that is filled with bulb lights, late nights, and possibilities. A place that is pretty, yet comfortable and encourages you to linger longer. A place for star-gazing and fire-sitting, for tasting simple and just-good food. I’m looking to create a destination. For friends. For loved ones. For gathering. I’m hoping for magic. Happy Weekend, friends!

Summer Hogan says March 15, 2014 at 7:25 am I love this picture too and the feel of magic of people gathering! My outdoor space has never felt like this but my dad finished building my deck this winter so I can wait to make it into something magical and draw inspiration from the style challenge! Can’t wait to see what you do! Reply

That’s the whole point of creating a beautiful home, isn’t it? To have a place that we can fill with magical and loving memories. You’re very good at it, and I’m excited to see your patio transformation. Reply
