It's Cold Again. Make It Stop.

May 24, 2013

May has been a tempermental son of a gun. And like most everything else these days, it's starting to annoy me. How's that for pleasant?

The crappy weather has me thinking about warmer weather, which leads me to think of one of the (many) things I'm excited about for the new house - porches! Our current house has zero porches, and sitting in the middle of the lawn just doesn't have the same feel as sitting on a porch. Unless you are picnicing.

The new house has a whopping three porches. One out front, one out the back/side, and one above the front porch that is accessed from the hall of the second floor. Is it called a verandah? Sounds fancy pants.

While I can't do anything more than dream about sitting out at this point, I'm going to share some of my favourite inspiration images from my "Curb Appeal" board on Pinterest. I feel that it's important to note that Alan Jackson's Where I Come From is rolling through my head while I write this. Do with that information what you will.

Big picture inspiration aside, here's a few ideas for seating that I'm jonesing over.

Love it. Love all of it.

I've had the windows open all week. In Kansas a week away from June? Unheard of.
Uhg. I know! We finally got some sun again today, but the cold, raininess of the last few days has been rather disappointing. Though, my plants have been loving the rain! Sadly, it doesn't look like it's going to warm up and I might even have to start worrying about it getting too cold for my poor little seedlings!

I love the inspiration shot of the black and white table setting!

I want a swing or rocking chairs for our front porch so badly! I've been dreaming of our patio and how to decorate it. It's only natural to dream of the outside spaces when it's warm/hot outside.

I really like this outdoor rocking chair and the Costco especially. Winter is my favorite season. I love winter too much that I can enjoy round the year in the winter season. But yes most of the people don’t like winter too much. As they found it very cold. I think this assignment masters writing service is the only reason.
