Fridays Pretties & Patio
This is our very Pretty patio!
I am linking up with Joyce
@
&
photographed by Janis Nicola.
These pictures are a few days after they left and with my sad picture taking.
It does not do justice to the fab job these ladies did!
There was a sisal rug....The shutters looked better....
The mirror on the right side wall is a wonderful way to deepen the garden & reflect light.
We use mirrors everywhere!
The reason I am posting is that the magazine is no longer.
But I am hopeful someone will adopt the story and publish it. So I can only show bits.
I reupholstered the furniture...very badly...sorry girls !
I need to redo it !
These are old living room "SWAG" lamps form the 70's (?)
They are a great amber colour.
The reason this picture is here is because these lamps are going to go to a farm house porch.
Powered up and hung one after the other over a long harvest table.
I will show you what that looks like when they go to their new home!
These lamps have been admired by many and could have been sold many a time,
but I like the funky feel they add to the patio
What do you think of these lamps hanging here?
Any ideas for replacement?
Let me know!
