Cabin Fever!

Tonight I am aching for springtime. I want to wash my deck furniture, till my garden and just be outside without any ice, snow or negative temperatures. I have been thinking about the kind of ambiance I want and I think I am going to go for flea market/junk style chic.You know, repurposed, paint chipping and rusty kind of stuff. I have lots of ideas. But, what I can't decide on is the outdoor lighting for my deck. You now, farmhouse chic or rusted iron? Lots of table lights? Or some pole style lamps? Or my favourite string lighting. Seriously, anything more bed and breakfast-y than a string or two of globe lights? How would you light your conversation area?

I don't think anyone could blame me for becoming twitterpated when I see photos like this:

A table for two please.~ Urban Chic
Or This:

Or this positively dreamy scene:

I have some great pieces and some even better ideas but I need the weather to co-operate! 
Seriously...is it spring yet?

I love those teapot flower pots! We still have freezing nights and mid-forty-ish temps in the afternoon here in NW Washington. I'm so tired of cold, rainy and dreary!

Yeah, I'm anxious for spring. I just bought the trays today for beginning our vegetable plants...soon...but not soon enough.

Melissa..these are such fun ideas! Spring was almost here at our house, bees, buds, blossoms,..and then all of a sudden in comes another cold front. We had the a/c on yesterday and turned the heater on today. Ahhh..you gotta love Texas weather!

I have a cute project to share but couldn't remember what you project day is. I just sewed a birdseed catcher for our birdcage. :o)

Have a lovely day..Love your photos!
