Hopefully all you Canadians had a wonderful, warm, sunny, holiday weekend, and Americans are looking forward to next weekend. The warm weather brings us out into our outdoor spaces and we just finished our backyard "outdoor room"
our dining area with newly made buffet
(inspiration picture later in post)
our seating area with a hard to see 3 piece log coffee table
the lion wall plaques were previously a planter that my handy hubby grinded apart and sprayed to be hung as modern outdoor wall art
i LOVE buddhas and ferns!

BEFORE- no attached wires, bulb holders etc. original plan was a farmhouse style candleholder
AFTER- rewired, copper pipe holder coverings, happily sitting above our outdoor table on a dimmer cord.
Have I mentioned before I am dimmer crazy? Every single light and table light in my whole house is dimmered.
Well that's it for today. More pictures rather than writing however, I hope you enjoyed and got a little inspiration to get outside and breath some fresh air.
