Wednesday Wish List {Outdoor Bar Cart}

June 11, 2014

TGIW!!
 
Yes, thank God it's Wednesday!!!
 
For me Wednesday is that day in the middle of the week were
 
really the only thing I have "planned" is my Wednesday Wish List post!!
 
It seems that every other day of the week is just filled with things to
 
get done, places to go and people to see....you know the deal!
 
Today on the wish list is something that I have been crushing on since
 
we created our little fire pit area in the side corner of our yard last summer.
 
 
 
 
If you missed my post on our "DIY" fire pit you can find I here.
 
This little area is super cozy and it's far enough in the corner to see every
 
inch of our yard. It's a great little area to read, relax and easy for me to sit
 
 and keep an eye on the kids....
 
Cute and cozy, yes, but pretty far from the patio
 
area where usually all the food and drinks are kept during parties and long
 
summer days outside. That being said, I've been looking for the perfect
 
bar cart to place in the corner right behind the fire pit area.
 
How great would it be to have drinks on hand, on ice, all day??
 
Here are a few items I have found to solve my little dilemma....
 


 
All three of these can be found on the Pottery Barn website.
 
I LOVE that bar cart, though I think it is a bit large for the small
 
amount of space I have to work with, but it would be a perfect
 
addition to the patio! I think my best bet is the outdoor party table bucket!
 
It's the perfect size and can be used as a table as well! Not to mention it's
 
on sale right now!!! Time to go talk the hubby about crossing one of
 
these choices off my wish list!! I'll let you know how I do!!
 
Have a great rest of the week!!
 
 

Summer Lovin' {DIY Fire Pit}

June 23, 2013

Happy Summer!!!
So this isn't exactly a "DIY" post per say, but I had all intentions of it being so, but there are some things that I just can't do myself!!
It all started with a picture I saw on Pinterest schocker of a large stone fire pit with six cozy Adirondack chairs all around it.....You can find it on my outdoor inspiration board on Pinterest here. I really wanted to do this and I was trying to figure out an economical way to do it so I googled "DIY fire pit" and it took me straight to The Home Depot and to this link. I  read all reviews and I was sold. I immediately called my hubby and told him of my new "project" I found on Pinterest!! He was hesitant at first because he thought it was going to cost a small fortune... To our surprise it wasn't too pricey and looks way more expensive that it is! The fire pit itself was purchased online at Home Depot and very easy to assemble. We had it shipped to the store, but if you don't have a truck it mite be worth the extra money to have it shipped to your home as the package is extremely heavy!! We had our landscaper dig out a small corner of our back yard that really didn't get much use and now it's our new hang out area......
What do you think??







Hope your enjoying your first days of summer!!
Have a great week!!
