Blue Outdoor Living... Pergola...

With warm weather comes outdoor living in shades of BLUE...



now time to plan the space... I'm think a pergola...
built while on a BLUE ladder...
ooooh wouldn't this be lovely...
maybe planting some BLUE flowers on it...
oooh and definitely drapery...
Now... I'm off to talk my hubby into construction... wish me luck... and don't forget to visit Blue Monday and Metamorphosis Monday posts... oooooh and visit my Etsy Shop... there might be some NEW items you missed... maybe you need a 2011 Calendars of Fifi Flowers Artwork ( you can even have one specially made with YOUR choice of Fifi paintings... email for details!!!)... and there are always NEW painting additions with FREE SHIPPING until July 31st in My Bargain Shop...

ENJOY your week... come back and visit.... I'm thinking it's time for a GIVEAWAY this week!!!!

Definitely need the drape on top of the pergola. This gal needs shade.
p.s. Thank you so much!! I got Lily's painting in the mail. I LOVE it!!
p.s.s. Two of my readers inquired about puppy portraits from you. I sent them your information.

a pergola would be perfect to escape this heat under. I love the idea of a comfy sitting area with lots of pillows like the ones you posted here. Bonne chance convincing the hubby on the construction.

Suburban Princess said...

I saw a pergola with grapevines all over it...it lookes awesome! And they are actual grapes! Make some wine at the end of summer :O)

Some pretty photos here. I love patios and water around them. Love those purple flowers. My Wisteria is putting out a second batch of flowers now. I didnt know they did that.

Dear Fifi, what lovely images and the last one is a dream (and unfortunately it will remain a dream for the moment).

Self Sagacity said...

Wonderful indeed. I have always wanted one, just never had the $ to get one or build one.

Fifi... I'm bugging DH for a pergola just like that! Perfect pics for me to share with him. Although I have shared a few dozen already.

Happy Blue Monday. ~Karen
