This weekend's theme:

~ patio decor ~

I LOVE funky little patio tables.

And I'm having just the most fun with these right now.

Funky Patio Table #1
A willow sidetable plus an old table top from elsewhere = 


A fab little table that I use for many MANY photo shoots.
The weathered old patina cannot be duplicated!
It shows up fabulous in photos! And is very cute on the patio too. :) 

Funky Patio Table #2

Presenting the collapsible patio coffee table you can make in a red hot second!

We're loving it! It's size is taylor made for this tight spot and it also adjusts to a full height eating table. How you ask?

Check out the full patio reveal  HERE.

Funky Patio Table #3


This little weathered topped beauty now serving as my laundry stand was found beside a dumpster at a local thrift store. I saw the top, screeched to a halt and threw it in my truck with the sales people watching no doubt  thinkin', "Some people..."

And the newest funky patio table reveal on the net right now is at The Lettered Cottage... did you see it?!?

Funky Patio Table #4



A chicken coop outfitted with wheels and decked out in vintage yardsticks.

The REVEAL post is a gorgeous must visit, complete with a video reveal of Kevin's mom's reaction to her new space.

It is so fun to think outside of the box and play with alternatives!

Got a pretty patio to link up? Please do so in this weekend's 3rd themed linkup!

What do you love most about your own patio/porch?

  19. Donna the best thing I like no love about my back porch is my 1940's Coke machine that
    really works. The grandchildren love to come
    and go out to the back porch for a coke. I
    keep other than Coke, Sprite, Dr.Pepper,
    and Coke Zero. Thanks for hosting so I can
    "blog hop" this weekend. Hope you and your
    son have a good weekend. Oh and I love your
    tables on your porch. I am a carpenter too,
    my daddy taught me.
