On the hunt

With patio furniture prices finally going down I'm on the hunt for a cute bistro set for the front. This is where Aiden plays the most so I would love an actual seat in the shade instead of sitting on the steps. We have the perfect little nook for something like this that is fully covered by the roof. Trying to make the outside look as great as the inside....trying! lol

Like everything I don't want to spend a lot like under $200 but the key thing is comfort. I sat in these chairs at Lowes...SO comfy! Not a bad price either, but the sales guy said to wait a couple weeks and they will go on sale (Half of their stuff was already marked down). The woven material is brown and very soft. I can just picture it now with a cute exterior pillow.

The table that matches I adore too! Has tile work on top that is neutral (brown and tan). The picture online doesn't do it justice. I like how it's all neutral so I can switch up accessories to change the look.

I think this picture proves that I might actually have a green thumb! haha I haven't killed my hydrangeas! With this recording breaking heat not helping one bit but they are hanging in there. I even have new growth!! See those bright green leaves and even some new buds! I couldn't be more proud!

See what I've been saying about my "burnt" look leaves...well the local nursery said that's A-OKAY! Doesn't mean it's dehydrated just that since it's so blasted hot the water has remained in the center of the leaf instead of expanded to the tips for survival. Whew! I also asked about the weird color change (you can see my new blooms are coming in blue)...it's also due to the heat. Making the blooms age faster to the green-red-brown color is called "old blooms". She suggested for me to add acid to the soil next spring since it's probably been affected by the weather too. Overall she said my plant looks and is acting perfect! YAH!!!

Next I'm on the hunt for a cute bench/seat to put by my front door. (Don't have a recent picture on my PC so this old one will have to do) If I can't find anything like I envision maybe one of those Gardner Stools with layer of different size pots...Not sure.....
