Happy Friday!!  What better way to start off the day then to think about some fabulous finds!  A year and a half ago, my husband and I lost our patio set due to “strong straight line winds,” or what I call a “tornado!”  Our table was picked up off our deck and thrown into our neighbors back yard!  The winds were so strong that our neighbors’ Rainbow play system got picked up and thrown too.  So after a year reflecting on what we really wanted for our deck, we stumbled across these, at where else? Target!  I was shopping big name furniture stores, but when I saw this set, I knew it would look fantastic.  So here’s a before (on a very overcast day):

And after:

The pillows came from Target as well as the furniture.  It’s known in our neighborhood to not buy expensive pillows since our weather is never predictable.  Pillows are the first things that are gone, baby gone!  The lantern was picked out by my son from Ikea.

Now onto more decor!  These are some fabulous finds for serving our guests when they come over.  I’m going to pick one of these…which one will it be?  Can’t you picture a couple glasses of cold lemonade and some triangular cut slices of watermelon on these?

If you’ve found a serving tray that I’ve got to check out, let me know!
