Stop & Smell The Roses….Deck Sneak Peek

Hey Ya’ll!!
Hope you are having a fantastic Wednesday!!
It’s time for another edition of…..


Stop and Smell the Roses


This week I’m vlogging about some great finds that I found this morning for our back deck while the boys & I were out for a quick shopping trip!!

(p.s. I must really love you guys b/c I am sporting very minimal make-up & 2nd day hair)
(p.s.s. don’t mind the camera shaking….too much coffee, not enough food!)

 


 

Here is a sneak peek at what’s brewing on our back deck….

 

Love, Love, LOVE my new pillows!!

 

Aren’t they too cute?! 

 

I striped & other patterned pillow were on clearance for just under $10.00 a piece! The one with the birds on it wasn’t marked down, but I couldn’t pass it up!! It was just too cute & still only $12.00! I was so happy to find pillows that were reasonably priced & that brought together all of the colors that we have going on between the furniture, the rug, & the new deck color!! Yay!



The rug is from Walmart and is from their Better Homes & Gardens line. It was $59.00. The chairs are also a new addition to the patio…..my hubby got those for me for Mother’s Day. They were purchased at Garden Ridge and I believe they were $14.99 a piece. All in all, things are finally coming together out back!! 



Can’t wait to show you more!!



Have you lucked in to any great finds lately?!
