I'm doing some changes. I wanted my entire patio color theme to revolve around this Blue and my thrifty dumpster dive chair.
I love it. I know it's sad looking. Someday I'll recover it with the same bright Blue. I also need to paint it.
This chair has some history.
The Cowboy did drag it home complaining the entire way. Put it on our patio. Still complaining how dirty and ugly it was. The next morning we found this in the chair . . .
It became Rascal's chair. The Cowboy didn't want to bring it when we moved but I had to remind him that Rascal needed it to sleep in on the patio! The chair came.
I love that shade of Blue but my color theme wasn't coming together because I needed something to put pots on or in.
In or actually out to the came the vintage red wagon. Also another 'freebie' The Cowboy found it in a trash pile. Originally it held the succulent garden that we bought with a Christmas gift card from The Home Depot. Most are dead now. So the wagon recently held some of the zinnia's, tomato seedlings and carrots. But I just wasn't happy with the red wagon. I love vintage and all but it just wasn't speaking to me.
Last week I added a few Blue pots from Dollar General to go with the terra cotta pots.
And then I found a few 'newish' ideas on Pinterest . . .

I probably won't do this since I have no place for stepping stones.
But I love this Blue version. Would be perfect for my theme.
But this I want to do!
So here's my idea. Take a few of the terra cotta pots I have and cover with beautiful Blue jewels/stones. I have a few from Dollar Tree. Tomorrow I'll see what I can find at Hobby Lobby.
This idea was also found in the same article. Love this. I doubt I would tackle it but who know's.
I've found a complete service of 12 set of dishes by the dumpster. Maybe I'll start looking for cool mugs!

A lot of good ideas. I am sure you will use some of them well.

I love your chair in blue and white! And yes, I love your place.
You can paint it in different shades of blue and hanging planters with blue flowers on it. Best Wishes ( and I like your other photos too). http://momentsfrozentime.blogspot.nl/
Love the pot and that last project. I also like tge succulents. The chair looks comfy....Christine
Well, I'm glad for rascal! You must stay busy with projects all the time. I like the ideas I see, but I'm not much of a crafter. I do enjoy seeing what others do, though. The blue stepping stones are beautiful. Wish I had a place for those.
I love all those idea's. The mosaic pot and stepping stones are great.
cute mosaic with the teacups. Following you.
Thanks for stopping by Hyacinths for a visit. Welcome as a new follower. I'm now following you too.
Love the idea of the board with the teacups as planters.

Anything blue is delightful to behold!
What a fun post. I am sorry I am late visiting this week. We have been on the road traveling to Kansas to visit family. I love the blue striped chair and so does your kitty. smile. It looks like you have some fun ideas for projects. I love them all.
Happy Blue Monday.

I love this idea! Covering some pots with the jewels would be fun and so pretty. I love the cups on the wall but that doesn't look easy!
So glad you joined the garden party. :)
I bet that teacup wall isn't as hard as it looks! I'm thinking a box laid down, cups seated in place, easy mix concrete poured in to half way up the cups (if you know what I mean), painted, embellished, done! A new follower here. I love this post and hope you'll share it at my Five Star Frou-Frou linkup on Friday at A Tray of Bliss. Love, Mimi xxx
I am in love with that teacup idea!
