Weekend Highlights

Is it me or do the weekends seem to get shorter and shorter as time goes by?
I find myself gripping on to Sunday’s, hoping that they will never end, but fail.

Also irritating?
The fact that the weather has decided to be unbearably beautiful on weekdays and overcast & yucky on weekends. What’s up, Mother Nature?

I got the opportunity to swing by IKEA Friday afternoon to check out their patio furniture & was bummed to see a lot of the items I posted about last week either would not work or were out of stock (already!). Thankfully, I was able to mix & match some fun pieces I found and am super happy with the way it all panned out. Our patio is still not complete, but it is well on its way! For those of you interested in this look, it is made up of a Bollo folding table, 4 Marius stools in orange, 2 Majallby scented candles, Solig fly swatter and Solig solar operated lighting in white. Also, something that I didn’t pick up but thought was amazing was the Platta decking system, which has the power to turn any patio from blah to chic in two quick snaps! Unfortunately, I don’t know how smart that would be for us Floridians considering we would have to be removing & replacing the pieces with every hurricane threat. I wonder if there is a way to anchor them down?

IKEA Summer

Although it is only March, IKEA has already released its summer items and that means everyone better put on their running shoes!

Last year, I was super excited about their summer line, but by the time I got to the store they were completely sold out. They then managed to remain unavailable for the entirety of the season. IKEA doesn’t make it easy either by basically not offering anything through their online store. So this year I have my game face on and am ready to put up a fight!

What am I looking to pick up while I’m there?

Well, although we have a very small patio, it is a patio and needs some major TLC. We have a lot of parties at our pad and people love to hang out back there. Problem? There really is nowhere to hang out! Plus, we just got a grill and have been having BBQ’s regularly – it would be really nice to for our friends to be able to pick up their burger and be able to sit down & enjoy it outdoors. So my mission is to furnish our small, but cute patio!

Here are some of my favorite items:

ÄPPLARÖ Table
ÄPPLARÖ Table

$29.99
I think two of these sitting next to each other would make for a great outdoor table after treated. I just have to see it person to see if it is tall enough because the website does state that it could be used as an end table or stool. Hmmm.
