A new Hammock on our Patio

Guess What? 
I won a giveaway! I was so excited, My Sweet Savannah was hosting a giveaway for $100 to spend at Stylish Rustic and I won!

I could pick out almost anything I wanted from their online store, and I chose a new hammock for our patio and this cool green camp lantern.



We already had the hammock base but we were in need of a new hammock because our old one got a rip in it.  I was thrilled to find that Stylish Rustic carried hammocks. This two person cotton one was just what I had been wanting.  I set it up on our patio because it gets a lot of shade here, making it the perfect spot for an afternoon nap.


 To make this area even more cozy, I added a vintage Coleman sleeping bag and lots of pillows to the hammock.  I then added an outdoor rug and a side table so I could have a place to set down my drink.
I really like the mixture of colors, patterns and textures that's going on here.


I have been bringing outdoors a lot of my house plants, they all seem to like it better outside.


I really like my new lantern too. It runs off of batteries and it has a dimmer switch so I can adjust the amount of light that I want. It's a great little night light for when we want to come out here in the evenings.


I think that our deck is really coming along nicely. As I just shared in my last post, I painted our hot tub and now I am currently in the process of staining the railing and fence and then I have one other project that I'll be sharing sometime soon.


We never really used this patio much before, but now with the new hammock it feels like a cozy retreat.




It's now my favorite spot to be on a summer afternoon, laying in the shade with a cold drink in hand.
Awe, This is the Life!


Thanks for stopping by,
And Thank You Stylish Rustic for my new outdoor decor.


Have a Great Day!

Emily

And just like that, it's another season! Which means it's time for another Seasonal Simplicity Home Tour!! A big thank you to Krista, from The Happy Housie , and April, from House by Hoff , for hosting these fun tours every season.  And as always, you can find the full lineup of fabulous bloggers at the end of this post. You may have already caught Part 1 of my Fall tour, where I shared our entryway and living room decorated for fall. Today, I want to share the other side of the room, which is our dining room. Welcome! As I mentioned in part 1, I don't actually own a whole lot of fall decorations, and so I had to search around our home for items that felt like fall to me. I know that my dining room doesn't necessarily scream "Fall", but as you look around the room you will find lots of subtle hints of it. One of my favorite spots to decorate for the changing seasons is this wall here that divides the living room from the dining room.  The antique wood shelf ...
