Call me Mrs. Potter

The sitting area on the patio in the back of the house has been coming along nicely.  I've finished my project of stripping and refinishing the antique draw leaf pub table.  It's so beautiful that I want it in the house, but there's no room.  Besides, it was in such poor condition when I bought it that I had no problems thinking it would live on the patio.  My concession to it's beauty will be a custom cover that will protect it from the rain (if we ever get out of this drought!).

So, with the table in place, I have to focus on the seating.  I purchased fabric for the chair covers but then got really really lazy and started a different project.  I think by my Argentina trip I should have chairs...hopefully!

As I've been filling in the front and side beds I've been buying small additions to the potted plants and hanging planters for the sitting area.  Here are some updated pictures.  I really love coming out in the mornings, standing by the table and looking at the plant growth.  It's been very relaxing!
