A Whole Lot of Color

I have been a busy bee lately doing random things, but the common thread seems to be color.

I spent way too much time changing things in the entry

only to change things right back to the way they were.

I might have gone a little overboard at the nursery.

An old high school friend is in town and is dropping by for lunch today

so I have been working in the garden.

Baskets filled with flowers brighten things up

and later this week they will get planted.

Last week I brought an old ottoman down from the attic and made a cover for it to match the slipcovers.

Steve and I can both sit on the sofa with our feet up when we're watching movies now.

The ottoman triggered a series of changes in the living room, but I'm only ready to share the ladder

which is all decked out with my bucket collection.

Actually every flat surface in the living room received a fresh look, but I only managed photos of the ladder.

I'll photograph the rest of the living room updates after I find a place to hang the harpoon Steve gave me for Mother's Day.

I've been taking a lot of photos and the tulips my son and his wife sent me were a perfect prop.

Someone else thinks she's a prop too.

Now I need to get busy and start looking for ideas on how to set the table

and what to serve for lunch - I do know that we'll be eating outside in the garden.

I titled my post "A Whole Lot of Color", but I think I could also have easily swapped the word "flowers" for color.
