Adding Color to the Patio

Hi! My patio was in bad need of some sprucing up for Spring, so when I saw these cushions at Walmart, I grabbed them.

I've had this good ole swing for over 30 years, and I love it too much to get a new one. I could never find the right size cushions for it, so this year, I discovered that I could get two chair cushions and use them.  They are also reversible.

The swing needs painting badly. I got this idea to add greenery to the top, from a local flower shop.

I also got the umbrella to match. My red one was so faded, I couldn't stand it. Hope this one doesn't fade. Anybody know of how to keep it from fading?

I also added some more touches of color around.

So thanks for stopping by to see me today. This is the rear of the house. To the right is the sunroom I added when I moved here.

Here's what it used to look like before I added the patio.

Ah! Much Better!!!

I'm joining Susan for "Met Monday" Thanks, Susan.
