That summer feeling

Hubby started to clean under the outside area. It’s been needing it badly. But with constant rain and cold we just couldn’t get into the cleaning mood 



I didn’t get any before shots but OMG it was bad. Leaf litter everywhere and soooo much dust 
With the blinds up the breeze was lovely and help get ride if the dust as we cleaned 



And finally. I’ve made covers for the two chairs. Seriously I’ve had them about 20 years and I’m. It even joking. 
I got the free on free cycle and was always going to make covers but I never remembered to measure so get the right amount of material. If even remember to buy any material luckily a friend of Mine  gave me a big bag of material so I decided today was the day. 



I just layer the fabric in the floor and cut around the cushions 
I always save ribbon so I hand sewed them on to be able to tie the cushion in place 
And used my plastic snaps to finish off 
Not perfect but they’ll do nicely 
No more tripping over the crochet blankets I thre over them for a temporary fix lol 

Hubby is still going. I’m resting but we have accomplished heaps already today 

It will be nice to be able to use this space again

    1. I’ve pulled the blinds down now. It got cold really quick and then we even had some rain. If we stayed outside I would of lit the fire but we decided to come in

    1. Now it’s all nice and clean again. I’ll spend many hours out there. We even have celling fans to help move the air around if it’s muggy. And the fireplace is wonderful on a chilly autumn night

  5. What a fab indoor outdoor space. We are all more than a bit envious. Yeah the chair thing - F has a bedroom chair like that. It has a perfectly good but perfectly ugly faux leather cover which she has been intending to replace for about 40 years! Yours look nice.
