This is our little oasis. You’ll find us here most evenings unwinding in our comfy chairs.
The chairs arrived a few weeks ago from Birch Lane and we could not be happier with them! I’m so glad I chose navy and love it against the green in the garden. The navy and white striped umbrella came from Joss & Main. I’ve always wanted a striped umbrella and am so happy with the graphic pattern it adds to our space. I debated whether or not to add throw pillows, but for now have decided against it. I would love to add a garden stool to go beside each chair. The table that is between the chairs is temporary until then. A pouf or ottoman would be a nice addition because we all like to prop our feet at the end of the day. Look for updates in a post when it happens.
I planted an urn with rosemary, one of my favorite herbs. The fragrance is lovely and I love having it close by.

Did you notice the espalier on the fence? You can read about that here.

So beautiful Rene!! I noticed your fence and I love how you softened it with the vines. I am currently looking into privacy fences – are you happy with yours? Or would you do something different?
René says
Thanks Fran! The fence has been there forever and we like it ok. If/when we have to replace it we might consider a good neighbor fence so that it looks nice from both sides.

This looks great! You have to have the ottoman and a place to put your glass…..

Looks awesome, first thing i noticed was the espalier in the back, but everything turned out beautiful!

Beautiful! I love everything about your outdoor space. You bet I noticed the espalier! Love it.
I have a question about your chairs. In the first two photos of the chairs, they are a dark brown, but in the third photo they look much lighter. Is the darker brown the true color? I really like the blue cushions — very nautical, and they look great with all the greenery.

Thank you! The first images are a better representation of color. The sun was reflecting off of the arm of the chair on the third image.
