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.
Rene, what an absolutely gorgeous space! I love your new chairs and umbrella and your pergola with the drapes is beautiful!
Gorgeous!!!!!!
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?
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.
It looks so cozy and fresh and place everyone would want to be
Your porch and these photos are lovely! The striped umbrella and navy cushions feel fun and preppy.
Rene your outdoor space is so beautiful, lush and green. I have always loved it and now with those gorgeous chairs and umbrella it is truly a paradise!! Enjoy!
What a gem! Rene, you have quite the green thumb. I love the chairs, cushions and the stripe umbrella. I'm sure you love spending time out there. Enjoy!
Thank you so much for the sweet comments ladies! XO
