I was over at Target last week and they have all of their spring/summer outdoor collections out on display. Aaaaaahh…thoughts of spring! They also had a nice their Patio Look Book 2013 available, so I quickly snapped one up! I know I am suppose to be focused on a certain third floor, but sometimes you need a quick little diversion! So I thought I would show you a few of the items that caught my eye. I don’t actually NEED much for the outside but a little virtual shopping is still in order. Above I am totally digging the Moroccan style metal lantern, round blue and white ottoman/pouf and the blue pot (which is actually durable resin).
Their outdoor rugs are also looking really nice this year, although the prices are a little higher then I am use to.
This wicker set is pretty cute. I actually reminds of something CB2 would sell. I am also really in love with the pillow.
More of these faux-ceramic resin pots. I hate having to bring pots in over the winter to avoid problems with frost and these at least in the pictures look like a great option. Plus the resin ones tend to be lighter! I am also digging the hakonechloa grass in the pot. This could even possibly be left in the pot over winter (in part sun to shade).
I am also liking this colorful wicker ottoman. I don’t have a place for this but I like the option of using it for a seat, a table or even turning it over and using it to store stuff. At $39.99 it is a little more than I would want to spend, but I will have to check it out in the store next time.
I think the one item I may actually consider picking up are these really cute outdoor dahlia pillows. At $15 a piece, I think that they may add some drama to the backyard.
Time to get back to thinking about a certain upstairs space!
I love thinking about spring! I got a bulb catalog a few days ago and I want ALL of them. Speaking of spring (and summer…), we recently had three enormous trees right in front of our house taken down by the borough, so we’re in need of (economical) shading options for our southern-facing front porch. Any ideas???
Hi Katie,
I haven’t allowed myself to open any of the catalogs, since it will inevitably involve me spending way too long looking at them, followed up by me spending too much money.:) I will have to plan a little visit over your way to take a look. Did they plant new trees?
We “kind of ” planted new trees. I got some Thuja Giants and a few Knockout Roses, but because of work/school scheduling I had to just throw them in the ground before winter hit. They’re all still small enough to move around, and I plan on replanting them this autumn in more permanent locations. I think a visit is DEFINITELY in order! I need a second opinion. With house stuff I generally know what I want to do — but I step foot in the yard and I’m clueless!
Oh, and the Borough did NOT plant new trees. At least not yet. It’s a long story — we’ll talk!
