Life is not gray. Add some color!

I love bright bold colors and like to add color whenever possible. Not only as accent pieces but as the primary focus, as well. I think too many people are afraid to add color because they are not sure which to add to their outdoor living space. With that in mind and if you are a little hesitant to change the color of your primary outdoor furniture, how about adding some color with accent pieces? A table, some pillows or even a small grouping of chairs can make any area "pop" and become even more inviting.





Add a Kartell T-Table as an accent piece to your furniture. Available in three sizes, the T-table comes in amber, light blue, crystal, yellow and red. Made from PMMA (A thermoplastic, also known as thermo-softening plastic ) You have a choice of a smooth or transparent style.











Still not convinced that adding a splash of color is going to give your outdoor living space something special and extra? Lets take a look at some really great pillows that will have you calling this quaint shop to order them ASAP!


Love-Love-Love these pillows!

Find them at the Wilshire Garden Market founded and owned by the mother daughter team of Carol McPheeters and Christy White, This fabulous little oasis is in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. If your lucky enough to visit in person I am sure you will be greeted with the utmost charm and grace. If it's just too far away then try their online shop.







The pillows all have a polyester insert and soft canvas cover that can be removed for washing. The collections I am featuring are just a small sampling of what they offer at the Wilshire Garden Market. They also carry pillows to reflect the changing seasons and all pillows are bright and fade resistant. The store also retails fabulous table linens and outdoor surprises of all kinds.













I get excited when I find something new, innovative and a designer that has such promise. The colors are exquisite, the designs are playful and filled with imagination. Jessica Carnevale of Carnevale Studio has sent my mind back to a time when I remember playing with my spirograph - Inserting the pen into the various shapes and then frantically going around and around inside the circle to create my own private masterpiece. I can see these chairs around a mosaic bistro table or even a large scale dinning table in a simple black or white.










The Stretch Collection

Each chair is unique in seat and back materials. The pink chair is made from powder coated steel frame and latex coating. The green chair is made with powder coated steel, latex coating and bungee cords and the white chair is made with powered coated steel frame and silk rope and hog clips. Hog clips are wire based fasteners that have been used in the auto and furniture manufacturing industries for years.



I hope looking at some colorful choices has given you the inspiration to add some color to your primary furniture. With the addition of some colorful pieces, you can take your outdoor space to the next level of WOW!
