I've never really decorated my deck/gazebo with a "plan" in mind but this year I do have one. Here is my color palette inspired by the center fabric and . . . .
my red chandelier I made last year. Red is one of my favorite colors and it is easy to combine with so many other colors. My plan is to use these fabrics to make a pennant banner, table runner and other accessories.
I've seen a lot of cute ideas using children's boots for planters so when I saw these at the thrift for 2.00 -- I grabbed them. I got the ceramic plant holder for free at a garage sale and sprayed it orange.
The hardest part of this project was putting drainage holes in the boots! Why is it that when kids are WEARING them . . . they are full of holes in no time but when you WANT to put holes in them -- it's almost impossible! I added a few basil plants to carry on the 'green, orange, red' theme and one of my wine cork plant markers.
We're FINALLY enjoying warm, summer-like weather . . . I hope your summer is off to a great start! Have a boot-iful day. Sorry, couldn't resist.
Sweet, really love your boot planters, great idea. Love red also, your chandelier is wonderful! Visiting from Knick of Time.
