Yesterday I talked a little bit about my upcoming patio makeover that we’ve started working on. I hope to have it done by September.
Actually we really are working hard to have it ready for Summer fun.

A shot from just after we moved in…
I tend to find design ideas all over the place – window shopping, magazines, other people’s homes and, of course, I have been scouring the internet and Pinterest for a lot of inspiration too. Some of the inspiration I’ve found for our patio comes from the Novogratz Brasil Collection over at CB2. I am in love with all of the bright colors and the easy, relaxed outdoor styles.
You can see from my “Patio Inspiration” board on Pinterest that I have pinned several items from this collection. This Figueira Swing chair matches my patio color palette perfectly – so fun. It just looks like the perfect place to relax and read a book outside.

I couldn’t agree more – there is something about a hammock or a swinging chair that just beckons people to “sit here” and relax.
Oh, and this “Luli” table lamp? This is too fun. Such a “quirky monkey” indeed. I maybe need more monkeys in my life. They make me smile.
It’s always fun to look around and find inspiration and – even if a room or living space makeover is not immediately in the works {or the budget!}, it’s nice to dream and plan and stay inspired in the meanwhile.
And speaking of inspiration – I know that sometimes just getting away and experiencing new places and sights can be a huge creative boost {not to mention a heck of a lot of fun!!} for many people, myself included. So I have some exciting news to share – right now you can enter to win a trip of a lifetime for you and 3 friends! A one week stay at the vacation home of CB2 collaborators Robert and Cortney Novogratz in beautiful Trancoso, Brazil!
Now I don’t know about you, but I would love a getaway and this sounds fabulous!
Not to mention, 10 other lucky winners will receive a CB2 giftcard worth $100 along with a personally signed copy of the book “Home by Novogratz”.
This sweepstakes runs from May 2nd through June 3rd so head on over to win HERE. Good luck!!
I’ love to hear about any projects you are working on too. Where do you find inspiration for your home makeovers?
