Searching for Sunshine...

As I looked at the long list of blogs I visit everyday, I was particularly drawn to any photograph that evoked days spent outdoors.  I know its just around the corner but if you look outside the window today, it seems like its too far to see.  I found these photographs on dressdesigndecor and frolic . I hope you enjoy them and that we all enjoy a little sunshine very soon.

Idea for a Friends Rooftop Patio in San Francisco

I'm posting this for a friend in San Francisco (you know who you are) who has a bit of a challenge with creating a rooftop garden.  There is no water source up on the top of her home and there are challenging circular stairs to get there.  Here is a solution - imitation boxwood hedges.  I think they look fabulous - especially when you have the texture of the table and chairs - along with the great striped fabric.
