New Project

CCC

 
I have decided to redo the lanai with new flooring and furniture and spent yesterday in planning mode. I am looking for gorgeous blue and white tile for the floor. There are too many choices out there. I found this Emily Henderson patio example that I love. I have a wonderful tile guy, so I just need to find it. I had been thinking about a rug for the lanai, but I decided I'd rather tile.

I did buzz into HomeGoods and found this very fun brass giraffe table - $99 and I had $60 in rewards so $39. Wow!!!!!!


HG Brass Giraffe Table

I saw this one on 1st dibs for $1070 with shipping. I'll take the $39 one. I prefer mine actually with the head coming through the top.

  1. Your home is looking so glam, I love the perspective of this photo. Can't wait to see what you do with the lanai. Have you thought about putting vases up on the cut outs around the kitchen?

    1. Thank you. Yes, I have thought about experimenting with blue and white Chinese porcelain there. I have spots like that all over the house. I'll try it.

  3. When your Home Goods sees you drive up they must run to your car with a red carpet to roll out to the door!

  5. It's all just lovely! Can you point me to the date of the post about your half bath? Somehow I missed it and have been dying to see that orange wallpaper.

  6. So glad you are tiling your lanai. You'll enjoy it so much more and the tile you choose will be a huge decorating factor in the overall look.

    I love E Henderson's patio tile especially the solid blue border she used around the perimeter. The source she listed www.granadatile.com
    is particularly fun to play on because you can customize the colors right on the screen and get a general sense of what it would look like--my favorite kind of sites. No substitute for getting samples but still...

    Your giraffe side table is so much more handsome because it's all brass, more creatively designed and less dainty/fragile looking. An amazing deal too, as only you are able to can snag.

    Decorating a lanai tops my list of most enjoyable projects to undertake which is why I am always doing an imaginary one. Hopefully by the time I have one (or a loggia or a terrace) I can cut right to the chase.

  8. Hi Beth. Your casa chinoiserie is wonderful. This sounds like a terrific project. I remember seeing these pictures of Emily Henderson's patio area somewhere, and thinking that it just looked smashing. I believe the tiles are encaustic cement, and are available at Home Depot. If not at HD, then not difficult to find. There is SO much beautiful tile work out there, it will make your head spin! How fun. I can't wait to see what you do.
