A romantic setting by the pool.....

the bed is out of my two lounge chairs, just pushed together the duvet cover bleached white with the shams as well ...was the oatmeal color...i'm so happy i bleached them...just love it !!
in this pictue the little jar and glass holding the flowers are Simply Shabby Chic(the bathroom set)
this was a very cozy night by the pool...we live on 4 acres so lots of privacy..woods surround us,and the deer walk around in our backyard...

what a sight for sore eyes....I could lounge on that bed all day.
Okay, gotta ask, are all the flowers real? if they aren't they sure look like it. I also love the color combination you have used in the flowers.

First off. To have a pool, with the weather to go with it is awesome enogh. But, to have such cozy, romantic bedding and flowers is just unimaginable in my world.

It looks so magazine worthy....hope you did not let the wet kids on that bed!

So pretty, don't think I'd ever get up but could dream the days away.

Everything you touch is just lovely, Tausha. I'm thinking my yard is looking pretty crumby, but we're working on it (all weekend!). Thanks for the inspiration. I would love to have four acres, lovely, lovely for you. Do you have any pets w/all that land?

Have a fab week! Heading out to the back yard now.

Simply Me said...

To Jill, I put the duvet in for a rinse cycle to completely wet....the took out, fill up the washer with water and the biggest bleach container ,then put the wet duvet in for several hours...then put it through a wash cycle... just keep checking on it while its soaking, the longer the better, the material is linen and rayon ...i believe so it was easy to bleach.. you can always do again if not completely white ... When i did the shams first, the i left in all night...i forgot about them really ...oops but no harm was done, they were beautiful .. My was a king size. If you so not find in store, check online

STUNNINGLY INVITING!!! LOVE your style!!! Can you please tell me how you bleach your things to make them white? What part bleach to water do you use? I either end up failing to bleach properly or bleach so much so that it eats @ the fabric!!!

Thank you,

The "bucket of fresh flowers" is my favorite part of this display. The rustic wooden handle against the white enamelware is so pretty to me. Thank you for posting such lovely pictures.

This is so refreshing and such enjoyable eye candy. I absolutely love how you created the outdoor bed. It looks so comfy and relaxing. You have given me a wonderful idea for this summer!!

Mar said...

I bought the duvet/shams and was a bit nervous soaking them for most of the day. I used an entire large container of bleach, so I kept checking to make sure I didn't have a ruined mess. No need to fear...they came out perfectly white and gorgeous.
I did order online, as my Target was out of the queen size.
Thank you...love,love,love it!
