I'm participating in Tracey's Summer Garden Tour! I was so excited when I found an apartment that had a little patio. I knew I wanted to rent this place right away! When I moved in it was dirt and concrete so I got to make it my own. Now, four years later it looks completely different!
It looks very romantic at night with little white lights all along the fence.
Wow! What a darling patio. Everything is so quaint, especially at night with the lights. And I love your wicker love seat with the white cover and pillows. Too sweet. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh Cindy! What a romantic garden you have! I love everything in it! You put things together perfectly to create a lovely experience.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour of your secret garden.
Hugs, Sherry
It looks very romantic.

Wow, your patio garden is so beautiful! I can see all of the hard work you have put into it! Now go enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy! Jeepers Creepers!!! That is the sweetest patio setup I've ever seen! You've done a beautiful job. It looks right from the pages of a magazine!! I could seriously use your talents in my own backyard right now. Everything was beautiful but if I had to pick a favorite, I'd have to say that gorgeous hanging Cherub....Lovely Lovely Lovely!!! Have a wonderful day sweetie. ~ xoxo Joy
ReplyDeleteYour patio looks exquisite... like everything you do. Great job and a wonderful place to relax.

As usual Cindy, you have certainly made the most of a small space. It is absolutely beautiful. I could easily spend a day (or evening) out on your patio and enjoy the beauty, I might not want to leave! By the way, your template looks fine to me, I can see everything just the way it always looks.
ReplyDeleteHi Cindy....your patio is SO pretty....love the white lights at night! Sometimes a small space can be the most elegant place of all and I think you have achieved that. Your sitting area looks so cushy and inviting! Thanks for sharing your pictures with us.
ReplyDeleteWarm regards,
Debbie
WOW! This awesome and charmingly romantic garden of yours literally takes my breath away!!! YOU GO GIRL!!! Cindy, you are the BEST decorator and I applaud you for all of your hard work in achieving this lovely home of yours ... both inside and out! Suesue
ReplyDeleteYour garden is stunning! Such lusciousness (is that a word?) in a patio garden. You are such a talented decorator. Thank you for sharing.

I'm hoping our little patio looks as gorgeous as yours when I'm through with it. It seems that's the last place to get "decorated" in a new home!! I'm lusting, sweetpea, as I type for that look. Jaaaaaaaaaack, get the lights out - NOW!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSmoochies and smiles,
Connie
Your cottage garden is simply breathtaking, Cindy. It inspires me to fix up my patio more....I want lights out there, like your little lights along the fence....
ReplyDeleteI just know your landlord loves you to death for fixing up your apt. and patio so pretty.

It just amazes me that you have the energy to do all that you do. I love your patio. I would love to make something like that in my backyard. My door is on the side of my house, not the back. I would love to create a little walkway back to a patio similar to yours. It's beautiful and looks so relaxing.
ReplyDeleteYour little garden is gorgeous. What a wonderful place to sit and relax. It would be fun to stop by and sit out there for a good visit. Too bad we live so far apart! ~Adrienne~
ReplyDeleteYou're back up and running now. I love your patio. Of course everything you do is simply remarkable! It is so romantic! Cozy. Eye candy!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
what a peaceful place to be.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you decorated your wicker sofa. Very pretty. And I love the angel with the flower petals floating in it.
ReplyDeleteCandy :)
I don't think I would ever leave that area, Cindy... It is so cozy and inviting, I'd spend every possible minute out there. I think your landlord should be paying you rent! You have done so much to increase the value of the apartment you rent!!!...Donna
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is WOW!!! It's romantic and cozy and cottagey and should be in a magazine! You have a great eye for detail. Your landlord must love you since you take such pride in your home (his home too - ha!). Your patio area is so inviting. People must gravitate towards it when they visit. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteKelly
You've created an oasis in your backyard...lovely!
ReplyDeleteCindy,
ReplyDeleteI love all the flowers, plants and statutes you have around. So cute and everything is just perfect!
Do you have a covered patio? Do you hang plants from something over head?
Doesn't the candle melt outside? I was thinking of putting a few outside on my table but was worried it would melt.
Where did you find that darling cherub birdbath? I love the flowers in there. Makes it so pretty.
One more question, where did you find the wreath? Did you make it or buy it somewhere? It's so cute.
Hugs,
Joanne
Cindy, you are such an inspiration to me. I love your blog. You cottage garden is so lovely. Thank-you so much for sharing your gift of decorating with us. I know it must be so relaxing just to sit out and enjoy all your beautiful flowers.

Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYour little courtyard looks so pretty and inviting. I really love the pic at night. I get so overwelmed with the yard, I never know where to start! We have 5 acres but honestly I wish I had a cozy backyard behind a sweet little cottage. That's my dream. Anyway it looks BEAUTIFUL!
Absolutely gorgeous. I would spend hours out there. Great job.
ReplyDeleteAmazing.. Please tell me where u found that fabulous cherub on the wall.. You have a great balance and I pray you don't have "NOISE" to invade your utopia. I haven't seen your inside but I'm sure it's over the top, too. Great job
