Goodwill Finds For Outside Decorating

I've been checking out all the outdoor spaces and thought I'd share our

covered deck with you today...

the weekends seem to fly by, don't they?

One of my favorite spots to sit and read my Nook is on our covered deck....

this year I pulled out my Waverly Antique Rose sheets to cover the cushions...

no matter how I try to change colors, I always come back to red and cream....

You'll find several items from Goodwill in this space...

the shelf and the little birdhouse are from Goodwill...

Both of these flower pots are from Goodwill...

I love the pink and cream flower pot...such a pretty combination...

I used the pillow case to cover this cushion and the little red pillow I grabbed from my daughter

when she brought it to sell at our rummage...

I just love this little Raggedy Ann pillowcase that I found at Goodwill a few years ago....

This year I decided to use the coffee table as a table between the two chairs which also

helps to not make the space so tight..

I added my terrarium from Goodwill and added some of my ebay finds

I don't want to have them exposed to the rain and wind...

On the other side of the love seat, the side table holds some of my birdhouses..

and I can say that everything here is from Goodwill

that is, except for the plants...

Right now I'm trying to stay away from Goodwill because we just cleared out

so much stuff with our rummage last month...

but it won't be long and I'll be back out there thrift shopping...

Wishing you a wonderful week!

Don't forget to check out my giveaway
