Looking for Cheap seat cushion covers that look expensive.

I am sitting right now on my patio (yes I have one and I'm loving it) but the seat cushions are my least favorite color in the world mud mixed with black check and faded floral peach, black  and green pillows - EWWWW! As you know now this is a rental and at best I can only live here for two years (the owners want it back) so How can I cover these things with out spending a lot of money? Here is what I found so far but if you have a great resource I am begging PLEASE SHARE!

Love the palm green from Hayneedle for $54 but wish it was a little less. PS - I can't go white because there are kids running around constantly and I don't want to live in fear

Flowers that scream I'm Rich

How much fun would this be?

The fluffier is better!

There is nothing more divine than driving through the streets of East Hampton to find house after house with perfectly bushy  Hydranga plants - it screams Rich! As a new gardener (and a clueless one at that) I had no idea that you have to replant your flowers every year. So I am going for the gold unless you can suggest otherwise. Big and fluffy suggestions please. XO Suze

Orange you Happy




 I am 1 person away from three hundred followers - That is amazing to me since I am doing this just for  passion and because I love it!  I soooooo appreciate all of you who follow this blog and even more so the people who actually comment and inspire me. Just wanted to extend an enormous  thank you.

Yesterday I discovered that my lime tree was actually an orange tree. If you can try to grow an orange tree - the pleasure is immeasurable! If I could send all my followers a present this is what it would be! What would you send ?

Blue and green forever

Love this paint combo LOVE LOVE LOVE! Thank you House Beautiful and Steven Gambrel!!


The ceiling light and paint - Words can not express

Choose a durable solid fabric for the body, spice it up with elegant yet tailored details, such as contrast piping and diamond button tufting, like in Nicky Hilton’s pad, and voila: a perfectly glam dining set!
