I’m dreaming of the day (30+ years from now) when I will have tall, leafy, shady trees like this in my backyard. This one belongs to designer Andrew Pike and was featured in the March 2009 Canadian House and Home.
I love the horizontal slats of the wood fence, the graphic cushions on the built-in benches and the gorgeous lantern. Notice the large sink and faucet in the background – so convenient.
(The post title is a reference to an iconic Canadian song from the 80’s by Kim Mitchell.)
Believe it or not, I found the greatest lanterns for my patio and they were so inexpensive, but they really do give Summer dinners such ambiance.
ReplyDeleteI put candles in them.

I could stay out here all summer. It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Easter.
ReplyDeleteThe weather is so fine both in the South and in the North.
Thanks for your kind comments regarding my dining room.,
The old vamp is calming down ha ha.

Hi Vanessa :-)
ReplyDeleteI remember that Kim Mitchell song! Does that mean I'm an old lady?! Ha! I'm a big fan of horizontal slats in fences... we're putting a fence up on the side of our front yard (to hide a horrible hedge that belongs to our neighbour) and I've told Brian that it HAS to have horizontal slats. Such a clean look! And I laughed at your comment about your young back-yard trees... we planted a Japanese maple in our front yard last fall and I can't wait for it to be big and even more beautiful!!
I hope you drop by DesignTies soon... we're having a giveaway that honours and supports a very important cause ~ raising funds for cancer research. We'd love for you to help us spread the word about the campaign and our giveaway!!
All the best,
Victoria
Oooh, love that patio lantern!! Well, the whole patio, actually!! I would be out there enjoying it every night all summer long if it was mine :-)
