Let’s Move the Party OUTSIDE!

The Thome Home residents are a glutton for throwing bashes.  From Monday to Thursday we chat about our weekend plans, and it never fails that somehow we find a few hours that we can get people over to our place for drinks and good eats.  There is something  about gathering up friends and family that just fills me up and brings me such joy! Making Mondays easier because I’ll just start to plan another get together all over again.

It has been a bit harder the past few months here in Hudson, though.  The end of April is nearing and the row of winter jackets hung on our coat rack is the first sign of the lack of spring creeping into our hood.  The days that hit 40* everyone on the street are outside, and it is so funny to see how we have learned to celebrate every notch of upward moving degrees.  Pathetic? Maybe.  Appreciative? Definitely!

I could not bare to let another 30* week in April hold me back from getting our front porch rockers clean, and adding our throw pillows to give our porch a sunnier disposition.  Heck, if we are going to head into May freezing our buns off I might as well decorate for summer and fake it until we make it there!

These outdoor wood accent tables caught my eye from Wayfair!

They were SO simple to put together, and the combination of black against the natural wood grain just makes these tables pop all the way from the street as you drive by!

With the weather fluctuating so dramatically, I decided fake plants were the way to go until we are guarantee the life span of our potted plants will go the long run.  It surprised me that this little faux green could really fake someone out as they stroll by!

So let’s all face these winter blues and start adding those gorgeous pops of color to our house again.  Before we know it, we will all be able to plop into those rocking chairs and enjoy a glass of wine with our friends and family!
