It’s that time again. That time to party. Linky party, that is. And this time around we’re sharing all things outdoors and outdoorsy. Me? I’m partying right here …
 |
| … thank you PicMonkey for making me look like a super cool photo editing genius …. |
… on my screen porch.
And I want to take a moment to thank the lucky stars that this is a virtual party. Because while my screen porch may be ready to entertain … the rest of the house? Well, let’s just say the dust bunnies have started to colonize. And I may need to apologize to my kitchen counters again. And the family room? There’s a very good reason I haven’t shared that space with you all yet …
… and I’m very lucky that my husband is a patient man when it comes to my diy. Because the master bedroom? Yeah, that project has sputtered and spurted and stalled …
And speaking of jump starts, be sure to visit my party co-hosts and check out their outdoor projects, which may jump start some ideas of your own …
… like Karah’s enviable island rooftop bedroom … and Kari’s sad little six blades of grass … and Andrea’s shabby chic hanging garden … and Kelly’s crazy cool creative dresser planter … (just click on the pics)
And don’t forget that this is a multi-blog party — which means when you link up here, you’ll be linked up on my fabulous co-host’s blogs too …
All I ask is that your links are outdoor related … patios, decks, gardens, yards, porches, plants, planters, grilling recipes … you get the idea, right?
Oh, and a button or line link back is always appreciated …
The party will stay open until midnight CST on Friday, June 2 so you still have time to take it outdoors …
… and be sure to check back next Tuesday (June 5) when we’ll feature some of your outstanding outdoorsy work.
Hi there! My name is Linda and I’m a Jersey-born-and-bred Midwestern transplant who lives in Chicago with my husband and two children. We've lived in our home since 1995 and over the years our style has changed and evolved. I wouldn't call my home a work-in-progress -- more like a rework-in-progress as I refresh and remodel things around here ... one room at a time.
Thanks for hosting ladies, I can’t wait to see all the summer inspiration!
Another fun party day for the MP gals!!
Thanks for hosting! I love what you did with your screened porch, Linda. All of your pillows lined on the bench look great.
Linda,
Sad little blades of grass. Ummm….negative. Those six blades are standing proud and tall. Happy to be at the party.
Happy to represent the other 4,994
So happy to be co-hosting with you.
Happy great outdoor day!

Linda…I love the tree canvas….Thanks for co-hosting the party!!…Love partying with you guys!….
Linda – thanks to you and your party gals for hosting a great party…it hasn’t really warmed up enough here to spend any time on my patio…but I’ll have lots of inspiration when I do! btw…played around with PicMonkey myself yesterday…so glad there’s a replacement for picnik…
Thanks for hosting a great party. Came here from A Dream Canvas. Love your porch. Going through the rest of the blog now.
I wish I could post–but I have to work, dammit.

Who needs bedrooms and kitchens when you’ve got a porch like that?!
Here’s to another fabulous party!

Linda, thank you for hosting! Little Bit
Linda,
Thanks for hosting. I was hoping to have a different outdoor project finished that I’ve been working on but alas didn’t get it finished in time for your party. Which means I had better get my self back to work.
Can’t wait to see what everyone’s outdoor projects are. Their always my favorite.
Have a great day!
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I hope you don’t mind if I link up my planter here! Also, I’m your newest follower
A great party, as always! Can’t wait to hop around and find some more outdoor ideas. It’ super foggy here, so right now it doesn’t * exactly* feel like summer!

So glad you found my blog, I am loving yours!! Always fun to find a fellow Chicago blogger! Your screen porch looks lovely, especially love the white fabric and the hanging lampshade fixture. Can’t wait to join the party!
Your porch looks wonderful – I could spend all day out there! Thanks to you and the other ladies for hosting another great linky party – I’m sure I’ll find lots of wonderful outdoor inspiration

Your porch looks fabulous! Thanks for hosting with the other ladies
Linda! How did I miss this link party!? Off I go to work on my gardening post, I have had a folder of pics sitting in my computer and this is the kick in the butt I need to get them up and on the blog.
Thank you for hosting!
Thanks for hosting another GREAT party!
Hi Karen, Thank you for stopping by my blog & for leaving a sweet comment. What a great blog you have! And I love the link party. I entered a project. Thanks so much for hosting.
Warmly, Michelle
Yay! I am NUMBER 100! Congrats!
Such a fun party! I am so glad you ladies decided to do this! It was just the kick in the pants this lazy bones needed, to get some things done outside!
Love your porch, and all of your amazing pillows!

That pillow with the pom pom trim is sooooo fun!
Hi Linda! What a lovely energy you have here on your blog! So many interesting links too. Thanks for your visit, and the nice comment!
Wow! what a lovely outdoor space you have! Love how everything looks so green and the colorful pillows on the bench. The blue tray with the lemonade is so summery and refreshing:)I’m loving all the links here and will be so much fun visiting them. Thank you and all the other hostesses for a wonderful party. I just added two of my links here. I appreciate you visiting me and for following me. I’m your happy follower as well.Hugs,Poppy
Your porch is beautiful! I love every little detail.
Thanks to you and all the hostesses for this party — I am trying to get through the links. You have a great porch, and I am looking forward to the day I have a better one. My latest estate sale finds are waiting in the garage to be cleaned and painted — so I will have to look at the rest later!
Love your porch, and I’m looking forward to going through all the party links to get some great ideas. Every single thing around my house outside could use some help (and my master bedroom too, but that’s another party).
The best part about summer? Being able to have another ‘room’ outside, out of sight of all the indoor projects that need to get done =)
Hi Linda – thanks so much for stopping by yesterday. I love your porch – it looks like a great place to relax! I’ve just linked up my screen porch. Thanks for hosting!

Your porch is so cute! Thanks for hosting!
Linda,
Thank you for hosting this party with your partners in grime (aka: dirt!) It’s a fantastic collection of spring’s best. Your porch is lovely! I liked looking at the before and after pictures. The turquoise really energizes the room.
