Wishlist Wednesday: Modern patio furniture

BK and I are putting our patio next on the project list.  We're hoping to spiff it up with different flooring and a new patio set.  So far, (and I guess because it's February), it's been slow going finding patio furniture we like and/or can afford.  We're looking for simple, modern lines and something comfortable so we can lounge to our hearts' content.  Here are a couple of inspiration pictures I've found through google images but we're open to actual recommendations as well!

ps: I'm getting a wee bit jealous of all the water/ocean/beach views pictured here...

Around the house: spice cabinet

Loving BK because this weekend he bought some spice rack steps and organized our spice/cooking cabinet!  Now we do not have to fear random jars of spices pelting us in the head whenever we open the cabinet or try to get something out from the back.  Looking at this, I am amazed at how many items we have (please tell me we're not the only ones!) and also how you can tell what is BK's (Lawry's seasoned salt, Weber grill spray) and mine (Bragg liquid aminos, 3 kinds of soy sauce)

Real Simple

Our house is on Real Simple!  Well, rather a drawing of our house at least :)  Back when we moved a year or so ago, I ordered these great moving announcements from Duetletterpress.  The lovely Julie hand drew our house from a picture I sent her, and then letterpressed the image onto the announcements.  They were recently featured on Real Simple's website here.  I wish that they had mentioned the hand drawn aspect because that to me is the most unique aspect of these announcements.  Nonetheless, what a great mention--congrats Duetletterpress and thank you so much for our wonderful cards!
