I normally don't do a whole lot for the summer but now I'm inspired and in the mood, so I will be pulling out more of the patriotic colors to incorporate in the house.

Love the bright blue and white stripe cushions on your new chairs. Looks like a great spot to relax and watch the world go by. The denim pocket is so cute. Love the plates too. I know your guest will enjoy visiting in such a patriotic setting.

The Texas sun is brutal on outdoor color...I've had cushions that have faded within a couple of months. Very frustrating! I found the jean utensil pocket idea on Home and Family last year and just fell in love with them. Inexpensive and versatile for summer! Have a great weekend!
