Drop It Low

Outdoor weather has finally arrived here, hooray!  The temperatures are dropping and we can actually crack open our windows and doors without instant heat stroke!  We can drive our cars without wearing oven mitts!  We can sit on outdoor furniture without barbequing our bums!  Let’s celebrate with this sweet little patio makeover from Carolyn at Carolyn Smith Designs.

The highlight of the whole thing is her drop-cloth rug, made with nothing more than poly and paint.  And a drop cloth, obvs.  Why not give it a try yourself?  Or, if you are already staring winter in the face, log it away in your dreams for next year.  Check out her blog for the whole how-to.
