The Weekly Story ~ wk 71

Did you read my post on 'The Key Bunch' ... was a Women's Day special... The post is a little about me... and the responses were overwhelming... I've also read through all your emails... I'm touched!! I'm humbled... Thank you!! Thank you for coming to my little blog every other day... and making every minute I spend on this worthwhile... *smiles*... 

Now, Dubai is still enjoying the outdoor weather.... so last weekend.... the girlies and I had a 'pink picnic'.... 

And while, I'm talking about outdoors, I'd like to share a few expert tips from the ~ Home Centre

· Give a garden feel to your spacious balcony/veranda with a flourish of plants and flowers. If you are unable to take care of outdoor plants, opt for artificial foliage, some of which could pass off as authentic. Place them on either side of a seating arrangement or ends of the terrace for a streamlined look.

· For a more natural vibe, go for a variety of flowering and leafy plants with a range of different pots to give your outdoor space an organic look.

· Crates and wicker baskets make a great alternative for plant pots. The casual home-made style is the trend this season.

· Lanterns, hurricanes and candle holders in abundance light up your terrace décor – literally. Hang them asymmetrically at different heights to lend a creative touch.

· Opt for warmer light bulbs than bright, white lights.

· Fluff up your outdoor seats with a bunch of cushions to create a snug and welcoming mood. A throw can also be a perfect addition for a nippy winter evening.

· If you have tiles that look cold and hard, lay wooden flooring tiles for a warmer and softer look.

· Pebbles and stones can create a beachy outdoor feel.

I love pink... don't you?? Hope you enjoyed out little outing... Once we started... this place turned into a complete wreck.. I only show you the good pics... *smiles*...
