Remember my garden stool from my 5 Simple Tips To Make Spray Painting Easy?

It was a $22 find  that I spray painted and loved, but I had no place in the house for it.  As I said in the prior blog post, I have plans for the stool to go in my office, but I have not started my office makeover- it is months years away from happening.

With grilling season in full swing, the brilliant idea of actually using the garden stool outside came to me.  We do not have a garden, but we do have a patio with all our herbs in pots, so it is kind of like a garden.

So, while my husband grills, I sit outside and relax, and I enjoy NOT cooking.   In the summer, I love to drink a cucumber, lemon, and basil infused water.  (Let all ingredients chill in refrigerator for at least 2 hours.)  I also change out the basil for mint to mix it up sometimes.

I love this owl

Or maybe even some bubbly?  With added frozen raspberries… mmmm….

I can also sit on the garden stool, but it is is pottery and if you have not read my blog before, I am incredibly clutzy and sitting on a big breakable piece of pottery is not the best idea. (This is also why my husband does the grilling- fire and I do not mix)

Relaxing on the patio is a tough job, but I worked hard on the stool- time to give it some use!

See that little owl?  I love him- will share his makeovers soon! (Yes, he had a couple color changes)

I am very happy I found a place for the orphaned stool and hopefully when it is time to bring it inside, my office makeover will be complete (next winter?).
