Today's weather will be hard to beat - 68 and bright sun. So I took myself outside, and did a little blogging on the terrace. It's time to ready your outdoor space, no matter how big or small. This edit features bright colors and affordable furnishings that will make your patio pop!

Domenica Bar Cart

Isn't this the cutest? Love the Parisian Bistro look. It's more expensive than the others, but it is marked down by 68%, and still less expensive than most bar carts.  The top tray removes for serving. What a great buy.
