My little escape. It's where my kids send me for my "time outs". It's where the family knows they need to make a reservation in advance if mama is on the deck and they need me.
This weekend my little Oasis got a quick and inexpensive makeover. The makeover actually revolved around these $4.00 pillows. 
End of season sale pillows at the Home Depot and a $6.00 side table that I picked up at a garage sale.

What's cool about the table, is that the top is a removable tray so when I am in 'time out' I can move it around.

The chairs were freshened up as well with a few coats of Aqua Spray paint. They were looking a bit drab and beat. Certainly not something that I wanted to be sitting in during my moments of escape.

 When I do feel like having company( with a reservation of course), it makes a great spot for a date night with my husband. 
Or I can just sit here all day with my Restoration Hardware catalog and eat watermelon and pretend that I don't hear the kids screaming!

Can you believe the size of that thing? It may take me all day just to read it. Oh well.
