OUTDOOR BAR

Hola friends!! I trust everyone is making the most of their summer?  Rich and I can't seem to get enough of our backyard lately and I'm loving every minute of it.  Wether we're working in the yard or sitting at the bar enjoying a cocktail - all is good.  Since buying our home 3 1/2 years ago we've probably spent most of our time and energy on the backyard - more specifically the outdoor bar.   Since it's practically summer year round in San Diego it seemed like a wise decision.   We wanted our bar to have a very eclectic vibe and reflect on some of our fave tropical vacays: Tahiti, Hawaii, South Africa, Mexico....but it seems we always gravitate more toward Mexico - again I think it's a San Diego thing and it's so accessible to us.

Our latest project was finally finding our decorative mexican tile at Direct From Mexico and placing it as trim around the edge of the bar.   I promise to show photos once the grout is dry and all is tidied up.  

In the meantime - some essential accessories for creating your own little south of the border tropical paradise.   
Adios!

SUMMER IS FOR CAMPING

Nothing says summer like a good old camping trip.  Rich and I are headed out to Sequoia National Park for some quiet time with just us and Zulu, a few cold beers, the giant trees, a few bears, a tent, air mattress, flashlights, lanterns, matches, bio-degradable soap... But really - all you need is the perfect camping outfit and a cozy blanket to snuggle up under the stars.  Am I right?
