The entrance to the bungalow is enchanting. Riding around the city on my bicycle and scooting up to my home is always comforting. I was inspired by the Brabourne Farm blog, which always has lush garden pictures and sweet garden sheds. While, I haven't planted any plants in the courtyard, nor need a garden shed I have the gardening tools ready in a union blue basket. (I hope to plant some hydrangea and rose bushes soon!)
I found the planter basket and peony colored flower holder at thrift stores in Santa Monica. Of course, I love that the flower holders say "Fleurs" on it! It makes me feel more like I live in a charming French village as I stroll my bike up to the door after journeying to the farmer's market.I bought the basket for $1.00 and the flower holder for $2.00. Sweet little things that make this bungalow so much more enjoyable.
The courtyard offers an additional cozy, little nook to read a book, have lunch, or a drink while enjoying the outdoors. The bistro table provides a bit of a yellow splash that is absent from other parts of my life.
I found the bamboo chair at a thrift store in West Hollywood for $8.00 It just sits well in this area as it looks like a natural element that formed to be a practical item. I like the contrast between the bistro table and this chair.
I also saved a beer bottle that was a souvenir from a special trip to Switzerland. I put a flower in it to give it more a design purpose. It's a concept I learned from college as my friends had a great yard that was was decorated with beer bottles from the night before. So this little element comforts me with memories.
