Where Are You Springtime?

Brr! 

If winter would loosen it's cold, rainy grip on spring I would love to get my outside living space together.

I'm excited because this season I've been inspired by the color 

ORANGE!

 I am digging the orange and navy combo, in particular, and it seems to be trending everywhere.

Here are some pictures from Pinterest that have inspired me...

Even Pottery Barn is in on the orange action...

Here's a glimpse of some of the pieces I'm putting together at Quarters One...

Lost Cay Cottage, Quarters One's alter ego, is also getting a touch of this happy color.

I hope to be living on the porch this time next week and as soon as I get out there I will share it all with you!
(Here are links to past porch blogs 2015 and 2014.)

Happy Easter!

Oh, Easter!
 I love this season, the renewal of life and the promise of hope it brings...
and who couldn't use a lot of that right now?!
I miss the days of Easter baskets and egg hunts...there are just 3 of us together at Quarters One this year but our day will be filled with lots of friends who have become part of our family.  
We are blessed.
I've been obsessing over spring tablescapes online and I thought I would share a few from Quarters One and some I love from Pinterest!

Can you tell I love the layered look... and nests?

I found these sweet little breakfast plates at Williams-Sonoma.. 

I had to throw this in, mercury Easter eggs from Pottery Barn...of course they belong on the chandelier!

Here are my favorites from Pinterest, I tried to link them back but I'm experiencing some technical difficulty.  All of the following photos, and their origin, can be found on Pinterest at Quarters One "Spring" board!

Happy Easter from Quarters One!!!
