Some upgrades to the lanai...

 Remember this photo?

Well, guess what..that carpet ended up getting wet from the rain and being a bit stinky and moldy. 

So! I have ordered a proper "outdoor" rug:

It is due to arrive this evening before 9pm so as soon as we have it set up I will post a pic here!

Oh and looking at that photo, we acually have some different furniture now also.  Our old landlady offered us this super comfortable and nice looking day bed which we gladly accepted.

There we go now!

Manai (A man cave in Key West, Florida)

I love our little outdoor space aka "the lanai".   

We recently got it wired up properly by an electrician so it means we have the option of watching tv outside. Patrick particularly likes it for watching sports and having an evening drink so I guess it is a bit of a man cave.  Hence the name "the manai".

We scored the white wicker chairs at a yard sale.  They are REALLY good quality.  Proper old wicker, and heavy and solid.   Whereas the brown yokes are just Home Depot plastic wicker...

...BUT! When the brown are sprayed up white, they sure look better don't they?
