The sun and the summer warmth are now here to stay for a few months in Normandy, and of course we get out our deck chairs.
I love these canvas chairs, scattered around the garden, in the shade of a tree, or beyond the terrace, single or in groups. Even if I am too busy to spend much time sitting down in them, their mere presence makes life feel slower and more relaxed.
I am not disciplined enough to put the chairs away each evening, and by the end of the season the fabric is ready for renewal.
Here comes the quandry ... which fabric to use. In the past I have done white, bold stripes, subtle stripes, flowers and even toile de jouy. But this year I cannot decide.
The look I prefer is that of the vintage chairs I sometimes find with their original covering. Subtle faded stripes that just seem to fit right in to our garden and lifestyle.
So tell me, if you were me, what would you choose?
bright and beautiful stripes from Toile du Soleil?
sweet toile de Jouy?
or a happy mix of flowers and stripes?
or would you do like I have done so often, and wait for that perfect vintage chair to call your name in a fair one Sunday morning? :)
Hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend and that you too, enjoy some quiet time in a deck chair
