Remember when we house crashed Jaime’s colorful and cozy home last June (more on that here)?
Well, she redid her back deck and sweetly sent the eye candy our way. And we were instantly in love. It’s so welcoming and full of awesome DIY inspiration.
What do I mean by DIY inspiration? Let’s look a little closer at the daybed under that sweet breezy canopy (that Jaime made here).
When you get even closer you’ll notice that the daybed…
… is actually made from pallets! Check out a full tutorial on how Jaime built it (all by herself) here.
And just look at this cozy eating area. I love the mix of smooth and natural (textured light + shiny metal chairs = be still me beating heart). You know I’m a sucker for that graphic chevron bench cushion and the sweet hanging fabric garlands (that Jaime also made herself – deets here).
Is that not a delicious outdoor room? Yes I just channeled Martyn Lawrence-Bullard from Million Dollar Decorators and said delicious. What can I say, I’m excited. I love how it feels enclosed and private yet open and airy at the same time.
This table setting = yesssssss.
And John is obsessed with the bike-wheel-ish details at the bottom of this sideboard.
Let’s not overlook the ceramic animal party going on next to this awesome oversized jug of pink lemonade. Makes me giddy.
Check out Jaime’s blog for all the where-she-got-it-details (and even more amazing photos). But first let’s play the what’s-your-favorite-part game. I’m gonna go with the awesome woven light fixture and the gorgeous pallet daybed. Girl power.
Psst- Jaime’s friend Raya snapped these photos for her, so we wanted to give her credit over here too. Oh and click here to check out all of our other House Crashing adventures (or sort things by room or color here).
Psssst- Speaking of House Crashing, one of our favorite houses that we ever crashed is officially for sale. So if you’re looking for a gorgeous casa in Charlotte, click here for more info (and here and here to see two house crashing posts devoted to it).
I’m still madly in love with that headboard they made *wistful sigh* That fabric is KILLER :o)
What a gorgeous home! That headboard just made my heart beat a little faster :)
Sherry,
Please tell the couple in Charlotte who have their house for sale that they need to paint their kitchen cabinets white and change the hardware. They have a great house, but the kitchen looks really dated. The color expert whose blog I read daily recent spoke of a kitchen just like this couples and the need to paint the cabinets white to update the kitchen, make it more attractive, and have a much better chance of selling and selling at a better price.
Their house is great, but the kitchen needs work.

I think they have a few interested buyers already! But thanks for the suggestion.

This home is gorgeous! I especially love the navy print headboard with the red wall… its classic but still has a relaxed feel. Thanks for posting!
Love that bike wheel sideboard!
Those pallet daybeds are all over the place in blogland, I love them! My fave though would have to be the elephants and of course the chevron. I’ve recently been doing a little tweaking with our back porch area too, if you want to see it here’s the link

I’ve recently purchased some pre-loved chairs which I’ll be painting and I just HAVE to get me one of those gorgeous tea carts!

Oh that back patio room! LOVE it. I think I’m with John and especially love the bike wheel on the cart and then also just the idea of a day bed outside has me smitten.
Also, that Noda house is on the market?! Adorable and a shorter commute and seriously, so tempting.
Beautiful house and wonderful pictures. Thanks for sharing. Love the cutesie little elephants on the table :).
Hi!
I’m in LOVE with the pallet bed, it’s exactly what I was looking for. I looked at it within the last couple of weeks and now I need it the page doesn’t come up on prudent baby! :'( any chance it can be reposted??? I’m planning to make one for my dads birthday. Will be perfect next to the pool.
Thanks for your help

The link for building the Daybed does not work, could you give me a web address to find it? Thanks
So sorry! I don’t know the new link, but maybe if you go to her site and search pallet daybed it’ll come up?
