inspiration for future afternoons

with summer just around the corner, i am planning (on a budget) to transform our backyard to an outdoor dinner party-worthy oasis -- with the added hope of making a table from salvaged wood & metal. we've already had our fair share of foldable chairs, resting plates of food on our laps & drinks on the concrete, etc. in the meantime, i'm using these photos as inspiration for continuous daydreams about future lazy afternoons with homemade baked goods & girlfriends.
