I took this shot in Hyde Park on a recent morning before 9:00. My guess is that the folks who are planning on using this outdoor living room were still catching a few last bits of slumber before freshening up and embarking on their busy days.
Note the nice balance of bright blue on two of the chairs with the ecru covering on the middle one. (While some might question the absence of a back on the middle chair, please note that its occupant can lean on the tree behind it. That, of course, lends a touch of communing with nature, a trait highly prized in Austin, Texas.) The overturned charcoal gray milk crates add a certain post-industrial flair while not detracting from the organic nature of the overall ensemble's look.
And it's not all play and no work for the residents! No, as you can see, they have an ironing board discreetly tucked into the tree to the left. Of course, it could also serve as a buffet style dining table.
I never saw an ironing board at a park or taken along on a picnic. I am not sure but might have missed the point.
ReplyDeleteI didn't do much today but...
I did write about how people used to wear long underwear over winter or until we began to stink. You can find the link at the bottom of the post today.

This is Austin, Abraham.
ReplyDeleteWe bend over backwards to keep things weird. In fact, that's the unofficial Austin motto-- "Keeping Austin Weird."
Just think how utilitarian the ironing is: use for pleasure or to complete a task. Smart!! I prefer it as a table for delectable food!
ReplyDeleteI have folding chairs like those.
