Good Morning! I hope all the Mothers out there had an amazing Mother’s Day and were pampered and celebrated! My crew and I enjoyed a quick overnight getaway because with kiddos all you really need is a hotel pool:) They swam, we ate at some really fun restaurants, they swam some more, and we took them shopping for much needed summer clothes (they grew out of everything all at once)!
And here we are in Mid-May… marching toward the end of the school year. With unbridled optimism for a relaxing Summer, I totally want to spruce up the backyard and make it more lounge-worthy. When we bought the house nine years ago the size of our back deck was a major selling feature, and since that time we have been very fortunate to host many parties and family gatherings there. Now, the deck needs a little extra TLC because the wear and tear of long winters is definitely showing. Boards need to be replaced, the annual cleaning and staining are definitely due, and some plants and flowers would go a long way….
Last year I added a polypropylene rug to our outdoor dining set-up and love how it added dimension to the space to make it feel more indoor/outdoor. This year I am eyeing a new umbrella and maybe even some outdoor curtains to provide more privacy…
Here are some fun finds I wanted to share in case you are looking to up your game in your own outdoor space:
