Christmas Outdoor Fireplace

Out outdoor living space is one of my favorites to decorate for the holidays! I didn’t get around to decorating it for fall with all the backyard renovations, but I cleaned it up and gave it a fresh look for Christmas! I want to give you a little tour today of our Christmas Outdoor Fireplace.

I alway save my woodsy decor for our here. I like it to be a little Christmas cabin chic. Some pops of red and green and lots of plaid. And lot of trees! I like how it’s a little more traditional out here than the rest of the house.

You may remember I did a lot of work out here over the summer. I refinished the deck and also painted the ceiling white. It looks so much brighter! It’s fun to see it decorated for Christmas and how the ceiling makes it looks so different, yet most of the decor is the same.

It’s all about the accessories out here! Adding little Christmas bins, logs, fur throws and lots of pillows! I’ve had most of the items out here for a few years now, but some are still available online! I’m linking to what I can!

The other big item out here… TREES! Lots and lots of trees. I normally put a full size Christmas tree out here, you can see the whole Cabin Chic Tree I did last year out here, but I decided to put it in the new bonus room this year since we have been spending so much time in there.

I did pick up some new trees for out here though! I found these 4ft pre lit trees that I put on the end tables. I was going to put them on our porch, but decided they looked a little too small. But they are perfect out here!

Oh! These little concrete pots were also a new find this year. I found them at HomeGoods for just $7.99! Love the subtle wood design to them. And the trees I put in there are from IKEA, they are some of my favs!

I always struggle with what to put on the spot above the fireplace. Maybe one day I’ll do a full little forest up there! But for now, I put this DIY Snowflake Sign I made at the end of last year.

Here you can really see the new black deck! I will be honest, I am not 100% happy with how it wears. It shows dirt SO MUCH and so easily. I pressure washed it just for these pics but it’s normally really dusty. I don’t regret painting the privacy walls I love those darker, but I’m not sold on the paint we used on the deck.

I honestly can see us sitting out here with hot cocoa more than ever! Now that we spend almost all our time here, we really enjoy every inch of our house more and more.

    I absolutely LOVE your patio!! It’s more of a family room than a patio. It’s so cozy and welcoming. I have saved your picture for future reference. We’ll be remodeling our patio next summer and I want it to look just like yours!! Maybe not the black since you say it’s always looking dusty but I think any color might look the same. I love your furniture and rug also. That really brings it all together. Thank you for sharing your home with us all. I sincerely appreciate seeing all your beautiful ideas. I hope you have a beautiful Thanksgiving!! ??????

My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, i My goal with every room is to make it feel warm, inviting and extra cozy. It’s often the final finishing touches that truly transform the vibe of a room. I picked up some final styling pieces from @wayfair , I am obsessed with both side tables. They are both statement pieces. And the personal photos, candle, heart trays and leather pillows are why bring the warmth and personal touches into this space.

I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendl I finally found the perfect family and pet-friendly sofa that passes the designer test! This is the 5-Seat Modular Corner Sectional from @7thavenueco in the color Oatmeal Beige. We ordered it in the extra-deep seat option for ultimate coziness. The material is water-repellent, stain-resistant and you can also throw all covers in the wash!

We cannot say enough great things about this sofa, we all love it and just sink into it. It definitely passes the family test. Plus, it truly is gorgeous. It looks very chic. 

Comment SOFA and I’ll send you the link to this exact one!
