Modern Coastal Outdoor Decor

Sharing is caring!

Last week, I shared our summer home tour but I still have one space left to show! This time last year we updated our outdoor living space with all new furniture, so this year it was time to try something new and add a few pops of color. I know, color? Not a word you hear me say too often but I added just a touch to makes this space feel like summer with some Modern Coastal Outdoor Decor.

Modern Coastal Outdoor Decor

Black and White Outdoor living space with pops of tropical palms. Great take on Modern Coastal Decor.

Welcome to our tropical oasis! Last year everything was so fresh and clean and all brand new that I kept it simple. But this year I wanted to give it more of a summer feel. I picked up this set of tropical pillow covers on Amazon for a ridiculous price and I was so impressed with them. It was an easy way to give this space a new look and big pop!

We love spending time in this space during the warmer months. It’s always the place that people flock to during gatherings and it’s my favorite spot to sit after the kids go to bed.

Summer Outdoor Entertaining

Summer entertaining with outdoor living space!

I love to entertain, especially during the summer. Just last weekend we had people over and majority of the time everyone sat right out here. So it’s always one of my first places to get cleaned up for summer time!

Outdoor Living Space with Privacy Screen.

This year I tried something a little different out here and hung artwork on the privacy screen. I thought it needed little something extra. It’s different, a little modern and asymmetrical and I kinda like it. It just brings a little warmth to the space. What do you think?

And when the kids are asking for a snack for the millionth time this summer, I hope to be sitting right here enjoying a book and nice weather ;)

Now I encourage you to scroll down and view so many gorgeous outdoor living spaces! They are all absolutely stunning, I am so impressed!

Well, I think I just added a new project to my lis Well, I think I just added a new project to my list! After many years of doing this job full time, my “office” has typically been the living room couch and the kitchen counter... but that isn’t really sustainable anymore (not a bad thing!), so my husband and I talked about turning his home office into a shared office space soon! Honestly, I don’t know why it took us so long to do this, maybe because it hasn’t really been as much of an issue until now, but I’ve got some ideas for my new office space in here! I won’t change a whole lot, but I think it’s going to be simple and perfect! Do you and your spouse share an office space?!

I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We officially took down the TV and moved it to the wall. I was looking for either a modern artwork piece or mirror and I am in love with this one! It’s the perfect mix of simple and modern with subtle mid-century modern lines. I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

Would you believe this brick wall is just removabl Would you believe this brick wall is just removable wallpaper?! It’s simple things like this that can completely change a space. It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.

I had a few requests for more pics of this space recently, so you can swipe through to see more and the before pic. We use this space so much (even the kids set up courses in here), and we have plans to finish more of the garage space this year. You can view more details on the blog by searching “home gym”.

I’ve got bathrooms on my mind! Here is our kids’ shared jack-n-Jill bathroom that I did a few years back. I still love the design and so glad I went with a pop of blue in here! I’ve started the planning process for our other upstairs bathroom and went searching for tile today (see stories)! I am getting so excited for this project, I’ve been gathering tons of inspiration photos and I’ll share them this week!
