Neutral Modern Provencal Outdoor Space

I love our outdoor space in our courtyard. It was one of the very first spaces I did when we moved in because I just wanted to sit out here and listen to the fountain and soak up every ounce of this area. After 3 years, our beautiful white outdoor rug had seen it’s last days and it’s time for a little clean up out here before a big photoshoot I have coming up! After a failed new outdoor rug, I ended up bringing our outdoor rug from the backyard into the courtyard and I think it was meant for this space all along. I wanted to share some updated photos of our neutral modern provencal outdoor space.

Besides fun holiday decor, this is probably my favorite I’ve ever styled this space. It’s super simple, clean and a little more modern and sophisticated. I think it’s a good balance with the more traditional European architecture.

Doesn’t this neutral outdoor rug look so good in here? 3 years in and this one still looks perfect. I have always a bench in this spot between the sofas. I’ve had this set of concrete stump stools up until this point but in the back of my mind I wanted something different if I ever found the right piece. This RH bench was in our entry, it’s not outdoor friendly, but I’m going to keep it here for a bit until I can find something else. I feel like it adds more seating and gives it a more polished look.

Someone asked me the other day if we sit out here all the time. I wish I could say yet. I feel like I pop out here in the mornings between carpool duties while drinking coffee, we also do a few family fire nights in the fall with s’mores. I think it’s most often used when we have guests staying in the casita.

Neutral Outdoor Furniture

I absolutely love these copper lanterns. They work year round, have such a pretty tone to them and hold up extremely well. Our outdoor furniture is all from POLYWOOD, this is in the “vintage sahara” color which is my favorite that they make.

I snagged this large wooden bowl at HomeGoods this week and love how sleek and organic it looks in here. I found a similar one here for you!

Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been 19 years since I’ve been here and it’s even more magical than I remember! There is something truly special about this city. The architecture, the people, the most amazing pastries, and gorgeous gardens. Showing my family this city was a gift. I experience it in a different way each time and it just keeps getting better.

Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard furniture and decor! Unfortunately, when I get an idea I can’t stop until it’s done 😉. I got an itch to swap out our three chaise lounges for a large U-Shape sectional to create more seating and lounging poolside. I knew there was only one brand who could make this happen… I worked with @polywood to design a sectional that would be a complete custom fit for this little nook. I used the Braxton 6 Seat Sectional and added additional modular seats to get this look. I LOVE how it turned out! They can make anything happen! 

POLYWOOD outdoor furniture is made out of recycled plastics, making it durable in all weather climates. They also have a 20 year warranty.

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

LAUNDRY ROOM IS DONE ! This was a true example of LAUNDRY ROOM IS DONE ! This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character. (Swipe for the before) It now feels like my own little escape to the French countryside every time I do laundry, and I’m not mad about it.

My @worxtools Switch Driver and Impact Driver were the real MVP’s of this project! Saving me time and energy. I love how it now doubles as a shelf to display antiques I’ve collected throughout the years and also helps me keep this place organized!
