Outdoor Living Space Decorated For The Holidays

Discloser: This post is in partnership with Zazzle. I absolutely LOVE working with them and they always have everything I am looking for, so yes opinions are 100% my own :)

Happy Holidays! Are you loving all of the home tours happening on all the blogs lately?! I love looking at how everyone decorates their home for Christmas! Yesterday I shared part 1 of my Christmas Home Tour and let you in on my holiday porch and Christmas Tree and mantel. And as promised, today I’m taking you on a tour of our Outdoor Living Space Decorated For The Holidays!

Cozy outdoor living space dressed up for the holidays
I went with a more rustic glam look for the rest of the house but for out here I wanted to keep it fun and cozy and throw in the rustic vintage look that I love so much. And guess what, I used color! I thought these pops of red just fit this space perfectly and really warmed it up.

Outdoor Living Space Dressed Up For The HolidaysI feel like Hunter boots are becoming the staple for every house tour. I’ve always loved how Lucy uses her boots in all her tours and I thought I’d add mine out here as well because they sure are cute :)

Let It Snow Pillow and Chalkboard BlanketI found this chalkboard inspired blanket on Zazzle and thought it was the cutest thing for our space. I will say that the final product didn’t quite resemble a chalkboard but I still like it! And how cute is this Let It Snow Pillow?

Fun ideas for dressing up an outdoor spaceThis is the most inviting and cozy this space has felt since we moved in! I’m tempted to keep up the decor all year :)

Tree round pillow and rustic Merry Christmas Pillow

S'more StationAnd that mini s’more station, that isn’t just for decoration! I bought the mini burner for Little Man’s Camping Party and we use it out here all the time since we can’t use the fireplace for it. It’s become a fun family event when we have warmer evenings and the kids always have a blast.

Cozy Outdoor Living Space decked out for winterI found This Shop on Zazzle that I fell in love with. It is SO ME and I bought almost everything for this space from there. Seriously amazing vintage modern pieces.

Personalized Rustic Pillows

I’m pretty sure every home needs one of these adorable personalized pillows. I mean come on.

Mini DIY S'more stationI absolutely love this Christmas Tray. I was surprised how well it is made. The bottom has a glossy finish and is really awesome.

Christmas Mug From ZazzleAnd how cute is this Stag Mug? I think I have used it every day since I got it. I think it is so adorable and fits my style perfectly.

    Goodness I love how you styled this space! I wish someday we will live in a non-cookie cutter house-away from this desert- so that I can make our house feel like a home- just like you!

    Hello – I am decorating our outdoor space and love your style! Those pillows are the best! Question: what sizes did you go with for the express mail and deer head? 16×16 or larger?

      I believe mine are 16X16! Larger would be fun too, but we use these smaller accent pillows.
