Spring Outdoor Living Space

Disclosure: I am an ambassador for the BHG Live Better Network. All opinions are 100% my own. 

I never really decorated for ‘seasons’ until we moved into this home. I’ve really enjoyed switching out our decor in a few different places as the weather turns from the cold of winter to warm rain and eventually beautiful sunny summers.

This month, Better Homes and Garden Challenged us to spruce up an outdoor space for spring using the BHG Live Better Line at Walmart. I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this challenge. I don’t take our amazing outdoor living space for granted and it’s my favorite place to decorate for each season. Today I’m giving you a tour of our Spring Outdoor Living Space.

Spring Outdoor Living Space with Farmhouse Style

I wanted to go with a really neutral and organic look for this space. Something that feels refreshing and is full of life with fresh greenery.

Succulents

I picked really beautiful pieces from the BHG Live Better Line at Walmart that have a subtle farmhouse look to them but are also very classic.

Industrial Farmhouse Style Outdoor Space

I’m a huge fan of pedestal candle holders right now and theseCeramic White Pillars were such a great find.

Outdoor Succulent Display

I loved the style of this Jar Rail Candle Holder and decided to turn it into a cute succulent display. So fun!

Succulents in Watering Can

If you have been following me for a while, you may remember this watering can makeover from a few years ago. I love bringing older projects out again and using them!

DIY Planters

I added pops of greenery in various bins and planters, including these Galvanized Bins from Walmart. I simply added a stencil to each to personalize them and make them feel like spring. I love how the fresh lavender smells!

Vintage Style Pillows

Does this pillow print look familiar? Maybe from my Free Spring Printable this week? I’ll be sharing a tutorial on it soon!

Hanging Lantern Lights

Vintage Lantern String Lights

I instantly fell in love with these Vintage Lantern Lights . I mean, SO cute.

      Hi! Thank you so much. We bought the set a few years ago and I can’t seem to find it online anymore either. If I stumble upon it, I will let you know!

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.
