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!
