Good morning!
I'm so glad to join my friend Marty from A Stroll Thru Life for another installment of the Summer Home Tours. Stick with me while I walk you through all the summer updates brought to our home recently.
If you're coming from Eleven Magnolia Lane, welcome! Isn't Christy's new "Mint Chocolate Chip" house the cutest? I love it!
If you're one of my regular readers you probably know I'm on vacation right now. Yes, I'm in my home country, Colombia, with my son in a month long, and so overdue vacation! I'm having a really good time visiting lots of places and most importantly spending quality time with my family.
For this Summer Home tour, I decided to dress my newest favorite spot in my house, my backyard deck in it's best coastal décor.

This was one of my latest projects, the before of this space was a total junk yard. The Home Depot challenged me to transform my patio and well, this is what I came up with. You can see the before and after right HERE.

Before heading out on vacation I hosted a mini goodbye party, giving the entire space a Summery coastal feel.

| Pillowcase | Patio Set |
The serving cart was moved closer to the grill, outside the deck, and instead I tucked this small dining set right there, in the corner.

| Melamine Blue/Green Sea Life Dinnerware set | Tablecloth | Votives |

| Votive centerpiece | Blue crab pillowcase | Tablecloth |
The table and chairs set was a trash to treasure transformation that I'll probably share later on with you. Right now, I can't keep my eyes off that blue crab pillow. Love it!
I've been loving having a rug out here, it feels cozy and the entire space looks like a room inside your house.

Your backyard is so lovely. The coastal colors are the perfect summery touch! I'm amazed at that floating deck every time I see it. Wishing you all the best and rest in your beautiful home country. Susie from The Chelsea Project
ReplyDeleteThanks Susie! coastal decor is one of my favorites and every summer I try to add a little bit of it.
DeleteI'm having a really good time, lots of traveling. I think I'm leaving the resting part for when I get back home. Hopefully. :) Thanks for stopping by!
You just amaze me every time! I don't know how you decorated and prepared for a month long trip ?! Love your outdoor space dear, so relaxing and pretty! The plastic. Bench/ server is genius! As always, so honored to share this home tour with you dear , cheers! Enjoy Colombia! One of my close neighbors are Colombian and are there too for a month and tomorrow, I'm attending he wedding of two my closest Colombian friends!
ReplyDeleteOh, I was doing double duties for a full month, but now I know it was all worth it! ;) I'm now enjoying all the home tours whenever I have the time and good wi-fi! :D Enjoy the wedding!

ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing transformation! I love that your table turns into a fire pit by night! The colors you chose are gorgeous! I love lots of color in my outdoor spaces! Have a wonderful time in your home country! Thank you so much for the tour!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandy! I think the table/fire-pit is one of the things I like the most about that patio set. Setting fires in it it's really easy, and it has kept us away from electronics enjoying good family time. ;)
DeleteWhat a beautiful summer deck to hang out on!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fresh and fun summertime space! I adore the crab and turtle. Such a lovely and cooling color palette for hot days.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, my favorite detail is the table that turns into a fire pit, such a clever idea!
