Summer Home Tour - 2017

Good morning!

I'm so glad to join my friend Marty from A Stroll Thru Life for the 2017 Summer Home Tours. It's always so exciting to share with you all the changes I give my home for the new season, and Summer is no exception.

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 decor.

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.

Patio Set with Firepit  |  Rug  |  Turtle Pillow

After completing the makeover during early Spring, this has been our hang out spot. My son has become an expert turning on the fire-pit. During the day it looks like a regular round coffee table, but once the night sets in, it's the S'mores spot.


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

The coral and blue palette blended nicely with all the greenery around it.


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

The little table was set in its best coastal attire... A fishnet tablecloth, those pretty dishes and my DIY votive centerpiece.

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.

Bicycle pillow cover  |  Basket  |  Squirrel (similar)

Same thing happens with the pillows, it's so easy to change the look of a space by simply switching the pillows. Out here, they even serve as sitting cushions.

Step stool |  potting benches

I decided to use the potting benches as serving benches. The paint has held very well. Removing the terracotta planters and giving the shelves a light cleaning was all I needed to have a clean canvas to decorate for Summer.

The shelves held decor and serving pieces...

Glass Storage Jar  |  Sea Shells

And lots of sea shells! :)

Patio Umbrella  |  Planter  |  String lights

Well, once I come back from my trip I'm going to be out here enjoying this space some more!
