13 Things To Add to Your Outdoor Space this Summer

May 25, 2016

Since we're focusing on our outdoors a lot this summer--the deck is wrapping up!--I've been doing a lot of hunting around for furnishings. We have most of our bigger items picked out, but accessories can add so much personality to a space. Or, they can update a tired patio on a smaller budget. Here are a few things I have my eye on (all under $100!):
The-Best-Outdoor-Accessories

1. Concrete Fluted Planter--Pottery Barn $99
2. Lawn Bowling Game--William Sonoma $55
3. Natural Outdoor Pouf--Target $49
4. Green Alonso Geo Outdoor Lumbar Pillow--World Market $18
5. Copper Beverage Tub--Wayfair $54
6. Pendleton Plaid Lambswool Throw--Backcountry $65
7. Ceramic Planter with Leather Strap--World Market $34
8. Synthetic Jute Trimmed Outdoor Pillow--Pottery Barn $39
9. Wall Planters--Crate & Barrel $5
10. Wood Slat Chaise--World Market $95
11. Striped Napkins and Buffalo Check Napkins--William Sonoma $24 (set of 4)
12. Globe String Lights--Crate & Barrel $39
13. Brass Swivel Wall Thermometer--Amazon $17

It has been pouring down rain here every day, which is super unusual for Idaho, but the deck progress is chugging along and we can't wait to hang out there all season long. Hope to have an update for you on that by the end of the week! In the meantime, I'm just going to pretend it's sunny and continue filling my online shopping carts.

  1. I'm in the midst of a backyard renovation myself and am loving ally these things. It reminded me to do some digging around to find some great, durable table linens that I won't feel awful getting dirty ;)

  2. I love that thermometer! I will be buying that asap! Do you have any good sources for outdoor furniture?

  3. Some great picks! Love the buffalo check napkins. If you have a Costco near you, their globe string lights are amazing. 48ft for $50, and are great quality.

This post is not sponsored and all opinions are my own. Nothing matches a beautiful wooden cutting board (our Boos board lives on my counter—it's a piece of art and sturdy as an ox).

How to Perfectly Cook a Steak in Any Kitchen

The best way to make a steak is indoors. That's not a concession! It's done in all of the best steakhouses. They don't tend to use a grill, even though that is where most of us start when it comes to cooking a steak. This time of year? I'd rather be indoors than freezing outside, […]
