The sun is shining, the windows are open, and we’re cooking out a LOT more lately and that means I’m finally going to tackle my back patio!
This place has been neglected like nobody’s business, and I’m so ashamed of myself. I mean, look at it.
Lucky for me, my friends over at Kirkland’s are having a great sale on outdoor furniture and decor, and I knew I had to stalk their site for inspiration!
Bicycle Door Mat, Mason Jar String Lights, Wooden Chalkboard Planter, Yellow Outdoor Chair, Turquoise Bench, Coral Settee Cushion, Chevron Pillows, Outdoor Curtain Panel, Bronze Hedgehog
I’m currently undecided on what colors I want the curtains to be, or if I’ll have them at all (just another thing to clean!) but I think they’d help for privacy to hang on the side of the patio that faces the driveway (and the garbage can!) and help frame in the bar I am going to try to build in on the opposite side.
I’m also searching Pinterest for some outdoor table plans so I can put my Kreg Jig to use! These are my two current favorites (click photo to go to source):
Normally I’m more of a “neutral with a pop of color” gal, but I really want this outdoor area to be bright and fun, so I may have gone overboard on the color choices so far. What do you think? Too much color or not enough?

I love Kirklands and have already bought several things for our new house (and we haven’t even moved in yet). Their stuff is so cute but still very affordable! Visiting from Frugal Crafty Home.

Love it! I do more brights outside too. It just seems to make it more fun and festive! Love Kirklands too! I am visiting from Merry Monday.

It is more fun and festive! Makes me want to be outside more, hopefully it all turns out just as fun!

There’s no such thing as too much color, Kristina, especially outdoors!
