The weather has been amazing and we are really enjoying our outdoor space. As a brand ambassador for Better Homes and Gardens at Walmart, today I am sharing my blue heaven: Our Outdoor Living Space.

My outdoor space is my playground, I love decorating outside even more that I do inside. The fresh air and warm breeze reminds me of playing outside when we were growing up. Memories of the days when I only dreamed of owning a house and entertaining. We’ve come a long way from mud-pies on the back porch 😉

Six ways to create a cozy and inviting outdoor space:

  • Add a dining space – seating area
  • Add pops of color (I spray painted some Goodwill candlesticks)
  • Use melamine dishes (who wants to clean up broken glass)
  • Fresh flowers or potted plants
  • Candles
  • Pillows

I placed a mason jar filled with water in the Better Homes and Gardens frosted hurricane candle holder. I love that soft frosted look. It will be my double duty beauty. She can be caught sporting a candle or a bunch of flowers.

Fresh flowers and Aqua, Navy dishes perfect for outdoor entertaining

The melamine pieces are new this year, but the plastic glasses are from last year. I love being able to mix and match.

The BHG Lynnhaven square dining set is beautiful and comfortable. I love the mix of woven backs, cushioned seats and metal.

Get the plans for the potting table/buffet. I made it with 2×4’s!

A few weeks ago I built this table, it’s been busy working outside since then! Here I’m using it as a serving area and to display some of my thrifty collectables.

Blue, Aqua, Turquoise, Navy – are my favorite colors. I have a growing collection of pieces to use when entertaining.

    1. Wow, this is so gorgeous. I would love to host family and friend dinner parties in a beautiful place like this. This is definitely what we will be following when we start to decorate our patio.

    2. I really wish that I had a nice outdoor living space. It does get super hot in Texas though. Maybe our next home will have a larger outdoor space, pool, and kitchen. A girl can dream right. 🙂

    3. I learned a lot by reading your post and got many ideas for my patio that definitely need some sprucing up. I will definitely be checking out the Better Homes and Gardens website as I love the bright colors of the dishes they have.

    4. The turquoise is beautiful! I’ve always thought it makes a great color to freshen and brighten a space without being too intense! And I love that you have an entire set for patio dining! I don’t even have a balcony in my apartment, but a girl can dream! What a great space to have family dinner or a little cocktail night with friends!

    5. Pops of color can make a huge difference in an outdoor living space. I used turquoise and orange on our patio and it just looks so inviting!

    6. We are still a couple months away from getting our patio ready for spring.
      Honestly, I wish we could get everything set up now but I know that we are in for at least one storm if not two before then so it doesn’t really make much sense!
      Love the robin egg blue.. so pretty!

    7. I love how you decorated your outdoor space. These are my favorite colors. And those candlesticks that you repainted are awesome. What a lovely space!
