Every once in awhile, we need to pivot and execute something with "off the rack", quickly available products to finish a project, and this one just happened to be for my own parents!
We just finished a comprehensive kitchen remodel for their home, and their energy level and budget have been depleted through that lengthy process. Their condo has a beautiful patio that needs some love. They want to enjoy their charming outdoor space this summer, so we rolled up our sleeves to see what we could get quickly to allow them to get outside, as soon as THIS WEEKEND!
The exterior of their condo has some colors that we are inheriting, and the teals and tans are prevalent, so we decided to riff on those colors to pull things together, harmoniously with what was the space's existing "DNA".
Area rugs are a great way to unite an outdoor color palette, and give a space an instantly more polished vibe. This one was a whopping 7'10" x 10' for less than $150.00
My folks wanted to seat four people for dinner, or their neighbors for an impromptu cocktail hour, so we opted for this teak, round outdoor dining table. Their off season storage is limited, so this one was perfect it folds up for winter storage!
My folks new home is close to our office, so a comfortable place to collapse after a long work day was on my mind, when I picked these outdoor woven dining chairs, which are so comfortable they can also double as lounge chairs. We needed four, so we are getting two sets of two, for less than $600.00.
Next we needed something jaunty and colorful to control the summer sun, so we are scooping up this teal and white striped market umbrella to give their outdoor space instant personality, and to tie to our new outdoor area rug.
To keep the new umbrella secure, we added this 26 pound umbrella stand to our cart. This will keep everything stable and looking fantastic on the new patio.
My mom LOVES plants, so we have to add some architecturally-inspired planters and frothy ferns to complete the look.
What a huge relief - they will be enjoying their new space in style, all by the time this weekend rolls around! Need help styling your spaces? We've got you! Grab your very own Free Discovery Call below by clicking on the bird - we'd love to hear all about you and your home!
