Outdoor Livingroom

The dogs and I love lounging outdoors when Canadian weather permits and I intend for our outdoor living space to look chic and be comfortable.

This outdoor sectional is so nice and will really elevate the aesthetic of your yard.

If sectionals are not your thing, this 6 piece set is a complete and beautiful set that includes a little fire pit table. I just love it!

Sometimes you want to get out of the sun and sit on a covered porch… dress up your porch by incorporating some of these ideas.

I love thhis little bistro set for the front porch or a balcony… so cute!

If you don't have the space for an egg chair but would like a similar style, this is a great option. Or hang two side-by-side for when you don't want to sit alone.

This solid wood porch swing is so beautiful. Also available in unfinished wood if walnut is not your vibe.

This bistro set is so adorable. I just love it!

Landscaping That Wows

Sometimes all you need to do to update your yard is to add some curated landscaping or simple potted plants if you want to keep it simple. A little intentional greenery goes a very long way to turning your yard into an oasis,

I love these for hanging over the back deck or in our screened-in porch, they are just beautiful!

11in. Medium Gold Metal Indoor Outdoor Hanging Dome Wall Planter with Chain (2- Pack)

I love these for around the hottub and around the pond my husband is going to build. They will finish both nicely.

0.4 cu. ft., 2 in. to 3 in. Black Grade A Polished Pebbles

I love these to enhance doorways, stairs and to fill in corners.

14 in. x 27.5 in. Slate Rubber Self Watering Planter

We have one of these next to our greenhouse where my husband plants berries and tomatoes. We live in the country so it's important to keep the critters from eating our produce before we do!

I love these for the deck, they just add so much to the aesthetic.

40 in. /30 in. /20 in. H Black Metal Planters on Stand for Outdoor and Indoor (Set of 3)

These are perfect for our patio table, I just love them!

These pebbles glow in the dark at night. They are perfect for edging or walkways.

500-Count Glow-in-the-Dark Pebbles - Decorative Glowing Rocks for Flower Beds and Walkways

I don't know why but I have always wanted a bridge in my yard. We are totally working this into our landscaping plans, even if I have to put it over the culvert.

The Garden Bridge

This is totally going beside our pond.

Hand Crafted Weather Resistant Floor Fountain

This is going around our ugly well stack so we can turn our well into a wishing well (sort of). My husband will build an insert for the middle that we can plant flowers in, but will be removable if we need at our well.

Hot Tubbing It

I can't wait until we can put a hot tub in our backyard. I am cold about 10 months a year so this will really be a life saver.

I really like the look of this hottub. I feel like it would fit our outdoor design nicely

I really like the look of this one also!

Barcelona 5-Person Plug and Play 17-Jet Spa with LED Light Polar Insulation and Hard Cover

I really love the idea of a wood fired hottub, especially with the cost of power these days.

This 6-person plug and play hottub is so nice and spacious and is super easy to set up.

Deck Ideas

Our deck is old and is falling apart, so we are going to replace it with composite decking and I can't wait! The following are some ideas I am looking at.

This composite decking is so beautiful. It looks so natural, but will last forever. I'll be so happy not to have to stain our deck anymore.

Enhance Naturals Composite Decking Board

This deck design is so gorgeous. I love how it is built around the hottub.

15/16 in. x 5-1/4 in. x 16 ft. Stone Gray Grooved Edge Capped Composite Decking Board

This dark color is so beautiful. It would really look lovely against our light grey home.

UltraShield Naturale Magellan 1 in. x 6 in. x 16 ft. Hawaiian Charcoal Groove Composite Decking Board (10-Pack)

Our house backs on to a forest and our yard is usually filled with nature, so we are definitely putting in clear view glass around our deck so that our view is never blocked.

Hammocks & Lounge Chairs

I love laying out in the yard and catching some rays, but I'm too damn old to be laying on the ground. Here are some ideas to make laying out much more comfortable while beautifying your yard decor.

This pumpkin chair looks so comfortable and provides shade for when it's too hot!
