It’s hard to believe that in another month or two our patio will be looking like this:
When right now it’s still looking like this:
We’re making progress though – the snow finally melted enough over the past two days that we saw the first glimpses of our patio chairs (those suckers have been buried for weeks!).
Once all the snow is gone, I’d love to start getting our patio decked out for spring. We have most of the basics – four lounge chairs, a coffee table, and a dining table with chairs – but no outdoor accessories. Boring! So I’ve been checking out all of the new outdoor lines that the stores have started rolling out and I’ve got a little patio wish list going (affiliate links are indicated by an asterisk). I’d love some beautiful new planters,
side tables to rest drinks (and chips and guacamole of course),
a pretty outdoor rug (this first one is sooo calling my name),
and a basket full of throws right inside the door to the patio for chilly spring nights:
Some outdoor pillows are a must-have too but I haven’t seen any that I’m crazy about. Have you guys come across any good ones?
BTW, I finally finished up the painting of our foyer yesterday (about time right?!). I’m excited to put it back together this week and share its new look with you!

March 10, 2015 at 8:13 amI can’t wait until it starts warming up so we can spend some time outside on the patio. Our balcony is under cover, so I was able to start cleaning up and dusting things off. I am thinking about changing some things around this year. I can’t wait to see how your space will look like. 🙂

March 10, 2015 at 12:12 pmKris, you have such a lovely backyard! The snow just melted here in Illinois too, and it’s such a relief to have it all gone and hear the sounds of spring! The galvanized planters are a fantastic idea! Can’t wait to see what you choose!

March 10, 2015 at 3:31 pmLove your inspiration pictures. While no snow here, we have to wait for pollen season to come and go before we do anything!

March 10, 2015 at 3:35 pmOh, Kris, I would love a patio like yours. We have an ugly deck that needs a lot of work and I need furniture.

March 10, 2015 at 9:04 pmOMG! That is a lot of snow! My porch and patio have been on my mind a lot too. I have seen some great stuff on Joss & Main. I usually make my outdoor pillows every year because I am never happy with the choices out there. I love where you are going with your outdoor design. I am certain it will look great!
