Summer is finally here and if you don’t have your patio ready for the season yet, this small patio makeover has plenty of ideas to inspire you!
Let me start by confessing to you that I have been neglecting this small patio for quite some time now, as you can see that in the “Before” photo I am sharing with you. The truth is, we significantly downsized, having to donate or sell most of our furniture before relocating across the country. However, over time and thanks to some fantastic deals I’ve found at Wayfair, particularly like with their current Epic Summer Sale, we are gradually transforming this house into a home. This summer, I finally reached my limit with the state of our patio and couldn’t wait any longer to give it some TLC. The result? We now have an inviting outdoor space that we are excited to enjoy during this beautiful season that is about to start. I hope this motivates you to do the same—not only to take pride in the home you are creating but also to prioritize self-care. I’ve discovered that just by sitting outside, breathing in fresh air, and soaking up the warmth of the season, I return indoors feeling happier and more relaxed. Caring for our home is truly a form of self-care.

How much I love this little patio of ours! An outdoor conversation set can easily change everything! I also can’t recommend this outdoor rug enough. It’s the most comfortable outdoor rug I have ever step on. The planters I will show you soon are bestsellers and I can see why. They are so beautiful and versatile. Now, are you ready to see the “Before” of this small outdoor space?
No!!! Yes, really! This is real life, my dear friends!!! LOL And this is what the right patio furniture and some accessories can do to an outdoor space. Of course, some spring cleaning also helps! Kudos to my hubby for washing our windows! 😉 As you can see, even Marley is much happier! This is actually her favorite spot. 🙂
This is such a happy spot, isn’t it? Can you tell that my gorgeous shrub is a faux Cedar shrub?! It looks so real, you won’t believe it isn’t! I am also happy to share with you that you can shop for everything outdoors now with deals up to 80% off during Wayfair’s Epic Summer Sale ending 6/16. They are also offering free & easy shipping over $35! 🎉🎉🎉
This outdoor coffee table is perfect for us to place our drinks or snacks, but I also wanted it to look pretty and I think it turned out great. How would you decorate it?

We spent many years living by the beach, and these glass garlands serve as a tribute to the wonderful moments we shared by the sea while raising our children. They embody a rustic coastal charm and are simply perfect!

I am considering adding outdoor string lights to this area; however, the outdoor lanterns combined with the outdoor flameless candles (which conveniently come with a remote) provide the perfect amount of warm, glowing light at night. They make this space feel so romantic and cozy!

It’s also a sweet reminder that when life gives you lemons, you make sweet lemonade and enjoy it on your newly decorated patio! 😉

As I previously mentioned in this post, this rug is the most comfortable outdoor rug I have ever had. It is not rough in any way, and it’s really well made. I can tell that it will last for a long time; plus, it’s very stylish! We actually got some rain on it, and it dried really fast. I am sharing a closer-up picture of this outdoor rug, so you can see the texture.
