Picking Modern Outdoor Patio Furniture

May 09

Modern Outdoor Patio Furniture shopping guides for both a deck lounge area and patio dining area.

Modern Outdoor Patio Furniture

As we’re working away on the exterior of our house, I’m getting more and more excited to furnish our patios! Last week I shared the design board and plans for our exterior makeover. We started on it last year but ran into some road blocks. Last year we stripped the house of siding, dealt with the issues, and tore down our old decks and built some new ones. Phew! Not to mention the work we did inside, like our entry, my office, and the boys bedroom. Anyways… we’re doing our siding on the back of the house first. At this point… we’ve been the ‘under construction’ house on the street for over a year- what’s another month or two?

So we’re focusing our time in the backyard so we can start enjoying this nicer weather to the fullest. We can’t wait to eat dinners out here and lounge out here with morning coffee. Especially with all the extra time we’ve had at home lately, I just can’t wait! Additionally- we’ve been dealing with a flood and the restoration inside our house (all. new. floors.) so having an outdoor sanctuary will be such a nice retreat from the chaos of inside. So while Shane works away on the siding, I’m picking some modern outdoor patio furniture! Quite literally… he’s cutting siding 6 feet away from me while I sit on our bottom, brick patio. I promise, I’ll get up and help him again once I hit publish ;)

Our old patios were such strange shapes and sizes that we couldn’t fit even a dinner table that fit our family. The top deck had angles making it big enough for two chairs and the wooden deck had two levels as if it used to house a hot tub but since it didn’t any more- both of the levels were too small to use for any seating. When we tore those out, we found rotten beams and a BUNCH of things hidden under the wooden deck. Like not one but two hot tub covers. We rebuilt the upper deck larger- straightening it out into a rectangle. We rebuilt the lower deck all one level. Now we’ll have space for an outdoor lounge area and an outdoor dining area!. Now for the fun part… picking outdoor furniture!

I’ve partnered with Article to put together a few designs for each of the spaces (see all my policies here). I have a personal favourite, but I’m going to show these to Shane to see which one he likes the best before I show him my picks. They’re really all so lovely – I’d be thrilled with any of them. Also- these designs include everything. I know we’ll be scaling back but I got a bit carried away with the photoshop ;) It’s fun to dream, right?!

UPDATE! We’ve finished the spaces! See the dining space HERE and the lounge space HERE.

This one I’ve set in front of our view, but I’ve definitely cropped all of the houses out of the foreground ;)

Who has DIY projects on their mind this year?! @ry Who has DIY projects on their mind this year?! @ryobi_canada and I want to help you start knocking those projects off your list by giving away a new nailer and battery set! #ad 
This tool is what we used for this accent wall and all the trim in our home. It’s the one I used to trim out my built in shelving and add the decorative moulding to my geometric barn door. What I’m saying is this thing is a workhorse and I want you to have one too 😉

Let’s talk about coffee! This is my coffee ‘st Let’s talk about coffee! This is my coffee ‘station’ and the second photo is my dads! I’m talking aaaall about them over on YT today!
Also... see how nice that fresh silicone looks?! 😉 IYKYK
The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stink The hallway is finally finished and I’m so stinking happy! 

It’s felt like such a long time coming for such a small space. Since we moved in 2.5 years ago, this space has seen new doors and hardware, new trim, new floors... twice😅, we changed the boob light to a pot light and I hated it and now it’s got the most beautiful flush mount fixture I’m in love with (thanks @mymitzi!). It finally got some fresh paint and now frames on walls and last but not least... After this weekend, the new floors look like they were here all along (no door jamb gaps!) which was the last thing really bugging me since our flood last year. 

All this to say that home takes time and sometimes getting it right might take a couple tries. Also- the spaces we don’t really think about (hallways) can totally help a house feel like home with some love (and family photos 🥰)
ps. I partnered with #mymitzi to create a tiktok for This makeover... are you following me over there yet?! I’d love if you popped over and said hi!
It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a grea It’s done! It works! And I’m calling it a great use of my afternoon the other day. Did you catch the stories? These projects both cost me under $10 by using pieces I already had in my home (yay for scraps!) and one package of drawer slides).
You can find the full video about these two kitchen organization projects over on YouTube in collaboration with my friend @love_create_celebrate and her #scrapsmademodern challenge! But for now... I’m rejoicing this coffee maker is off my counter for good 🎉
How’s your January going? Full speed or are you How’s your January going? Full speed or are you taking it a bit slow too? 

I’m not going to lie, I’m easing into this new year thing pretty slowly. All my decorations are still up (we always leave them up til Ukrainian Christmas which is later this week) and I I’ve yet to respond to my emails since before Christmas 😅
I’m enjoying the slowness of it all.
Happy Christmas Eve from our fam to yours 🥰 Happy Christmas Eve from our fam to yours 🥰
Yes, I made the paper bag snowflakes too. Have you Yes, I made the paper bag snowflakes too. Have you? 😅
This year has been one of a kind and I know so man This year has been one of a kind and I know so many people who are taking this year as the push they’ve been waiting for to start a side hustle, start an new career altogether or to just get creative about how they’re making money. So today I’m excited to partner with @kregjig to share some rad projects to make and sell this year! 
Like this rolling storage system I made for my office, that rad dollhouse and the gorgeous bath toy storage. All of these projects are things that I’d personally love to buy for our family and look like they’d be a great return on your time making them! And yes, all of them use #Kreg tools to make them easy to assemble and quick to make! Plus, they’re having a great sale on right now with deals on their K4 and K5 jigs, Rip-Cut and even a hardware jig bundle! There’s never been a better time to get your workshop set up!  #sponsored
Just a peaceful moment and then a real life moment Just a peaceful moment and then a real life moment for ya 🙃 
My #holidayhometour is on the blog and YouTube (I’ll put links in my stories) as part of the #seasonalsimplicity holiday home tour series. I’ll share those too so you don’t miss any!
