It’s that time of year! Winter is over, Spring is in full bloom and we are all ready to host those outdoor gatherings as soon as it’s safe. For us, we cope with having to stay home by spending a lot of time outdoors. It’s truly inspired me to create our ideal set up for our back patio. You know I couldn’t help but throw in the serving pieces that are on my wishlist!

This post may be fully selfish because we started with nothing on our back patio. We have a set of chairs from our first apartment we received from our wedding, but that’s it. I created this with a budget in mind so that we could maximize style while really being conscious of our spending, especially during these uncertain times.

My favorite items in this round up? The blue and white serving platter, the blue rimmed ruffle plates, and the garden stool. I chose this garden stool because… and I know you’ll think I’m crazy saying this…. But the blue and white chinoiserie garden stool is overdone. There I said it! Unless you can find a unique vintage one, all of the ones in the retail stores are everywhere. When I saw this one it made my fingers stop in their scrolling tracks. That’s when you know it’s a good one.

What are you looking forward to doing when this quarantine is over? As always, if there is a space that you need a little help with shoot me a DM on instagram & visit my design services here.
