Have I mentioned that I am a huge fan of outdoor living?
As in… starting the day with coffee on the patio
and relaxing by the fire in the rock fireplace at night during summer?
Outdoors is where most everything takes place from spring through fall
Conversations and laughter
an occasional round of Disney karaoke
and water balloon fights of epic proportions when the boys are home.
For our family, our outdoor areas are truly a part of our home
and are definitely part of where we ‘live’ much of the year.
But can I let you in on a secret?
The covered area with the fireplace and large chairs?
Well they were getting a little worse for the wear and we are more straight chair kind of sitting folks because of an old back injury so we were always adding another pillow behind us to get comfortable.
(the sawdust from the recent project also did not add to the charm of the patio)
So when I had the opportunity to partner with Joss & Main
to give my patio a much needed softer style, comfortable refresh with some of their pretty pieces
(which are tagged in a couple photos below)
I was pretty thrilled to join in.

I was pretty thrilled to join in.
And so was Sweet Pea.
I did some planning and dreamed up what I wanted the spaces to look like.
Sweet.
Easy to care for
and big on charm.
And we refreshed, planted plants and set up.
And I took a hundred photos
and then took 27 more…
so just sharing a few today.
The first space is the covered patio-
where the fireplace is.
I am in love with how soft and feminine it feels
with pretty blush pillows mingling with whitewashed wicker.
I started with these charming wicker chairs from Joss & Main- in.love.
and created a seating area around that old vintage table
I had out here previously.
Loving how well the weathered wood and whitewashed wicker mingle
with the galvanized roof and rock fireplace.
The chairs are definitely on the dainty side-perfect size for a dining chair as well
but I can use them with a soft pillow
on the back and after squishing them in a bit- they work great for next to the fire.
I will be sharing in much more detail soon of course- and
I am also joining 10 of my blog friends for a fun tour with Joss & Main-
which is also featured at Country Living.
with one of us sharing each day. Yesterday, Ella Claire Inspired shared and oh my gosh- how gorgeous it is!! You won’t want to miss it-
And tomorrow- don’t miss Love Grows Wild
I am off to go grab a cup of coffee and relax for a few minutes before getting back to work.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

I am in love! I have always admired your amazing rock fireplace, but the new wicker chairs look just wonderful with it and the coffee table, making the patio even prettier than before (if that's possible!) It must be a magical place to sit at night!

Your patio is gorgeous! That fireplace is incredible and I love the chairs. It doesn't hurt to have a darling doggie as an accessory either! So pretty!

Hi Courtney,
Can I ask you what the official name of your whitewashed wicker chairs is called? I've looked on Joss and Main and can't find them. Thank you!
Chair in love,
Barb ????????

Hi Courtney, love your patio it's beautiful. The white roses in the jar on your patio coffee table did you grow them? I'm in love with them. Do you by any chance know what kind of roses they are?
