Backyard Patio Hangout

March 6, 2017

 

Family came into town this weekend, and so did the warmer temps! I used this as an excuse to bring our dead patio back to life for some weekend celebrating. We are taking a gamble that the weather is here to stay here in Georgia, so let’s see how long we can keep these plants in good condition! I think we were out on our backyard patio hangout for eight hours yesterday enjoying company and a restful Sunday…..from brunch to dinner. It was such a good way to start the week that I think we will bring back Sunday Suppers starting now!

Here are a few things I added into our backyard patio to freshen it up for Spring…

 

Working with our blue and white runner, pillows, and patio set, I added in a bigger outdoor rug, a striped throw, some large planters, and of course, a bunch of plants and flowers. Depending on your region of the country, best patio plants for spring and summer will differ. I plan on keeping some of these outdoors until it no longer has any shade during the day, then I will haul them inside for scorching temps. Here is a guide we wrote last year for a good indoor and outdoor plant guide.

I love the way this little corner’s mood shifts from afternoon to evening. A place where we will surely solve all the world’s problems over coffee;)
