In the south we still have plenty of summer weather left. So, I figured it wasn’t too late to post a summer patio idea.
My bf is in the military, so he moves a lot. Sometimes I move with him, sometimes I have to stay behind for a while and cannot move until later. Anyway, last year we were living in TX, right outside of Austin. My bf bought a townhome with a very large front patio overlooking the driveway. Even though we move almost every year, It’s important for me to put effort into each place to truly make it feel like home.
I thought, perfect! I can’t wait to get my hands on this patio! little did I know, he had very specific plans for it. But of course, after about six months and nothing being done to the patio, he finally agreed to let me do it for him. His style is very modern, and sleek, mostly white and grey which I love too but I also love a good pop of color. I feel I was successful incorporating both of our styles for this one.

Plants
For the plants I got Yukkas, Ive just always loved the way they look. A hibiscus, it brings me back to when we lived in Hawaii years ago, and cacti, because Texas!
The plants and planters are from Ikea

It’s hard for me to feel cozy in the hot summer. But being able to enjoy this outdoor space when it cooled off at night really gave me cozy vibes.
