Good morning! We are getting settled in our new house. (You can see a final tour of our last house here). I spent the first couple of days unpacking and getting organized and then have had so much fun getting started on projects. I am hoping to share a few little sneak peeks this coming week. Our floors are getting redone the first week in August, so once they are finished I will be sharing lots and lots more. I’m trying to get most of the painting done before the floors are redone so I’ve been so focused on that and other projects like that that I haven’t stopped much to take photos or work on blog posts but will definitely be doing that once I finish painting.

To start with today though, I am so excited to share our new patio with you. We have so missed having an outdoor entertaining area and have already gotten so much use out of this space in the less than two weeks we have been here. The girls had friends over and were making s’mores within an hour of the fire pit arriving last week and we have already eaten several dinners out here as well.

We partnered with Walmart on this space and are thrilled with all of the options they offer to help create your own little backyard retreat! Walmart Home has so many styles to choose from so you can get the exact look you want. These egg chairs are exclusive to Walmart and are so much fun. The girls love them! Eventually I plan on making a little seating area over off to the side of the house a bit more and moving them down there and putting a long outdoor sofa where the chairs are but for right now these work great here.

We have never had a gas fire pit before and I went back and forth between a more traditional one and this gas one that has a more modern feel. I finally decided to go with this one and we have been thrilled with it so far!

This teak table was the exact size I was looking for and was so easy to put together. I also liked how it looked paired with the egg chairs. And for the dining chairs I knew I wanted this style bistro chair and was thrilled when I saw these outdoor ones on Walmart’s website. They were the exact look I was going for!

We got these dishes a few months ago and they have quickly become our favorites. They have such a mix of whimsy and elegance to them and they have become my go-to dishes! They are part of Walmart’s Wow and Now section! And the cake stand was a favorite Walmart find from a few years ago.

The candle sticks were also from Walmart a couple of years ago.

I hung the string lights using command hooks although I may try to come up with something a bit more secure at some point.

I can’t wait to replace those little sconces. Thinking maybe something like this.

 

 

 

Here it is as it was getting darker:

Be sure to check out Walmart’s summer lookbook for so many great summer options for your home!

And here is a little peek at our guest room. I still have quite a bit of work in I want to do in here like paint the walls or add a wall treatment and then probably add some wallpaper but for now was quickly trying to get it put together so we could have guests visit! It’s been so long since we’ve had any guests stay and we are excited to start hosting again!

We got this great bed frame from Walmart and added these velvet pom pom pillows and this pretty lumbar pillow. I love the texture of the lumbar pillow!

And then over here we added this pretty mirror:
