As soon as March 15 hits, I know Spring is right around the corner, and sunny days are ahead. With the summer season upon us, I’m itching to spruce up my patio with some new affordable outdoor furniture and decor. There are a few projects I’d like to tackle in the backyard, and I wish I could say the deck was it,[...]
Adding an outdoor rug is one of the easiest ways to elevate the design of your patio decor. It will define your space and tie everything together. While decorating my patio this spring, I stumbled over Ruggable's rugs and was amazed at all the colors and fun patterns they've recently added. Last week I rounded up my favorite outdoor pati[...]
Today's round-up is all about the best outdoor patio furniture and where you can buy it online. I'm sharing everything from high-end luxury to affordable outdoor furniture to the most comfortable patio chair and everything in between.

If you've been watching my Instagram, then you've already seen sneak peeks and some smack-talking to my Design Off challenger Jojotastic (aka Joanna). She and I are in this knockdown drag-out fight...errr, ya no, it's really more like a friendly little before[...]
