Create an outdoor space you never want to leave. #ad 

After a long winter, @veradek helped me bring our patio back to life with planters and storage that are just as functional as they are beautiful. 

Unlike my old clay planters, these are weather-resistant and durable enough to stay outside year-round. The double-walled design helps insulate roots, and the built-in drainage holes with removable plugs make planting easy. 

Inspired by a recent trip, I added two long planters filled with hydrangeas beside our fireplace for a simple, timeless look that instantly made the space feel more finished and inviting.

Did you know you can make weathered teak furniture look new again without sanding?

This outdoor dining set is over 10 years old and after nearly 4 years without a deep clean, it had turned gray and dull from the elements. A little cleaning and oil brought the rich wood tones right back.

One of my favorite things about teak is that it ages beautifully but when you’re ready for a refresh, the transformation is so satisfying.

Comment CLEAN and I’ll send you the exact cleaner, oil, and step-by-step tutorial I used. 

And if you love practical outdoor living ideas, follow along for more simple ways to make your home feel beautiful and lived-in. I’ll be refreshing the other side of our patio next. 

*Always properly dispose of oily rags according to manufacturer instructions to prevent fire hazards.

They just keep getting bigger and taller 😍!

This is from last year. The blooms are still a few weeks away, but I'll share this year's update as soon as they start flowering.

Five years ago they were tiny. Now they're one of my favorite parts of our home.
