How to Refresh Your Outdoor Living Space with Amazon
As warmer weather approaches, many of us are eager to spend more time outdoors. I am personally counting down the days to when I can enjoy a cup of coffee on my screened-in porch without being wrapped in a blanket!! One of my favorite ways to prepare for summer is to do a little outdoor living space refresh. I like swapping out pillows, adding a cute rug, enjoying my string lights, and ensuring the grill is ready to be fired up. This way, when Memorial Day rolls around, we are prepared to entertain and enjoy the summer. Here are a few outdoor living finds that will have you ready to enjoy your outdoor space!!
How to Refresh Your Outdoor Living Space
Outdoor Pillows
Add pillows if you are looking for the simplest way to give a space an instant refresh. Pillows add a pop of color that immediately transforms any outdoor space. You can swap out the pillows all summer long, red, white and blue for the holidays, blues, pinks, and patterns.
Outdoor/Indoor Area Rug
By adding a rug to your outdoor space, it can instantly transform it. While I love color, this neutral indoor/outdoor rug adds a bit of warmth to the space without being too overwhelming. The best part is, if there is a spill, simply hose it down!!
Outdoor String Lights
Let there be light; string lights are one of my favorite ways to upgrade any outdoor space. Simply string them up, and you are instantly transported to an outdoor oasis. We recently put up these on our porch, and they look fabulous.
Mosquito Repeller
This device is pure magic! With just one push of a button, you have instant protection of 15 feet from mosquitos. You can finally enjoy dining outside without having to spray yourself head to toe with bug spray.
Welcome Mat
Whether you come in from working in the garden, grilling, or playing in the backyard, having a welcome mat is a must at any doorway. I love that you can customize this one with an initial.
Waterproof Outdoor Pillow Inserts
I have finally found the perfect outdoor pillow inserts! Even though most of our pillows are covered in our screened-in porch, that morning dew can often cause a bit of mildew. These new pillow inserters are waterproof, so that solves that problem!
Rechargeable Lamp
Whether you are enjoying dinner outside, sitting by the fire pit, or grilling after dark, these little lamps come in handy! I love that they have different light settings, from dim to bright, so they can provide just that extra light when needed. An added plus is how cute they look on a tablescape and come in tons of colors.
Melamine Plates
When entertaining outdoors, I try and always use anything but glass to be on the safe side. These melamine plates are the perfect solution, plus they are super cute.
Planters
Pop this planter on your porch and fill it with your favorite greens or blooms. The lattice detailing on the side adds just the perfect element of elegance.
Herb Pots
Fresh herbs are great any time, especially during the warmer months. There is something about fresh vs. dried herbs that brightens just up a recipe. These adorable pots are the perfect spot to plant your herbs to enjoy all summer long. They also make a fabulous centerpiece for entertaining outdoors.

2 Corinthians 9:6

Our weather’s been so crummy that I haven’t even thought about our outdoor space. Tania, you’ve inspired me to get some shopping done!
You always have the best stuff and ideas. There is so much I did not know I needed until you. Thank you so much.

Great ideas! I’m looking into several of them, especially the Mosquito Repeller, the pillow inserts, and the welcome mats.
So many great ideas! I have the Mosquito Repeller on my list! Thanks so much Tania!
I love the striped placemats, water hyacinth mats, and pillow covers… they are in my cart… along with the lights and poles from last week! And ps, I am a Sonic drink lover as well! My favorite is cherry limeade (in the huge cup, of course Hahaha)! I will definitely give a try to your flavor; sounds yummy!
Hey, Tania! Sonic sells regular size bags of their ice… at least they do here in Kentucky. I get them all the time, especially for parties or get togethers. They are only $3 for a big bag like you’d get in the store – probably about 8-10 pounds. Check it out!
I asked them yesterday when I was at Sonic, and they said it was 20-something dollars for a 10-pound bag. I thought that sounded pretty high.
I’d ask someone else… I don’t think that person knew what they were talking about. It’s even on their menu board here, so check that too. Nothing like Sonic Ice! We’ve been buying it there for years.
Maybe they said 2 or 3 dollars, not 23… just a guess.
Beautiful suggestions. I wish I could find that table shown with the rug.
We don’t have a Sonic in our local area. I think the closest is about 50 miles. I’ve never heard of the sonic ice. Lol. I will have to try some drink from there next time I see one. I like the idea of putting the indoor/outdoor rug on the deck, but wonder how to take care of them when we get rain. In the Pacific Northwest we do have very warm, sunny days in the summer, but we also get a fair amount of rain. I worry that they would mildew.
The rugs are built for weather, and when they get dirty, you just hose them off. I have also taken a pressure washer to mine in the past, but be careful not to apply too much pressure since it can damage the threads.
what brand do you use for the cranberry/vanilla flavoring?
It is from Sonic, so whatever they use.
