Monday Musings: The Perfect Outdoor Patio

Happy Memorial Day Love Muffins! (Clearly I have been watching too many reruns of "Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding." Shameful.) Are we all having a lovely long weekend? Are we enjoying being outdoors? I hope everyone's weather is cooperating for outdoor activities. I will tell you this much, the humidity here kills a girl's do. It's narsty. Let's get down to the biz. As you all know, we moved into a house recently. I swear, every hour on the hour, I am thinking of new items that we never had to buy before having a house. What might you ask? Well at the tip top of my list is outdoor patio furniture. Now. Let's get one thing straight. I am cheap. I am. So sadly enough, we will not be forming a lovely outdoor space until the end of Summer when everything has been marked down to 75% off. Class. Sass.

I am not going to let that small little detail deter me from dreaming big though. Dreaming of the perfect outdoor patio. The perfect outdoor patio consists of a few key items in my book: Comfy/stylish seating, pops of bold color/pattern, playful lighting, a fun and functional rug, and last but not least a bar cart. Taaaaa daaaaaa. Look at all of the amazing outdoor spaces I have compiled that fit the bill.

Are we in love? For serious. I am soooo in love. Unfortunately I will have to cool my jets until I make all of this a reality. But until then, here is my perfect outdoor patio. To dream the impossible dream.

Get the Look: 1./2./3./4./5./6./7./8.

So what is on your must have list for the perfect patio?? If you are already twerkin' the perfect patio, send pictures my way. I am jealous and dying to see what you're working with. Loves!
