Outdoor living and dining room are complete โœจ๐Ÿค— Iโ€™ve been dreaming of a deck like this my entire marriage. Iโ€™m so excited to be able to host family and friends in this space. The key to creating a welcoming atmosphere without a ton of maintenance is investing in quality outdoor furniture that will stand up to the elements. As well as adding in a mixture of faux plants that donโ€™t need to be toiled over in the summer heat, and look beautiful all the time. I only have a couple of potted plants on the deck that will need any maintenance and the rest are going to be perfectly green all year around. The solar lights along the rail come on automatically at dusk, but can also be operated with a remote to your needs. I love the cozy glow that they add! The sofa and chairs come with their own covers, which is perfect to keep the cushions nice and clean on dusty or pollen filled days, as well as when it rains. I like to create spaces that I can enjoy rather than constantly have to work to keep up with. I canโ€™t wait to make this space our favorite family gathering spot! Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link to shop this post on my LTK โฌ‡. You must be following me for this feature to work. Outdoor dining made so simple with melamine dinnerware, textured serving baskets, and unbreakable glasses. They go perfectly with my new POLYWOOD outdoor dining set. https://liketk.it/5ctjE #ltkhome #ltkfindsunder50 #ltkfindsunder100
Hydrangeas steal the show in zone six gardening. T Hydrangeas steal the show in zone six gardening. There are so many varieties and continued improvements upon old varieties every year. While limelight are still the star of the show and often tower up to 12 feet tall, they now have varieties like prime limelight, little lime, and Bobo hydrangeas that all give a similar look in a smaller scale. And even though my prized Annabelle hydrangeas from our last house were my pride and enjoy every spring, in our new home Iโ€™m replacing them with Incrediballs for sturdier stems in a similar look on our front bed. If you havenโ€™t yet pruned, take care to see if you have new growth already coming up. Before new leaves form I always cut my Annabelleโ€™s or Incrediballs almost to the ground. However, my limelight and similar varieties. I take back the top third to keep them in control. Other varieties of hydrangeas need different type of pruning as flowers can come from old growth. However, itโ€™s not too late to fertilize! I use Hollytone. It has done so well for me. Comment SHOP and I will send you where my fertilizer is on sale! (You must by following me for this feature to work.) But the biggest tip to get this beautiful hydrangea display is that it will take time. The majority of these plants are at least six years old, with the large Annabelle berm being closer to 10 years. Even though it will take time to see this kind of fullness, each year brings new life, and simple pleasures to enjoy as you watch your hydrangeas grow. My favorite fertilizer for my hydrangea garden! ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ Comment SHOP below to receive a DM with the link to shop this post on my LTK โฌ‡ https://liketk.it/5chRv #ltkhome #ltkfindsunder50 #ltkseasonal #hydrangeas #hydrangealove #hydrangeatips
New tradition: the No Reason Night Out.ย  I found New tradition: the No Reason Night Out.ย  I found myself reserving eating outdoors for big hosting events or elaborate meals. This is the year I reclaim the joy and simplicity of nights out on the deck.ย โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿชด And ironically, itโ€™s taken 19 years of marriage to finally have a full outdoor dining set to use. I cannot wait to make this a weekly (if not daily) tradition with our new POLYWOOD Lakeside 7-Pieceย Farmhouseย Diningย Set in the color Teak. #ad @POLYWOOD is made of recycled plastics right here in the USA and comes with a 20 year warranty and ColorStayโ„ขย technology to prevent fading. It delivers for free to the contiguous US states, and is also made in the USA!ย Itย only took my 14 year old a little over an hour to assemble solo.ย  Comment POLYWOOD and Iโ€™ll send you links toย the spring sale which includes the dining set and umbrella.ย ๐Ÿ˜ Who else is in for the new tradition of no reason nights out?ย  ย  #POLYWOOD #outdoordining #deckfurniture #outdoorfurniture
Why buy four when you can buy one? ๐Ÿ˜‰๐ŸŒฟ Iโ€™m Why buy four when you can buy one? ๐Ÿ˜‰๐ŸŒฟ Iโ€™m using Boston ferns but so many other plants can do the same! If itโ€™s big enough, divide away. What other plants do you do this with? #gardentips #plants #ferns #gardening
