Designing and creating on a simple budget.

Bloggers Patio Party – Zevy Joy

July 6, 2016 our home, Uncategorized

Hello friends and welcome today to the Bloggers Patio Party! I am so happy to have those of you joining me from Kathleen over at Lindsay Hill Interiors, who is also our host for this fun tour! I know you will all enjoy this lovely tour and make sure to visit all these talented friends who are also sharing their beautiful patios today.

Backyard Patio Party - Final Graphic

This tour was just the motivation needed to do a little work on our sweet and tiny patio. I knew it would be a stretch with budgets, but I also knew that doesn’t mean it was impossible.

BloggerPatioParty30

So I began to map out my plan and worked the design around the floors. The patio floor we created here was inspired by Brook at Nesting With Grace. She has the most beautiful home and I just LOVE her kitchen floor tiles. Her style is so very inspiring and if you haven’t already you should go and see for yourself. I thought it would be fun to have a dynamic shaped pattern on our floors and was aware that tiling during this season just wasn’t going to happen. So I quickly decided that stenciling the floor would be an excellent compromise =).

(Market Basket from Vivi Et Margot)

There are many wonderful stencils out there and I ended up purchasing this one from Cutting Edge Stencils. Needless to say, it transformed this space with a little paint and we couldn’t be happier.

BloggerPatioParty28

Next week I will be sharing the step by step for this project so please stay tuned…

BloggerPatioParty26

We also had a hand me down patio set that we needed to use at least another year. So off to Ikea we went for replacement cushions!

BloggerPatioParty32

We found some inexpensive cushions that we used for both seat bottoms and tops. I split the patio set up to seat four and used the end chairs and accent chairs against the window.

BloggerPatioParty24

Flowers are still blooming during these summer months, but some spots have not bloomed quite yet. Therefore, I filled in the space with flowers I had on hand (both faux and real).

BloggerPatioParty25

I really enjoy a simple table when hosting dinners and wanted this one to be just that – simple!

BloggerPatioParty18

(Sharon Striped Throw is from Birch Lane)

I used casual elements to set the table and several blankets to increase the cozy feature. I even found this lamp shade while thrifting that I hung as a light feature; it felt coastal and rustic all the same. Thrifting or repurposing pieces is such a great way to complete a space (as seen here)

BloggerPatioParty15

You can see our little square foot garden around the corner here too…

BloggerPatioParty14

The stencil really pops with all the oil rubbed bronzed furniture and vintage fire pit that we turned into coffee table.

BloggerPatioParty9

I layered the dining table with food, a very simple meal that would be perfect for any summer menu.

BloggerPatioParty13

I set out fruit, cheese and some bread to build your own bruschetta and baguette bites and more!

BloggerPatioParty10

Honey, blueberries and almonds line the table.

BloggerPatioParty12

The intent was to create a welcoming atmosphere using most of what we already had.

BloggerPatioParty8

Overall I would say it is a success!

BloggerPatioParty5

I really enjoyed this tour because it encouraged us to get some work done and I always enjoy sharing our home with you all to visit during these tours. You can find our home here, here and here.

Here is a peek at the space as the sun sets and all those lights really twinkle…

    LOVE IT!! Have painted my patio and tried stenciling it but paint bled. I used patio paint that was kind of thick. Maybe that why. What paint did you use?

This could be a project that would be easily done with inexpensive pieces and makes a big impact for your outdoor space.

I am talking about how we use drawers, but try to keep things pretty/functional at the same time... Come check it out and see how we think outside the box when it comes to this space! One of my new favorite tips comes from these 100% Cotton Turkish towels we were gifted from @theloomia! Not only are they pretty, they are large, but save space at the same time... You’ll have to go see what I mean in my stories, see you there! And @theloomia is offering 15% off when you use the code - Zevyjoy15 💕

I only wish real size home DIY’s were as simple as popsicle sticks and wood glue 😂! Come see what I mean on stories... But I did grab some fresh flowers for the yard and shared how I simply decorate for this favorite season of mine, summer ☀️ . It’s all up on the blog and I am joining my friends too so come say hello 💕
I listened to your votes in stories and this old t I listened to your votes in stories and this old thrifted mirror got a few coats of “Play it Cool” (the color I had on hand from our kitchen cabinets 😉). And this hallway is finally done 🎉! Here is a little before and after... The board and batten design is from @anitayokota after I saw how she used it in her pretty bedroom I knew this would put a fun modern spin in the hallway. Some fresh paint, an affordable vintage rug and updated lighting completed this long dark space. Covering popcorn ceilings will come next, but I hope this shows how a little trim and paint go a long way when working on spaces! 🌿
This past week was a time to listen and prayerfully learn. My eyes were opened and my heart convicted to speak up and to do better... While I begin to share my content here, I will strive to move forward for change and find ways to support black lives here and at home.
Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawils Please refer to @blackandembodied and @jessicawilson.msrd for more about this movement. My feed will be muted here as I listen and learn. I will be in stories sharing resources that support black lives. #amplifymelanatedvoices

We both walked out dressed sorta matching this morning 😂 This girl knows what she likes and asked to have her pink room transformed with blue... And you know when you give a mouse a cookie... 🍪 (Clearly I am the mouse 🐭 in this story 🤣) We finished up the new bead-board wall (I have trim touch up to do still) and then we are finishing spraying her little desk this afternoon. A couple vintage pieces are on the way, but otherwise I have been shopping the house for this little makeover. It’s all still in progress, but getting closer! And you all... This room is small!! So I am going to share how we tackle storage in this space so stay tuned in stories... 💕

Now as I have made our own home, I almost always use the rule of 3’s whenever I am decorating. That goes for coffee tables, nightstands and more... I’m talking all about it and showing you some examples in stories today! And even more fun is that @boutiquerugs is offering 60% off with the code - ZEVYJOY60 ! This is the new rug we added from their collection to our bedroom here! So enjoy and have fun looking around at all their pretty selections... #boutiquerugspartner
You all know how I feel about pillows by now, don’t you?! 😂 Well in case you don’t... I think they are the best! They pull a space together affordably and make things cozy of course! You can trade them out or just keep adding to them (which is what I like to do 😉). And let’s face it, you can never have too many... Am I right? They are your artistic canvas in home decor and in my opinion there aren’t many rules to follow in the fun of mixing and matching them either! 🌿
Best of all, I’ve teamed up with 7 talented accounts to share how we used pillows to style our spaces. Head on over and check out what they’ve done... @thegingerhome
