​backyard
​complete!

Ok there is actually a lot more want to do with the backyard, like where is the hammock? BUT for today our backyard is more then usable, its my favorite space to hang out!! 

We started with a neutral base for the majority of our large pieces adding our pops of color with items that can easily be changed out.

We wanted to create a number of different areas to hang out. The above sofa paired with these pink side chairs creates a more casual seating arrangement.

For privacy and softness we added curtains to the pergola. And believe me when I tell you we tried every color possible for our curtains! White was to bright, grey didn't go well with our brick color, beige blended in with the surrounds, and all the options in yellow were to bright. Ultimately we landed on this pale pink, for I think the perfect balance!

The final location is still being decided, but this bistro table is placed under our pergola for shade and for a more intimate seating space. Our picnic table provides seating for larger gatherings as well as a focal point
​or the end of the yard.

1. Outdoor sofa - We wanted a sofa that was clean, simple and made of wood. This sofa from Hayneedle fit our space perfectly. 
2. Seat cushions - the cushion color that came with the sofa didn't work with our overall color pallet so we purchased separate cushions from Target.
3. Lanterns - are added for additional soft lighting, IKEA
4. Planters - These IKEA planters are hung with planter hooks from Crate and Barrel, giving us the availability to change out the color of the annuals we plant in them ever year. NOTE: We had to drill holes in the bottom of these for the water to drain. And because of our weather climate you have to remove the soil and store them in the winter or the paint will chip. 
5. Side table - There are a lot of outdoor white tables but this one from Target was clean, simple, and had the best price for our budget, 
6. Bistro Table - we wanted different types of areas to sit. This table is great for a more intimate seating arrangement. - Hayneedle
7. Outdoor Throw Pillows - now for some color! - Target
8. Lanterns - Pink lanterns were purchased to carry the color through the space. The pink lanterns I purchased unfortunately aren't available anymore but Pier 1 as some great modern options. 
9. Side Chairs - My favorite purchase for our backyard are these pink chairs from Anthropologie. 
10. Outdoor curtains - outdoor curtains are added to soft the space and create additional privacy from the neighbors. - Target
11. Mosaic Tile - this will be used for a future project to carry some of the orange color through the space. - Amazon. 
12. Side Table -​ Another of my favorite purchases! Mostly because of the color. Unfortunately also not available anymore but Anthropologie has other great options for side tables.
13. Outdoor Throw Pillows - the easiest way to add more color! - Target
14. Vase - Target 
15. Outdoor plates - Pier 1
