Happy Saturday! I’m getting this weeks post up a day late as I’ve been trying to get a little bit of purging and packing done each night.
Since finding out we close on our new house in just 6 weeks, I’m dreaming off all the fun spaces to decorate. This week’s Friday Finds will focus on an area that only gets a few months of use if you live in Minnesota – the patio! With the weather warming up, I’m anxiously awaiting a space to spend evenings outside watching Ivy play in the yard and enjoying an adult cocktail, or enjoying family time around a fire, making s’mores. Summer nights are what we Minnesotans live for!

Hanging String Lights – For the past couple of years I’ve been pinning ideas on how to get these hanging string lights in our yard. I’m determined to make it happen at the new house. I just love the ambiance they provide!
Metal Pergola with Canopy – I love that this pergola has an option for shade if sitting in the sun is just too hot or too bright. I love the simplicity of this and it’s currently on sale for under $400 – pretty cheap for its size (10′ x 13′).
Don’t these outdoor pillows (black and striped) look so good together!? If you can’t tell, I’m loving the neutral color palette these days and these pillows fit right in with the rest of the aesthetic. I’m contemplating getting these for indoors too!
7-piece modular conversation set – You guys! This set has a 4-star rating and is under $700! I love that it’s modular so you can arrange it to best fit your space. I’ve seen quite a few people post about this set in some the home design Facebook groups I’m in and they all love it!
Gas fire pit – I grew up having friends over and sitting around a bonfire with my parents and their friends. As Ivy gets older, I’m looking forward to making some of these same types of memories with her. While a real fire pit is nice, I love the ability to turn this off when the night is over instead of worrying about smoldering ashes after heading to bed. It’s also nice to not have your clothes and body smell like bonfire for a day or two (though I don’t mind that smell every now and again 🤪)
4-piece chat set – Now I don’t think we need both a chat and conversation set (probably need an outdoor dining table set instead), but I love the simplicity of this set and it looks so good with the coordinating oversized black-and-white striped umbrella!
