Good morning, friends!
Thank you all for your kind comments regarding our trip–we are home and getting back in the swing of things now. I’ll share more on that soon, but I had to pop in today to show you some things I worked on yesterday.
Here is our back patio. It’s a lovely spot, but we’ve never found much time to decorate it. Until recently, this porch was covered in toys and random kid stuff. We finally got around to cleaning it, and that’s when my creative juices started flowing…it was time to spruce up the area.
When I got an email from Kirkland’s, I knew it was the perfect time for a shopping trip to update our patio.
We’re not finished yet, but we came a long way baby yesterday. I stopped in at Kirkland’s last weekend to pick up some outdoor accents to compliment our existing furniture.
Isn’t it so much fresher?? I absolutely love the herb pots (my favorite purchase that day) holding some kitchen herbs–lavender, spicy basil, stevia, and dill. After seeing how beautiful and functional the pots are hanging on our wall, I may have to pick up a few more at Kirkland’s.
Plus, I love any little pot complete with chalkboard label.
I picked up these cushions at Lowes last week, as ours were about 5 years overdue a tossing.
I’m also in love with all the glass accents I picked up at Kirkland’s–I’ve always been drawn to hourglasses and I all but ran to snag this one. The luminary lanterns are gorgeous, too. I picked up 3 of those and filled them with corks.
You guys know I’m a sucker for baskets, so I was thrilled to pick up this beauty to use as a centerpiece.
While we’re not finished updating the patio yet, the difference is truly amazing.
Especially since it took all of an hour and a half to pull together.
I’ve got some great news for you guys, too! Kirkland’s is giving one of our lucky readers a $150 Gift Card today!
To enter to win the giveaway (closing Saturday at midnight), simply leave a comment on the post telling us what you like about our patio updates or what you would use the gift card for!
P.S. For an extra entry, share this giveaway on Facebook, Twitter, or your blog–leave yourself a separate comment for each!
Good luck and here’s to a happy, outdoors-y kind of summer!

I love the pop of color that the chair pads add. Then the pillow that is in the chair is great too it all just comes alive. I had not seen pots with chalk before. These are great and useful for many different uses or sending messages.
I love the green chair cushions and the little white shabby side table. Thanks for entering me!
I love the green cushions and the glass accents and the herb baskets…ok everything..lol
I need a patio update sooo bad!
I love the color of the cushions. They look so fresh and updated!
Love the new look! The green cushions are so refreshing and I love the pop that the bright pink flowers add! And of course, the herb pots are so awesome!!! I see a trip to Kirklands in the near future for me!!
Pretty green touches on your back porch! I’m updating our lake house and would use the card for decor! Yay!
Thank you for hosting this amazing giveaway! Woo hoo, just in time for summer. I would spruce up my screened porch with some new planter, glass items and a lamp. Fingers crossed!
Sharing this on Facebook but I hope I win!
I love your planters and glass items! Your patio looks amazing with the new cushions too. I’m positing this to my Facebook page now. Thanks for hosting this great giveaway!
The color scheme is adorable! I would love to update our patio table set with new cushions. Ours have seen better days.

Sign me up to win please !!!
Without a doubt its the the herb pots…..love love love. I also would like to update out patio……its in some serious need of some TLC!!
I love the comfortable feeling the porch showcases. It seems to say welcome, come have a seat, let’s talk and catch up.
I would use the gift card to purchase items for our new home. My husband recently completed a teachers masters program, he just finished his first year of teaching high school science. Our youngest graduates from high school next weekend, he has enlisted in the Navy. So we are moving closer to my husband’s job and downsizing. His commute will go from 45 minutes to 7 minutes. Mine will increase, but that is ok. Enough of my ramblings. The house we intend to purchase has an outdoor deck and sun room that I want to create that warm, welcome, come have a seat feeling.
I love that particular color green- it’s one of my favorite colors. I like the little herb pots, too, but I have the un-greenest thumb on the planet. I’m moving in 2 weeks, so I would put the gift card to very good use personalizing and warming up the new place..
Love the color of the cushions and LOVE the little pots on the wall. I have a huge deck but it definitely needs to be spruced up with some color and decor. I could use the gift card for literally anything….love Kirkland’s!
The space looks great with all the pops of color you added. I love the new pillows and chair pads. The basket and lanterns look great on the table. I would enjoy heading to Kirkland’s and looking for some new items to use on our deck.
I enjoy Kirkland’s because you never know what treasures you will find!!
I have been looking for lanterns for my porch and LOVE your luminary lanterns. I would have to get a grouping of those if I win. I also love your wooden bucket that has the pink flowers in it. Did that come from Kirklands too? Love that!
I would love to have the herb pots and the glass containers. Thank you!
I love all the glass accents. It makes your outdoor space look more like your at the beach or a tropical place. We just moved into our new home and the patio has been last on our spaces to decorate list. I would love the glass accents and spice buckets if I were to win the gift card.
I love the herb pots as well! If I won, I’d use the gift card to sprung up my outdoor space!
I love what you did! Thanks for sharing!
Such a great…and quick makeover!!! JEALOUS….our patio looks a MESS always — sooooooo wish a little makeover like this would help!
With your inspiration a gift card could WELL get us on our way to something fabulous like yours…our patio potential I JUST KNOW IT!!
We have a new Kirklands in our area. I’ve never been, just went to their website and am amazed at the variety and abundance of beautiful items for the home !! Id’ be fun getting lost in this store, especially armed with a gift card !! Love your color choice for cushions -Pam
I think I would love to run right out and get the glass accessories too! I love those and the way you put corks in them…how cute. And as you and your honey sit on the porch and enjoy a glass of wine…or two you can continue to place more corks in them:)
I LOVE the herb buckets…i would totally use those!
I adore the herb pots!!! Thanks for the fun giveaway!
I love the new green cushions on your patio furniture. Looks like a great place to relax. Love it!!
Love the green cushions. Also love the white accent table and everything on it
. Our cushions just got tossed too. Everything looks lovely….great place to read a book and let the breeze blow away.
Love your patio–especially the green chair cushions–great color!! We need everything for our patio–this give away is so great…
I love the color of the cushions. So fresh!!!
Oh, our patio is so, so plain. I could go to town with a gift card!
I think the whole update is fabulous! I would have never thought to put the herb pots on the wall like that! I love the hourglass too! I would use the gift to update my front deck. Very boring right now. Thanks!
OOOOO I LOVE love love love decorating my front porch and my back deck so I love everything you did. I do particularly like the green though. Very pretty.
I’m finishing up my new back deck and have the furniture and the FLOWERS (excessive- I totally have a problem) so this giveaway would be perfect for me to put on those finishing touches it needs desperately!
thanks for the chance.
I love all your cute Kirklands purchases. Our enclosed front porch could use an update and I’m sure I could find all kinds of treasures at Kirklands:)
Love all the green you have on your patio! The herb pots are my favorite. I would love to get a new cushion(s) for my outside bench!
I love the white painted table with the potted flowers on it. It adds a touch of patina to the look.
Oh, those herb pots. Those are to die for. So cute!
I Love, Love, Love the herb pots on the wall!! And the glassware gets me verytime! Beautiful transformation of your outdoor space! P.S. I also love the rustic painted table, that is my favorite piece!
LOVE the patio update. I’m currently working on mine, not nearly as crafty as you, but those herb pots REALLY caught my eye and could definitely be put to use in my space as well!
I’m debating on whether to paint my teak rockers (which are weathered) or try to re-stain them. Ohhh the decisions!
Thanks for sharing!
I just love the freshness the green cushions give your patio. This year, I am just in love with that shade of green.
Hands down, I would say the way you transformed an otherwise dull patio has my wheels turning at full speed! The groovy green cushions paired with fresh accent pieces really makes a world of difference. My favorite would have to be the jar filled with corks. So glad there is a kirklands in my area
I like the hanging pots!
I love the crisp green and white.
Love the green cushions!! They look so fresh and inviting. The herb pots are adorable too!
I tweeted about the giveaway!

I would love some new outdoor decor! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

I would use the giftcard for some updates to my outdoor/deck area!
Love the herb pots- had them in my hands a few weeks
Back at Kirkland but wasn’t sure
What to do with them- going back and praying they still have them!
LOVE the cushions!
I’d get an outdoor bench. We have NO outdoor seating. None. zip. zilch. nada. No joke. We sit on a picnic blanket….
Those green cushions! Talk about a pop of gorgeous color to make a space stand out!
I love those new green cushions.
Our back patio needs EVERYTHING new. It’s just a jumble of future projects at the moment, not exactly the relaxing backyard retreat!
Oh! What fun! After seeing what you did I think I would re-do my screen porch. This year I did not get any of my old porch decorations out because when I saw them in early spring they just were not doing it for me anymore. I think they went and got old over the winter. I LOVE those chalk pots so I’d definitely get a few of those.
Oh I love those herb pots. Soooo fun. I have the perfect spot for them on my patio.
I LOVE the bucket the pink flowers are in!!
I think the cushions make the biggest difference to your patio. I also love all the items you got from Kirland’s. Great changes!
I love your herb pots! I would spruce up our back patio with new cushions for the chairs!
What I love most about your new decor is the Lowes chair pads- I love the color green. However if I won the gift card I would snag me one of those hour glasses. It is a beaut! Oh and those planters, they are amazing-loving the chalk board on ‘em. Thank you for the giveaway.
I love the bright colors and the pots! Just bought two garden benches from Kirkland’s for my front porch… love them!
Love, Love, Love the green cushions! That is my favorite color. My friends call it “Maria Green”.
The herb hanging pots are creative and useful and really add a fun element to the space. The whole area looks inviting and warm.
Love the green cushions!
I love the update. It didn’t take that much to make a huge impact. I just moved last Sunday 5/27. I was looking for ways to make my new outdoor space comfortable. Love your patio!! My style is like Dearlillie. I don’t use much color. But outside seems to need a little something.. Thanks!! I love Kirklands!
I LOVE the herb pots. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Hi, Shaunna. I love what you guys did with your patio! We don’t have a patio, but a deck that my husband, 3 yo daughter, and I built last Memorial Day. It’s been a year now, and the only thing all that “beautiful” aside from the deck itself are the herbs and potted plants that are positioned around bench seats we built in. I would love some decor items like your curvy glass pieces and bright green cushions to spruce up the beautiful deck and hum-drum furniture. Love your blog! Thanks!
I would definitely buy the her pots and some glassware!
Thanks.
Your patio is looking FAB! I am especially loving those cute little herb pots!
your decor for the patio is so refreshing and looks so inviting. glad to see how you put it all together with items from KIRKLAND’S, Lowe’s, and your own home…
The main thing I love about your patio is the glass accents. I have been in search of the perfect glass accents and haven’t found any untill you posted about this. I love the herb pots with the chalkboard above it. Every little thing you add to your home is always so cute and has such a “homey” feeling. Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!
I love all of it, but if I had to pick one thing, it would be the luminary lanterns…and the herb pots…and the green cushions…and the white table…oh well, I just love it all!
I love the green…green cusions, green plants. I’d use the gift card to update our patio! Thanks
Your patio looks like a place I would want to relax with a big glass of sweet tea! If I win the Lowes gift card…I could really use some cushions for my patio furniture as well. Enjoy your summer!
CHERYL
I love the herb planters. I have been looking for some for the kitchen. The green cushions are gorgeous too.
Love the cushions! They add just the perfect pop of color to your patio.
If I won, I think I would spruce up my deck.
Thanks for the Giveaway.
I LOVE the bright green cushions you added – looks so fresh with the brown accents like the basket and of course the herb pots…so inspiring!
Your patio looks fantastic. I would love some of the glassware too. It looks great anywhere. Lori Lucas
My favorite are the herb pots and luminary lanterns! I really like that basket too. I have a Kirkland’s less than 5 miles away!!!
Welcome home! I love the green color of the cushions! I’m on the hunt for a patio set now because we’re moving next week into an old farmhouse with a beautiful stone patio out back.
I love the little flower pots and the basket on the table!
Love the green cushions! One of my favorite colors! The patio is beautiful!
I love your green cushions and how put together everything looks. Our Kirklands just opened up a new store and I have yet to go in there. Since we are moving (tomorrow) I would use the gift card to personalize my new home. Congrats on your beautiful patio!
Our patio is a blank slate! I love the green with the metal chairs.
Welcome home. Love the white shabby table.
I love the green cushions! I just might be drooling over them…
I love all the glass accents and the outdoor furniture. I would definitely love to update our patio at kirklands!!
Wowzer! Love the cushions. The space is really awake now. Go out and enjoy it!
yessireebob, the patio is shaping up
; I love the herb pots; That is at the top of my to-do list !!
thanks so much for the chance
shared giveaway on FB – woo hoo!
I adore the planters, glass items, and especially the basket! I’ve never been to a Kirklands, I think it would be so exciting to have reason to explore a new one! If I won I think I would get a herb garden going, some outdoor lighting, and tabletop accents!!
I’m loving those hanging pots and the hourglass, those would have definitely come home with me as well! Thanks for the giveaway chance!
Love the colors!!! GREAT giveaway
Love the new combined with the old- I am finding that is my style too!
I love your porch update! The green cushios and herbs & flowers add just the right touch!! Thanks, Kathy kradams54@hotmail
i love everything Kirklands!!
I just love the combination of different natural elements – the white wood planter, the metal herb pots, the glass bottles and table, the wicker basket… add fabric in it and you’ve got the perfect space! Your patio is looking wonderful! You are such an inspiration.
We are about to start updating our master bedroom/bathroom (always the last space to complete!) and Kirkland’s would be invaluable to that process! Take care!
I love the cushions. Such a great pop of color. I also love Kirkland’s. I was just there on Monday and picked up some cute little end tables. Great place to shop for any reason.
I love the herb pots and they would look beautiful with my fresh herbs and silver spoon herb markers in them. Your color scheme is so refreshing.
I’d totally get me some of those pots hanging on the wall! I love the green that you’ve chosen too. It reminds me of the color green that is used in the Dr. Seuss books, which I’ve been loathing over for quite some time (crazy how I relate decorating to Dr. Seuss books, I know…kids do that to you:) ) Beautiful patio!
Oh man, love those herb pots, and the hourglass. Would love the gift card to buy those things! Your patio looks beautiful!
LOVE IT ALL! so refreshing! The Green is amazing! Really brightens up the space.
I love the green cushions and if I win I would purchase thosr for my daughters porch. Thanks for the chance!!
I have been looking at lamps at Kirklands and would probably spend the $$$ on those. Great contest!!
renee
Holy heck on a stick!!!! I love all of it, dang it. I’m digging on the juicy green cushsions oh-so-very-much. I’m absolutely, positively ga-ga for the chalkboard pots and labels hanging from the walls. What a brilliant way to hang herbs. Gorg-gorg-gorg!!! Could I be any more enthusiastic?! I am so inspired right now. I need some patio-love from Kirkland to spruce up my front porch. It’s looking absymmal (especially since that’s where I paint and I have a several gallons of paint and splotches of whoopsies on the steps where I dribbed paint.)
Just left a link to this giveaway post on my blog. http://euphemeral.blogspot.com/2012/05/give-away-alert-and-store-updates-this.html
I LOVE, LOVE those herb pots! My MIL just gave me some herbs for Mother’s Day and I’ve been beside myself at where to put them! And I love how the chalkboard allows you to change up the herbs!
I LOVE the luminaries…perfect for an evening dinner outside!
I love the chair cushions and pillows! The bold prints look great together and really give the update impact!
I love your new cushions – that is exactly what I need for our deck, to breathe new life into our table and chairs. Your patio area is so pretty and looks fantastic with the new additions!
Fabulous Patio! Love the giveaway!
Adore the hanging baskets, pops of color, and the glass accents. Kirkland’s is good about offering such a vast variety of goods for any decor!
i love your new chair cushions!
I LOVE the combinations…but those green cushions…yummy!
I sooo need those on my patio. Thanks for the update and a chance to win. Yea!
Love, love, love the green cushions. Such a great color for the outdoors.
Love the herb pots & bright colors.
We got all new patio furniture last year so now, I need that gift card to put my personal touch with little things to decorate…and plenty of pillows.
I moved into my new place less than 3 months ago, so I have a long list of needs and wants for my patio – starting with a patio umbrella!
I love the green cushions and the wall planters but my two favorite decorations are the jar with wine corks and the basket with starfish, etc.
All the glass accents are fantastic!! I love everything you do though…Thanks for the great giveaway opportunity!
I love your new cushions and the color of them is so vibrant!!! I would do something on our front deck over looking the lake if I won the gift card.
I really like your side table next to the chair also.
I love it all, but the lanterns and the hourglass speak to me!!! I could really use a Kirkland’s infusion to help me with my patio makeover!
I love the herb planters and the jars with wine corks in it. I am currently in the middle of updating our backyard so I would use the gift card to purchase some outdoor items to complete my outdoor living space:)
Ali
I love the bright green cushions. I’d probably use the gift card to get the same for my dull, lifeless patio set. Thanks for the chance at the giveaway.
Fresh, fresh, fresh & love, love, love!!!! Shaunna, this has been GREAT inspiration for porch makeovers @ my house! I have screened in porches on all four sides of my little cabin home. Three overlook a pond and one the pool. I could surely use the gift card with so much space to fill!!! I will be heading to Kirkland’s tomorrow to snag some of the fabulous glassware & see what other treasures they have in store!;D
I love what you have done! So pretty and those herb pots are an adorable (and practical) idea! I really love your shells too – so peaceful! And I love Kirkland! Thanks for the chance at the giveaway
Beautiful! Love the pots with the chalkboard labels. And the cushions are fabulous!
I love your herb pots! So adorable.
I would get something new and fresh for my patio. I live on the patio at my house but everything is either old or a hand me down!
I love the herb pots! I have never thought of Kirklands for outdoor decorations–now I have to go there. We just finished extending our patio and you have really put a bee in my bonnet. Thanks–I think!
Love,love love the Luminary glass! Would love to add some glass and Tim pieces to our deck!
Here’s hoping!
Welcome home from your wonderful trip! Kirkland’s has so many things that I love but I would snatch up those luminarias (which I evidently can’t spell) in a heartbeat!
Posted on FB. Love your table too. Our table would look fab with the glass
I like the green and pink colors. they really “pop!” to use your word.
I love the green cushions. The color brightens everything up.
Love the pots, the glassware and the cushions – lovely!
I love the basket!!
Your colors are very fresh and pretty! We are moving this month and have nothing for the patio. I’m sure Kirklands could help with that:). Have a great day!
Love how cozy everything looks, makes me want to visit. I have been admiring a similar hourglass at a local shop for the past year but it never makes it home with me. I’d love a chance to do shop around with a gift card.
Those herb pots are adorable!! Never thought to hang something like that from the wall?!! Genius!
Thanks for the chance to win this gift card….I would LOVE to use it towards anything for our new home (hopefully we’ll close escrow this summer so it’d be perfect timing!!)
Blessings!
Colleen @ PaRty of 5!
I love the glass accents, would love to have an hourglass like yours! Thanks for the opportunity, my patio could really use it!

Love it! We started just the cleaning process a few nights ago, already better! I love those herb pots and all that glass!
I would love to get a rug indoor, or outdoor! Thanks for the chance to win and for introducing me to their site!
I like all of it, especially the planters you used to hang the herbs from. Were they hard to hang? I also enjoyed the bottles with the wine corks and the hourglass! I like beachy, cottagey things so I was drawn to all of these. Thanks to you and Kirklands for a great giveaway!
I LOVE the green cushions and the herb pots! I would love to grow my own herbs but I’m so bad with plants lol.
I posted about the giveaway on FB!
I tweeted about the giveaway @Beingillisapill!
I would have to say your spice planters need to get myself a set of those for sure and thanks for a chance to win an awesome gift…..
Love your herb pots, and I would also love to win that pretty ceramic White Garden Stool! Thanks!
Love the fresh green color of the cushions! Instant update! I think I might have to get myself some of those hanging pots if I win. So cute!
I love the white tabl paired with the green and white cushions. Great contrast between vintage and modern. I am looking to add some outdoor seating, I love being outside withmy little boys and we have neglected our backyard too long!
i love the wine bottle corks in the bottom of the glass jars. great way to upcycle. also love the bright green cushions, really gives a punch to the space.
Oooh, I like the preppy green cushions and the planters on the wall! My front porch is in desperate need of a sprucing up. It would help if I finished painting, too. =o)
i also love the little herb pots on the wall! cute!
I love your patio. The herb pots are right up my alley. I really enjoy your blog. Thanks.
Love the herb pots with the chalkboard labels and also the glass vases/hour glass!! Great makeover!! Thanks for sharing!!
I love the hourglass, it’s so cute!
Looks great. I would get the lanterns and love the idea of corks or even sand or shells.
My fave would be the sand timer – but I also love the lanterns, the shells, the chalk board planters, the corks are fabulous! The bright green is so summery and cheery- I guess I really do love it all! Great job!
I love those cushions, they are my fav color. The hourglass is cute too.
So cute! Really love the wall pots with chalkboard. Be great to have that hanging right outside my kitchen door! The green cushions are fab.
I liked the patio’s overall indoors-meets-outdoors look, accented with fresh splashes of summery color. I’d use the Kirkland’s gift card to bring more of that breezy and bright look into my home…
The hourglass. I have been pining for one.
Love the herb pots!
Cute updates, I could definitely use a few pops of color on our decks! Thanks for sharing!
I would purchase a new table for our under-used brick patio! That would be awesome!
My favorite thing about your lovely back porch is the punch of green! Those cushions are so cute! Of course, the pots are fun!
I love, love the Planters with the chalkboard.
We are moving into a new house at the end of June and I’d use the money to decorate it!!!
I absolutely LOOOOOOOOVE the pots too but my eye was stuck on the table beside the chair lol! Such a beautiful update! If I were to go to Kirklands I would purchase Wall Art or Glassware. I love that store……..beautiful on a budget;)
I love the basket and glass hourglass!
I love the accent table with the little flower pots in the background. An outdoor space should have a pop of color and you’ve definitely added that. Very beautiful!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those herb pots & the shade of green that you used in the patio accents!!! I’d LOVE to spruce up my patio with new cushions for my chairs. Mine are a plain boring tan and I’d LOVE to add some COLOR!!!! : )
I heart the wall planters with the chalkboards, those would be hanging on my privacy fence! I’ve been racking the webpages for some ideas on how to spruce up that long board fence. Perfect!
The hanging herb pots…..I love them. I need those for all the herbs I have in random pots on my patio. Also I would love to purchase that Wicker Glider from Kirkland’s.
I really love the pop of color with your new seat cushions. Looks inviting.
Would love to have 2 chocolate brown cubes for spontaneous seating and green and blue lanterns for our deck. Thanks for the chance!
Very nice! I LOVE the cushions and would love those on my porch!
I love the glass luminaries and hourglass you found! Beautiful! Thanks for the giveaway:)
Love the green cushions! And the lanterns. Thanks for a fun giveaway!
Love the pots with herbs. I just saw a picture in kirklands that I would buy.
I LOVE the herb pots — gonna make a trip to Kirklands!
Love the chair and vintage looking table near the door….very cute! I am also amazed that you pulled it all together in such a short period of time…wish I had your talent.
We have been in our new house for 12 days now… long enough to get out of most of the boxes and start making the house look like OUR home!!! That’s what I’d do with the gift certificate.
Love the luminary lanterns!! With the corks!
Shaunna,
So glad to hear that you and your husband made it back safely from your trip. We cannot wait to hear more about your trip. I love what you have done so far to spruce up your patio. Ours is in need of a major rehaul from furniture to accessories. I am super excited to go and purchase those lanterns you found at Kirtlands. Time for a shopping trip!
I love the green cushions.Such a pretty pop of summer color. I would probably use the gift card to buy some wonderful accessories.
I love everything about your patio! Those herb pots are adorable! I would it to change my blah patio to a wow patio! Thanks for the giveaway.
The whole patio is fabulous, but I really love the little basket with the starfish in it. It’s the little unexpected “surprises” that make it so much fun!

Oops tweeted LOL
I love the herb pots! The chalkboard labels are a cute touch. I also love your pink flowers in the white bucket. Great update!
I love the colors! So bright and happy, yet natural! All that being outdoors should be!
Your patio is beautiful! The green cushions and pink flowers make the patio look fresh and updated. I love the accessories from Kirklands. I would use the gift certificate to update my front entry to my home.
I would use this to get some mulch and flowers for my front yard!!!
Your patio update looks amazing! I LOVE the little pots that you write on. Those are so darn cute!
I’m in the process of trying to decorate our new home we just purchased a few months ago. I have a loft that needs attention so the Kirklands gift card would come in really useful for that.
Thanks for the opportunity! Tracey in KY
Those herb pots are adorable. I’m most envious of your patio, though. For 8 years Huz & I have been putting off the back yard. *wistful sigh*
Well, my dear… welcome back from your exciting trip! When can I put in a paint & wax order?
Super cute herb pots! Love them!
Hi shaunna
Welcome back, and can’t wait to hear more about your trip,
I love the idea of hanging herb pots – so great looking and serve a dual purpose!! I would love to make our deck more like home with the additions of the great accessories.
Many thanks for the giveaway opportunity

Love the glass lanterns and herb pots! Super cute! I would purchase some lanterns for some sprucing up of my backyard!!

I love how fresh and clean the new cushions and accessories give your old furniture! So lovely, and I know you’ll enjoy spending time out there this summer.
I’m dying to do something like this to mine; I haven’t touched the porches in two years so they need a good clean and freshening with new accessories and such! Would love that gift card!
I love the little herb pots!
I am desperately in need of some accessories around my house, and no one does accessories like Kirklands!
I love the way the green cushions bring the space to life and the herb pots not only ad visual beauty but a fragrant paradise is yours for enjoying.
Hello!!
I’m buying my first home!
Love what you did with your porch! I am in the process of updating mine too. The herb pots are fabulous!
Love the herb pots! So cute!
OK, I love so many things, but top choices would be the 2 tier wire holder, the outdoor rugs are awesome and I love the hanging enclosed candle holders. Your patio looks great, that little splash of color and metal pots with chalk boards are fabulous!
Your patio is so inviting! That’s what I love about any space. Thanks for the chance to win!

It looks great! I’m a sucker for any lanterns & love those herb pots as well!!! I think I would have to pick me up some of those great Kirkland accents!
I love the accent pillows, and the pink flowers. I need help with anything in my house.
I love the chair cushions, taable, and white basket. I would use the gift card to update our front porch that has been bare the twelve years we have live in our house.
I love the herb pots and the glass accents are my favorite! I just bought my first house (all by myself) and would love to be able to decorate as beautifully as you do but I am very house-poor so it’s going to take some time!
Love the updates, especially the new cushions and hourglass. We’re moving into a new house and I’ve always slacked on the accessories purchases, so that’s probably what I would do.
I love the hanging herb pots! So cute & practical & saves space too, which is a major plus! If I won the giveaway, I’m not sure which room in my home I’d spruce up, because pretty much every room needs a mini-makeover!
Anyway, love the way your patio looks now. It’s got me craving a sweet tea & a good magazine 
I don’t have FB, but tweeted about the giveaway! Thanks for the opportunity!
I love your patio! What a difference a trip to Kirkland’s makes! Lime green seems to be one of the colors I’m gravitating toward lately. It’s just so fresh and screams summer. Those darlin’ little herb pots are perfect for snipping your favorite seasoning to add to supper. Plus, I bet they smell lovely when the breeze blows through. I have a pot of basil on my patio. One of my favorite smells!
Shaunna,
Even though it’s not finished, it’s beautiful. You’ve inspired me to add a little love to my functional but boring patio. Definitely need to trash my chair cushions. Maybe I can talk the hubby into making a run to Lowe’s today.
Thanks for the lovely photos and the inspiration.
Love the refreshing, inviting green cushions …looks like a great place for a chat and some of your sweet tea!
lovely spot….so inviting…refreshing green decor….how about a glass of sweet tea? hmmmmm
I really love what you’ve done to your patio… herb pots are my favorite! I love Kirkland’s and shop there often – have my eye on this Slipper Chair (on sale too!) for a while now so I know what I would buy if I won the Gift Card. Thanks for the chance to win. AJ@queenofmynest

I love your patio makeover! The herb pots are amazing, but I’m really loving the new chair cushions…. so fresh and colorful! I would be heading straight to Kirklands to find some similar cushions (hopefully) and some of those lovely lanterns. Thanks for hosting this fun giveaway!
I would use this for a patio table
I would use the giftcard towards tables for my new house! I hope I win!!
I would love to buy an outdoor rug for our deck which we just finished re-staining. It is in rough shape and we thought the stain would be enough to hide it but a rug would help even more!
Thanks for the chance!
Beautiful as always with everything you do. I too would use my winnings for decor. Been working on our patio as well.
What a difference and bit of color makes! I’m as sucker for glass too, so I love the hourglass and the lanterns. I’m a regular at my local Kirklands and they have so many things I’d love to have in my home. Thanks for the opportunity to win. Have a great weekend.
Our 18 mo son is finally getting his own room, and really needs some accent pieces…Kirklands would be an amazing place to get them!!
Love the makeover…what a difference!
Cheers! Linda
I love the glass luminary lanterns! Your porch is beautiful!
I, as many others, love the cushions. The reason I love them, the flowers, and the herb pots, is because prior to adding these the space was very bland. Now it calls you to come sit down, and hear the sounds of summer! If I were to win the gift card I would do some updates on my sunroom. I don’t have a patio space, so this is my summer getaway. Right now it is drab, and could use an update.
I love the herb pots, new green cushions, and the accents you chose (lamps, basket, shells, flower pot, etc.)! I would probably buy a basket, myself, or a few flower-pots and lamps.
Your patio is gorgeous! I love the glass accents on the tables, and the cork inside them looks very Pottery Barn. My husband and I are about to start working on the patio and I love me some Kirklands!
I’d love to be able to update our patio chairs with bright colors. I’d also like to get some hanging baskets for my many petunias that i have. I think they’d look spectacular hanging on either side of my door
Love the use of herbs as an accent. Multi-purpose decorating is always a plus!
I love the green cushions. I would use the gift card to help accessorize our new home.
I especially love green, but I think the glass accents are super gorgeous.
Love the herb pots with the chalkboard labels! I would want a few of those and since we have only lived in our new house for three weeks our deck is sadly completely empty! We need some deck furniture. I’m inspired by your bright colors and glassware.
Love the herb pots. Adorable with chalkboard to identify your plants. Genius!
I liked the patio updates (filled with bright greens, glass accents and basket).Given a chance to spend gift card I would buy Metal Faith Family Friends Hanging Sign,Rustic Red Bird House(small things add so much to beauty).Thanks
The clear glass lanterns are especially adorable with your added corks! It would be a dream to have $150.00 to spend at Kirkland’s!!
I love, just love the herb baskets. Very creative!!
I can’t just choose one thing. I love all the changes. It looks gorgeous!
I LOVE the herb pots!! Great job!
It looks so fresh and bright! Love the color of the cushions & the herb pots!
I have a home built in the 1880′s- and it is ALWAYS needing some type of repair. I would use the gift card to help me decorate our wrap around porch- that desperately needs a little pizazz!! Thanks and hope I win! (can I say that?) LOL!
Love your green cushions! And the herb pots are so cute too!
I absolutely love the herb pots! Your patio looks wonderful!
Love the little baskets and cushions!!!!!
I love the look you just did! We just finished building a back porch, so I would love Kirklands help!!
I really like the luminary lanterns and I just love how you filled the bottoms with corks. Now that is a filler that I never would have thought of…thanks for sharing and for great giveaway.
I would use this gift card for stuff to hang on my patio walls. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
I absolutely love the entire makeover!!! The new patio looks so pretty.
How inviting your porch is now! Love the white table &glass lanterns the most! Since I just spent this evening cleaning the winter grime off our front porch it would be the perfect time to win the kirklands gift card!!!!

Flower pots with chalk board paint…GENIUS!!! I love to see more and more projects with chalk board paint and I’m ready to tackle some of my own this summer. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love the herb planters on the wall!!! Great way to bring life to a boring wall!
Love love the herb pots!! Your patio looks great so bright and cheery:) I would use the gift card on my patio that is in need of some TLC:)
This is the post I needed to see today! I have been looking for ways to spruce up my patio. We have a blank, dull wall with no windows and I was going crazy trying to figure out what to do. (Especially because you can see the boring old thing from the road—corner lot blessings.) I would definitely use the gift card to pick up some of those hanging herb pots! Beautiful and functional! I love the bright color of the flower basket next to the green of the cushions. Beautiful space!
I love the green cushions and herb pots.
…and I tweeted!
…and posted a facebook status with the link!
I would use the gift card to add more color and texture to my so very boring back porch. thanks for the giveaway!!!
I love the green in the cushions and the herbs and how it stands out against the cream and white on your walls. My family and I are moving this summer, and we will have a covered patio for the first time in a loooong time
. I would love to be able to go to Kirkland’s and spruce it up!! Thanks for the inspiration!!
LOVE the herb pots!! My front porch has been on my mind lately!! This gift card would go a LONG way to making things pretty!
Green so fresh !!!!!!
I tweeted on Twitter, and pinned it on my outdoor inspiration on Pinterest so I can come back to it after the move!!
I love how the green pops out with the pink accent from the flowers. I also love the wall pots! Thanks!
The chalkbord hanging planters are really ingenious!
Love!
I absolutely love the green chair pads. The design and color are a fantastic addition to the space!
Love the herb pots and glass accents!
I love the white table.
I love the changes! We are building a new deck and can’t wait to decorate it. I look at a patio or deck as a room and love to decorate it as such.
I love the potted flowering plant. (obviously I know nothing about plants since I don’t even know what it’s called!) I love many things at Kirklands and I’m sure I’d find many fun things to buy!
the green cushions are stunning! love that they completely brightened up the entire space
enjoy sitting out there!
Yes please, I could def use some sprucing up for our back porch! You did a lovely job as always!
So inspiring!!! The wall herb planters are what get me excited!!!
Love the punch of blue in your throw pillows. Makes me want to grab a good book and glass of tea and sit on my patio! Nicely done!
WOW! What a difference an hour and a half makes! The colors are very fresh & inviting. LOVE the herb pots! I would probably use the gift certificate to get some of those for my patio area! Great job!
Looks great, love the new cushions, great pop of color!!! I have those same lanterns, love them!!!
Makes me want to get my deck freshened up—–after the bedroom!
What a lovely front porch arrangement! Looks pretty well set to me, but I look forward to seeing what else you have up your sleeve! The luminaries would be fun filled with sand and a few shells…
I love the herb pots on the wall. I am inspired
I looooove those lanterns!!
love your patio, especially the glass accents!!! My family and I recently moved into a bigger home and we have ZERO furniture except for 4 amazing chairs we just bought at Kirklands so we would use this gift card for anything and everything!! Thanks!
Loved the transformation! The pots are great and the slipcovers are a beautiful shade of green! Thanks for sharing the photos!
I love the summer changes you made. I loved the table vignette the best. Thanks for the chance to win
Love the way you styled the patio table – hour glass, luminary lanterns, basket. It looks very inviting and beckons me outdoors. I would use the Kirkland’s to decorate my patio and give it a “sense of style”.
Your patio looks great! Need a little update for mine and the green and white are some of my fav colors too!
I love the pots with herbs in them. How do you plant the herbs in the pots – rocks, soil??? And I love everything else.
Love love the green cushions … Green is my favorite color …great ideas thanks for sharing ! !
I love your new colorful cushions.
I love the gorgeous pattern on the chair cushions.
I love the pop of crisp green on the cushions, also the sweet beach themed decorative touches. Gorgeous!
And I tweeted the giveaway, too! @Jennyroo1
Love these ideas – and would love to win. My deck so needs a makeover.
Love the green cushions and the lanterns

I shared the giveaway on facebook as well!
Looks so inviting! Love the color combinations. Nice job!
Hmm, I’ve never been to Kirkland’s but now that I see those herb pots I NEED to have some. Such a lovely update and I adore the green:-)
Love the vignette on the table. It is all so perfect!
I love your green Lowes cushions and cute lil pots!
Absolutely love the pots. How’d you hang then? Are they completely round? I will be headed to the NEW bigger Kirkland’s that just opened down the road. Thanks for sharing such wonderful ideas!
I love the color scheme, and the pots with chalkboard markers are ingenious! Great job! I feel inspired to visit Kirkland’s this weekend!
I LOVE everything! I think the herb pots are probably a favorite, however, since this is the first time I’ve seen those! They’re just perfect! I would use the gift card to buy accessories to update my covered patio. It’s been several years since I bought anything new for that area, and I already have a list started of things I must have. =)
I just love the herb pots and the white table!!!! The whole back patio looks great, and there are some awesome ideas!!!
I love the green cushions too. They really brighten up the space. The planters were a great eye catcher too. Looks like a great outdoor area!
I love the luminaries! I would use the gift card for some cute accessories for our front porch!
I love the green cushions and how they brought your patio furniture back to life!
The colors that were used to accessorize the existing furniture really compliments the entire patio. The ‘earthy’ hues give it a relaxing, yet cheery look. Although the patio is a somewhat small space, it doesn’t look over-cluttered with accessories or furniture and it is a great use of the space. The glass accents are a nice touch and will no doubt look inviting in the evening when lit. This is a great look!
love, Love LOVE the pop of green on the chair cushions. I’m needing new ones and would love to add some color at the same time!
great blog, keep up the awesome work!
