Love For Outdoors & Giveaway
Hi friends! Are you ready to be inspired by the outdoors again? I have teamed up with World Market to transform my farmhouse front porch into tropical paradise perfect for summer living. I will also be sharing some amazing decorating ideas from Justina Blakeney and a fabulous giveaway! Sounds exciting doesn’t it?!!
Welcome to my colorful and cheerful tropical inspired paradise….
I am usually one to stick with neutrals but not in the summer. Color and pattern excite me especially after a long winter. The Paradise Fiji Collection completely took my breath away and the tropical pillow on my DIY sofa inspired the color palette for this space & the idea that outdoor living can be bold, functional and stylish.
The bar cart fits just right in this space & the vibrant colors, texture and functional items complete the look.
I am in love with the turquoise, the coral tones and bright magenta, it really does make this space feel like a tropical retreat perfect for outdoor living.
Lanterns give extra lighting at night and set the mood, especially on nights my husband & I make it out here, alone:).
Being steps from the bay I found the hard way that my furniture needs to be stylish but also be able to weather the outdoor elements and these wicker chairs are perfectly suited for this space.
The palm was a mother’s day present from my boys, so sweet!
My porch is layered with herbs, jasmine, gardenia, succulents and other tropical touches.
I was ready for summer before but now I am like “bring it on!” Who is with me?!
And to get you in the summers spirit even more I have an amazing video for you….
Here is how to mix and match patterns in 3 easy steps by designer Justina Blakeney…
1. Pick a dominant color and one or two accent colors. The colors tie the patterns together and make the space look cohesive.
2. Mix graphic pillows (like the dragonfly) with patterns (like the
botanical prints).
3.Toss in some solids to balance everything out.

Have a beautiful day!
Your link isn’t working 😉
All fixed, thank you for letting me know:). Have a great day!
ha! I also thought it said that’s where you and your husband make out too when I first read it! I thought HOW CUTE! I SHOULD DO THAT MORE!
Haha Jen, maybe I should reword that, lol:)! Have a happy holiday weekend! Jen
Your porch looks amazing!! So pretty and ready for Summer!!
Hahahahaha … I read “when my husband and I make out …” instead of “when my husband and I make it out here, alone” I thought WHAAAATTTTTTTT~?~
What a beautiful outdoor setting – I’d love to sit on your porch and just enjoy the surroundings with you. You’ve done a beautiful job!
Please count me out for the giveaway though … I am scared to death to fly. Sounds tempting but I just get all jittery just thinking about it. GOOD LUCK to the more adventurous soul and the brave one.
PS – go ahead and make out on the porch … I’m sure the neighbors won’t mind 🙂
I want to be hanging out on your porch right now, sipping on something peachy and checking out your view. I absolutely love your tropical summer decor.
Thanks Emily! I want you to too, wish you loved closer! Happy Friday! Jen
I love your porch!!! World Market is my favorite store and I shop there weekly for all sorts of things for my home and for gifts!
I really want a bar cart and I love yours. Is it a recent World Market find?
HI Susan, yes just found it there in the Fiji Collection:). Thank you so much & I love them too! Have a great day! Jen
Jen, your porch is gorgeous!! I have been eyeing so many of the fun things at World Market this year. I love how happy and fun your whole space is!
Thank you Kristen!!! Have a great holiday weekend! Jen
