Outdoor Summer Hangout Spot

This patio is a good size and the other side of it is still being set up, as we are unpacking boxes right now, but I wanted to make this little corner for my teens to hang out. I didn’t really understand the necessity for sun rooms here until we moved in. One word….mosquitoes…ha! So the screens are so lovely and helpful and we can still be outside and relax and eat and enjoy being in nature. I wanted really comfy chairs for my kids and I knew they loved these egg pod chairs so I was thrilled to see Walmart had them for such a great price. I might want a couple more but for now, it’s great for both my teens to each have or for one of them and a friend to come out and relax on.

To create this space I started with this great, neutral outdoor rug. It’s smooth, not hard and scratchy like some, was very affordable, and looks like it washes off easily.

These egg pod chairs are not only super duper comfortable but their price was better than others I’d found. I grabbed some darling yellow-striped pillows to add a fun pop of color.

I needed some greenery and found the cutest faux lemon tree, also a fraction of the price of other ones I’ve compared online, and it fit perfectly into one of my existing pots. It also went my little lemon theme I had planned.

Walmart has so many fun items for this summer! Not only for outside but for decorating the interior of your home and also tabletop items. I had to have this lovely aqua dinnerware set. I sliced some lemons and sparkling water, although most Southerners here would probably choose sweet tea. It’s a staple here.

Since I’m still unpacking boxes galore, grabbing some lemon treats from Walmart’s bakery and adding lemon pieces for garnish was a better alternative to save me from baking from scratch. I love how cute the yellow desserts were on these aqua dishes! This was a fun way to present this area to my kiddos. They loved this whole set-up and would be so cute on your table or patio area while entertaining this summer!

Isn’t this fun?! Even though it’s super hot here, this patio stays cool and now I’ve been able to create the perfect spot for my teens (or for Josh and I) to come escape to and spend time together. Do you have an outdoor summer hangout spot for your family? I can’t wait to see them out here together. I already spotted them out here having lunch together and it made my mama heart so happy.
