I tried to find lyrics to a song to match the lanai love but all I could think of is “front porch sittin.” While I love our front porch, I love the back lanai even better and to be honest, I call it the back porch more often. It is a breezy oasis that I adore. Lanai sounds a little fancy.
This sectional set is so comfy and the oodles of Pillows and lanterns from Kohl’s were purchased during some great sales. LOVE this set too! I didn’t realize you had to get a TV especially made for the outdoors.
Mr. Nine got the TV from Best Buy and we love watching TV out there. Mornings with coffee are especially sweet and the afternoon breeze up there makes it great for reading and naps for Mr. Nine.
This photo below is the most recent and you can see how big my Silver Berry Vista Petunias have gotten.
The rug came from Sam’s club and it was my first purchase for the porch and why I added in shades of blue and teal.The punched metal Accent stool is so cool!
Mom go this sweet lil sign for us and the cool citronella candle.
Of course, an outdoor oasis wouldn’t be complete without some coasters (yep with pineapples) and our sea-foam colored YETI Drink Holders are the BEST!
AND How cool are these solar lanterns from Kohl’s, look at the pattern they make on the concrete floor at night!
LOVE the Tranquility!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous oasis during the summer. I hope you are enjoying every minute of it.
ReplyDeleteYou seriousky never need to go on vacation again with that beautiful space. I need to update my outdoor space. Do you take cushions and pillows in every night?
ReplyDeleteAndrea!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE your outdoor space! It look so amazing - super cozy and chic! And I love your color scheme! It's my fave color!!! I swear if this was my backyard it would look just like yours! Well done, dear!

Your back porch is just GORGEOUS! It looks so serene and the way you decorated it is SO my style! I love all of the pops of blue! Major lanai envy over here!

Girlfriend!! I don’t even know where to begin because I’m loving everything!! We got our outside TV for our cook shack at Best Buy, too! Loving all the calming blue and design, but I am especially loving the stone sidewalk and stairs! I am assuming that’s coming from the pool up to the lanai and it’s just something that you wouldn’t really find here in Louisiana. Can’t wait to come visit one day! Enjoy sitting out today and soaking up some summer breezes!
ReplyDeletePretty!! I love the furniture you chose and that stone path is beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteWell no matter whether you call it your back porch or lanai, it looks like an amazing, relaxing oasis! Love the beautiful colors you chose and all of the fabulous pieces. You really have a gift for home decor!

Its absolutely stunning so no wonder you love it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely perfect spot. That's an outdoor living room if you ask me. Lanai does sound fancy and porch sounds perfect! You've decorated it so gorgeously! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove this space!!! It looks so beautiful!! I would sit out there every day and drink my coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night. :-) I hope that you had a wonderful weekend too!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness what a perfect little oasis! This space looks so cozy and relaxing! What a great spot to sit back and enjoy a little drinky drink. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! This space is perfect and you didn't miss a single detail!
ReplyDeleteI literally would have to be pried off that beautiful seating to come inside. I would live there. Those touches of blue are just gorgeous too. I have that same color Yeti & its my fav!
ReplyDeleteWhat a serene area to spend your time at, Andrea!! It looks like it's out of a magazine!!

Such a backyard paradise! I bet you love sitting back there in the mornings/evenings! So gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteTotal luxury there! Love it.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Andrea, what a DREAM spot! I'd never go inside! I think it must be so nice to sit out there, relax, and just unwind at your leisure. How beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis space looks like pure relaxation! I love everything about it. That sectional looks so cozy that I would probably drift off with some naps out there. I didn't realize that about an outdoor TV, good to know. Sierra Beautifully Candid
ReplyDeleteI keep saying it like a broken record but you really are livin' the Cloud Nine dream! Can't imagine what it must feel like to wake up each morning to a dream all around. Love the aqua styling, hope it's near that gorgeous aqua accents powder room of yours! X.
ReplyDeleteThat is decorated so beautifully! I especially love the coasters!!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, what a gorgeous space! I love the colors, rug, lanterns, etc. I had no idea you had to buy a special TV for the outdoors, but it makes sense. We found out that there are also special fridge's for outside if you plan to have one in the garage, which we invested in earlier this year. Oh, I could just read, nap, sip some coffee/wine (depending on the time) and repeat, repeat, repeat. :)

Now that looks relaxing! It all looks so nice and cozy! I did not know that about the TVs either. hmm. I love Yeti and your blue sea foam color was the perfect choice. I recently got a Yeti Wine Cup. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLisa
I am just going to come move in with you guys! All of your spaces are absolutely gorgeous!!! The Petunias look so good! I want to crawl up and take a nap right there ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, Andrea that looks amazing and I love everything about that outdoor space. I would never want to leave and it looks so relaxing. Your color theme is so nice with the acqua color. Thanks for sharing at C&C with J&J.

Can I come over? Ha. That place looks heavenly!
ReplyDeleteWell I can see why you love it so much! That is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWell if that isn't a cozy spot, I don't know what is! I love the color scheme so much and this makes me long for porch weather!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors! It looks so peaceful & comfortable back there!
ReplyDeleteI love how much seating y'all have out there! It's perfect for entertaining!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Goodness! GORGEOUS! When I saw that first photo I thought that was your Pinterest inspiration but, in fact, that is YOUR house! I'm in love with how you decorated this space to make it stylish yet comfortable for hanging out! When can I come over? Emily @ Martinis & Bikinis
ReplyDeleteWhat a great space! This looks like it is out of a magazine or a catalog photo shoot! I can see why you love this space so much!
ReplyDeleteLove, love it! It just screams, "come sit a while and relax." I'm sure the weather there is condusive to enjoying it throughout the summer months. Know it is a favorite place for you and your guys. Happy week Andrea!
ReplyDeleteI saw those lanterns at Kohls but was unsure how well they would work. They look awesome! I want to head back and see if they still have them for our new house! I love how your lanai turned out. It's so peaceful and relaxing looking!
ReplyDeleteIt all turned out SO good! Completely classic & chic. Love the bright colors and of course that fabulous fireplace with the t.v....My husband wants to put one outside too, but we don't have a cute space like you do! Such a bummer!

That looks like a perfect place to relax!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun space! I love that sectional and the sip sip hooray sign! I could see our gang gathered there to watch football the first part of the season while it's still nice as well!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this is amazing. I would love something like this :) Thanks for sharing at #CreativeMondays, hope to see you on Wednesday for our next blog hop.
ReplyDeleteI just love your color scheme on the lanai!! It is what I would have chosen too. I try to bring aqua into every room I have. It all works beautifully together and looks so cozy. When I think of a lanai, this is what I picture!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I adore every last detail!! What a beautiful space you have there!! I love that this outdoor extension of your home looks as beautiful as it does comfortable!! Sounds like morning to night it has something wonderful to offer! Keep enjoying, sweet friend!! xoxo!
ReplyDeleteOf course you knocked it out of the park. The colors are so wonderful and fun and draw me to it. The solar lanterns are especially beautiful. Amazing work! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, what a sweet and special outdoor space. I LOVE it! You decorated it perfectly and your green thumb is so well utilized in this lovely area.
