Outdoor rooms.

I’ve been kind of obsessed with the idea of an outdoor room for a while. Now, we definitely don’t have enough room or the budget for what has been featured on HGTV as of late, but I was thinking our porch definitely needed sprucing up. This is what it used to look like:

My favorite part of the new front porch? The large white, ceramic elephant. I am completely infatuated with elephants in general (I even have a tattoo of two elephants on my back for good luck) and I have always wanted an oversized collectible — another post about my indoor collection will happen soon, I promise (keyword to my collection, so not to worry anyone: it will be finite).

The elephant and the chair (called “Crazy Mocha Chairs”) are all from Pier 1 Imports. I was never a fan of the store until recently — and I have to say I am kind of obsessed now with it. I wish their website was a little more in-depth (reminds me of Home Goods’ website).

The orange pillows are from Target (very similar to these on their website). I like that they match the shutters, but I really don’t like the orange as a shutter color in general. I have noticed that our patio definiely needs a good pressure washing once the weather warms up!
