Fall Decor for Your Outdoor Space

September 27, 2018

Creating and outdoor fall tablescape for entertaining. || Within the Grove

This all started with a table. Well, I mean, of course it’s an outdoor table decorated for fall hosting. But what I really mean, is that it all started with this exact table that I wanted to strip the paint off of. When it was actually working and it revealed the beautiful teak wood underneath, I then had put oil on it to complete the transformation. That of course lead to painting the patio chairs from 50 shades of coral to a bluish gray. Here’s where we started:

And now we are here:

I truly planned on posting about how to paint patio chairs with a paint sprayer, and I promise that will still happen, but I couldn’t help but share our outdoor space for the fall season. This was 100% unplanned. But after I painted the chairs (and fell in love with them), I knew I had to find pillows for the space, then a centerpiece, then plates, and well, you get it.

And now here we are. Our brand new (to us) teak table, freshly painted chairs, and the comfort of fall through a little bit of decor. Our goal was to make the overall fall table decor simple and to help bring family and friends outdoors. This time of year is when we start to enjoy our patio even more as the humidity and heat starts to die down. If we didn’t live in Florida where it is still currently 95 degrees, I would have added a blanket or two to the space.

The outdoor plates were the first item that I found for this space. I’ve been eyeing them at Target for a little while now and knew they would be perfect out here. I had to show self control not to purchase the entire line of outdoor bowls, plates, and cups in this line.

I knew I wanted to add pumpkins to the plates but I didn’t want orange or white ones. But what about concrete ones? These cuties were a steal at Hobby Lobby. They are another great outdoor element to use on a patio table and they tie in with the candle holders. Can we also talk about how they’ll make great paper weights to help prevent napkins from flying away?

The candle holders were two items that I randomly found in the outdoor clearance. Which also means they are no longer available. But I’ll here’s a slightly similar one. The thing I adore the most about these is that the bottom of them are concrete. It screams outdoor patio with the amazing texture and goes great with the blue hues.

But instead of filling them with a large candle, I opted to paint foam pumpkins to create a blue ombre design and to add a touch of fall. I originally saw this idea Making Home Base’s mantle and wanted to try my own spin on them. The few hours it took to paint all of these pumpkins were well worth the time. I stacked them starting with the lightest pumpkins going in first and ending with the darkest. It just might be my favorite decor piece on the table.

Finally, the pillows. These almost caused me to throw this whole outdoor fall table out the window. I searched high and low for pillows that would work for this space without spending $20 a pillow. With needing 6 pillows, it would have blown the budget. I checked HomeGoods, Target, TJ Maxx, Ross, Lowe’s, Home Depot, and Amazon. All of these stores had outdoor pillows on sale but nothing close to what I was looking for.

Who saved the day? Walmart, my friends. Walmart for $8 per pillow! I entered through the garden section only to be greeted by these 6 lonely pillows waiting to be claimed. No other pillows around. I can’t tell you why they were still there but I can tell you they were in my cart with one swoop of my arm. These aren’t available online, so check in-store!

There you have it! There’s blue and then there’s a little bit of gray. It may not be traditional fall colors but it’s us and we love it! Plus, these items can become year round (minus the pumpkins) decor to get longer use out of them. We’re looking forward to using our outdoor fall table as the weather cools off, the mosquitoes start to disappear, and we celebrate all things fall.

Round 2 (and final!) for the grass install in our Round 2 (and final!) for the grass install in our backyard. Dang, does it feel GOOD to finally say that! It has been a long time coming and a little sweat equity saved us so much by doing it ourselves. Next on the backyard to do list is turning it into a tropical oasis by planting the flower beds. Think huge birds of paradise! Time to start planning.
It has been 6 years since we moved into our home a It has been 6 years since we moved into our home and visualized the potential our backyard would one day have. The first few years were spent clearing out and claiming our property back . Two years ago we built our dream garden, last year we built the play area that feels more like a magical treehouse, and this year we added a pool (still pinching myself every day). We’re seeing our hard work over the years starting to come together as we approach the finish line of installing grass and landscaping that’s going to bring it all together. As I always say, stay tuned because you know I’m going to share it all with you! And a little reminder for you to keep going because home takes time.
The garden is cleaned up, prepped, and ready for t The garden is cleaned up, prepped, and ready for the summer crop. What started as a single garden box has transformed to this garden space over the past few years. Favorite thing about it: being tucked away in this cozy corner with the winding paths throughout it. One thing I would do differently: using pea gravel instead of the granite rocks we went with. These rocks hurt! Pea gravel is smooth enough to comfortably walk barefoot on.
The grass is in! Saying BUH BYE to the dirt around The grass is in! Saying BUH BYE to the dirt around the pool for the first time since December when we broke ground. We spent the past few weeks installing irrigation throughout our backyard and around the pool. Yesterday we finally had the sod delivered and within a few hours it got us one step closer to finishing our backyard oasis. We still have a long ways to go, but my goodness does it feel good to see this part done! And we can finally check off the final inspection for the pool build.
What does it cost to fill a 16,000 gallon pool wit What does it cost to fill a 16,000 gallon pool with a garden hose? Our total came to $229! Does this total surprise you? This of course can greatly vary depending on where you live and your situation. For us, we live in Florida and on county water. We only pay water fees and not sewage. The water company did not give us a discount. We filled the pool right at the start of our billing month so this is it! Have you filled up a pool before? I’d love for you to share your cost, pool size, and location if you feel comfortable doing so!
We have a 16,000 gallon pool and filled it up with We have a 16,000 gallon pool and filled it up with a single water hose. And we for sure had some questions! Answering them here:

• Why not use a water truck? We weren’t in a rush, it was the best way to end this project watching it fill up, and it would have been more expensive. 

• Why not use our local fire station? Our local fire department doesn’t do this and it isn’t very common that most do. We wouldn’t ask if they did. 

• Did our water company give us a discount? Nope. Most water companies will take off the sewage fee but we only pay for water and not sewage where we live. We did notify them so they wouldn’t turn our water off thinking it was a leak. 

• What is that on the end of your hose? We added a filter on the hose to help reduce iron, scale, any other heavy metals and containments to help give our pool a fresh start. 

• How long did it take? 51 hours 

I’ll be sharing the cost soon so make sure to add your guess in the comments!
Pizza nights are back! And one thing we’re addin Pizza nights are back! And one thing we’re adding since our screen enclosure is gone, are these Bitefighter LED String Lights by @tikibrandproducts . You’ve seen us use them in our playset area and now for our patio area. They give us the ambiance we need at night while helping to fight off the mosquitoes as a 2 in 1 solution. There’s no odor, no mess, and they will last all season long. Cheers to the summer nights ahead! #ad #TIKIbrand
Protecting outdoor furniture for the summer!

It’s time to give your outdoor furniture the best start for summer and to help it last long term. Here are some things you can do to protect your outdoor furniture as we enter the summer season:

1. If you have wood furniture, it’s time to seal it! I use Thompson’s Waterseal on all my outdoor wood furniture except for teak. This protects it from moisture, sunshine, and mold/mildew.

2. Easiest way to help keep cushions clean is by spot cleaning throughout the season. I use 30 Seconds Outdoor Cleaner for quick, fresh looking cushions. 

3. To really protect cushions, Shield H2O provides a water repellent treatment that repels moisture and spills, which in return helps prevent mold and mildew. 

4. Have teak furniture? Use a teak SEALER and not an oil. Teak oil is a short term solution and easily washes out with rain. Time to seal it to last long term! 

I have everything I used in my Amazon storefront under outdoor.
We were told 16 weeks for our pool install but it We were told 16 weeks for our pool install but it ended up taking exactly 12 weeks. Broke ground on December 16th and started filling it with water on March 16th. I’m sharing all the pool details over on my blog. Including the answer to the number one question: How much did this cost? Covering how we picked a pool builder, the construction process, the materials we went with and why, what we splurged on and where we saved, and so much more. Save it for future reference! It’s a good one!
