WTG Explores // Orchard Supply Hardware

February 20, 2017

When you hear about a new home improvement store that incorporates DIY, home, and garden, your home project loving heart gets all the feels. What’s even better is being able to check it out to give you all of the amazing details!

What is Orchard Supply Hardware?

Say hello to Orchard Supply Hardware! They are a California based store quickly making their way into numerous locations in Florida. The most recent one in Bayhill Plaza of Orlando. Orchard is your neighborhood store with a general store feel. It’s as if Lowe’s and Whole Foods combined to give you one amazing store! Their main objective is to give you the resources to complete fun and quick home projects that help reflect your personal style and to create a happy home. It’s one of the many reasons I adore this store! 

What does Orchard Supply provide?

They provide everything you need for home improvement with their own little twist! Like with the picture above, they have their own Workbench where you can relax while they help you with the hard work. Have a hole in your window screen? Rest easy, they’ll help you fix it! Need to cut something but you don’t have the right tool? Orchard does and they’ll cut it for you!

Let’s talk about one of my favorite areas: the nursery. If you go in the evening, you’re guaranteed an amazing sunset as you browse.

But that’s not the best part. Orchard provides a Potting Bench for customers to use. Look how adorable it is:

With the experts there to help you, you can walk away with a flower already potted. Simply pick out a pot, your favorite plant, and the experts will help you plant it for free. Seriously, forget the large bag of soil where you don’t even use half of it and you can display your potted plant right when you get home. Then Orchard takes it one step further. Their plants have a lifetime guarantee. So if your green thumb isn’t quite green yet, just bring the plant back and they’ll replace it!

Now, let me chat about the inside. More specifically the spray paint aisle. Not just a portion of the aisle, but the entire aisle consists of spray paint. It’s a dream come true with my spray paint loving heart. It seriously doesn’t stop. It keeps going. 

With their own paint counter, Orchard is able to provide paint samples in adorable little cans (with a $5 coupon so it’s basically free after your first purchase) and unique lines of paint.

Their most unique paint line is the Affinity Collection by Benjamin Moore. There are 144 harmonious paint colors which means you can pair all of the colors together flawlessly. This is possible due to the saturation of the colors complementing each other and allows them to flow naturally from room to room. 

Orchard Supply Hardware also provides 45,000 high quality items which is just as much, if not more, than your average Home Depot or Lowe’s minus the lumber. You would never know with their small town feel. They also organize each area of the store with the cutest signs and colored walls. Red for your trinkets (nuts and bolts), yellow for plumbing and lighting, and green for garden/outdoor.

Along with the nursery, Orchard provides furniture to create the ultimate outdoor living space with the best accessories to spruce it up! Not to mention I kept looking over my shoulder for the Scott Brothers since Orchard carries their line,Scott Living.

How are they different?

Orchard Supply Hardware is different from other home improvement stores because they strive to connect with their community in a meaningful way. They not only host DIY project nights, free educational clinics, and hardware happy hours, but they have experts to assist you. You won’t bounce around from one person to another to find an answer. Each section of the store has an expert who is there to help you. You save time, money, and might even gain a new idea for your latest DIY. Every expert I met from Dave in plumbing, to Monica giving me my amazing tour, to Peggy who made me feel right at home, made a great personal impression as if we have always been friends. 

Sneak Peak Night // Meet the Team of Orchard Supply Hardware of Orlando

So, this leads me to the amazing night spent at Orchard Supply Hardware that was an absolute blast.

Everywhere I ventured there was something amazing to look at or do. I immediately wanted to start the projects that have been lingering on my home to-do list, but first I needed to have a little fun exploring my new favorite home improvement store. From shirt making to planting my own cute little succulent, Orchard seemed to have it going on! 

Where can you find Orchard Supply Hardware?

You’re bound to have an amazing time when you visit Orchard Supply Hardware. You’ll also be greeted by the nicest team that go over and beyond to help you find what you need. 

If you’re local to the Orlando area, you can find them in the Bayhill Plaza off of Turkey Lake Road. There are also locations in Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, Deerfield Beach, and Weston/Sunrise. And surprise! A new location will be opening in Winter Park this August! You can also find them on Facebook and using #OrchardFlorida. Now that I’ve told you all about my favorite store, I’m going to go spread the adorable Florida Wildflowers and enjoy a few other goodies from Orchard Supply Hardware. 

Let me know what you think when you check them out! What will be your first home improvement project?

Let’s keep in touch!

We have a brand new community over on Facebook, House & Home, where we’ll be chatting, sharing, and helping one another when it comes to home decor and projects. Come join us! Check it out here.

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!
