Small Patio Makeover on a Budget!
As the month of May comes to a close, I’m looking ahead to all of the fun things that summer will bring! Days lounging by the pool, dinner on the grill, water balloon fights, enjoying a cold drink on our patio.
Today I’m excited to be teaming up with one of my favorite one-stop shopping destinations, Christmas Tree Shops, for a fun little patio refresh for summer! I was inspired by Christmas Tree Shop’s new ‘Wild Palms’ and ‘Hula House’ collections; so for this shopping trip, I focused on picking up decor items with a fun, tropical theme. Christmas Tree Shops always has stylish and seasonal items at affordable prices!

As you can see, I found everything I needed (and more lol) to give our patio a fun refresh for summer, and all for under $200!
The first thing that caught my eye in-store were these gorgeous, tropical pillows. I loved the lush green tones, and fun black accents. They really pop against our neutral outdoor furniture!

I also added a plush palm blanket and the cutest rattan serving tray, which can double as a decor piece inside the home when we aren’t entertaining. Two bamboo stem margarita glasses, a framed monstera print and a monogrammed pineapple add tropical flair. I also found the perfect, textured rug to tie the look together and add an element of coziness to the space. I can’t wait to enjoy some cold drinks out here this summer!


I couldn’t pass up this fun, sparkly pineapple drink dispenser, especially at only $19.99! I mean, how cool will this be for summer parties?! On a glistening, gold leaf tray I layered some delicious fresh fruit; I love that it can double as both a server and chic decor piece. On the opposite coffee table, I displayed the cutest rattan pineapple and a palm leaf candle holder. Of course no summer patio refresh would be complete without a tropical faux monstera plant. This one is already potted and was under $20?!







I hope that you enjoyed this peek at our tropical summer patio refresh! I was so impressed with Christmas Tree Shop’s affordable and eclectic selection of summer decor, and hope that you will enjoy your shopping experience there as much as I always do!
