Spring Patio Makeover-the look for less

April 27, 2017 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

Thank you so much T.J.Maxx for sponsoring my Spring patio makeover.  All opinions here are my own and I would never share products or companies with my readers that I did not truly love and shop at myself.

Texas has had the most beautiful weather lately (minus a couple of hail storms).  We are spending tons of time outside and this inspired me to give my patio a make-over.  It was in need of some freshening up and I want to enjoy it as long as possible before the 110 degree weather hits!  We actually spend lots of time enjoying outdoor living around here because our weather is pretty mild most of the year.  We love having friends over and entertaining outside so the adults can eat/talk and the kiddos can play in the yard!  I wanted to add some comfort and decor, but didn’t want to spend a ton of money so I went to one of my favorite places to find everything I needed….T.J.Maxx!  They seriously have the most amazing decor that won’t break the bank (yall know I love the look for less) and you can shop everything ONLINE (entire source list below)!!!  Did yall know that?  You don’t have to go to the store and shop around….you can do everything from the comfort of your own home at tjmaxx.com.  How amazing is that?! Beautiful items, amazing prices and super convenient…win, win, win!

Spring Patio Makeover

I love pillows!  They add a large impact, are not expensive and you can change them out easily to change the entire look of a space!  Tjmaxx.com has the most amazing quality pillows.  They are large, plush and all of the ones I chose were down filled.  These particular pillows are not “outdoor pillows“, but we have a large covered patio so they don’t get wet or anything.  I am loving blues and greys lately and these pillows were exactly what I was looking for.  The Ikat and dots (similar) add color and pattern that really brighten up the space!  I still need to add a rug, but I’m holding out until I find exactly what I am looking for.  Tjmaxx.com is constantly getting 100s of new arrivals each week so I can just hop online real quick and see the latest.  Such a time saver!

I love a good serving tray.  They are pretty and super functional.  Cut up some yummy fruit, add some drinks and it is very easy to carry from inside to out so you can enjoy some treats!  This clear acrylic (similar) tray with gold handles is so pretty and very durable for outdoors.

Bar carts make great extra storage for an outdoor space.  You have extra shelves to store what you need and it wheels around so you can move it to different areas if your guests move.  Our patio is divided in 2 “sections”.  The cozy area with these chairs/sofa and then we have a “dining” area with a large table and chairs.  This cart will be super functional because it can come with us as the party moves.

I just had to focus on the pillows one more time….I mean how beautiful are they?  I grouped them all together so you can see the color and the textures.  The polka dot pillows (similar…grey color) are reversible so one side the background is blue/dots white….and the other side is the opposite!

Welcome to the “dining section” of our patio.  This is where we like to entertain when the weather is nice.  When I saw this chalkboard sign I had to have it.  How funny is that?! “Cocktails, because no great story ever started with a salad”.

I like a simple centerpiece so it is pretty, but can be moved easily if we need the space on the table.  These LED candle lanterns are perfect because at night they add nice light and the topiary is so pretty.  It was bigger than I expected and looks so real!  I love a plant that is no maintenance and this does the job.  The rose gold metallic base also really caught my eye.

How adorable is this cheese board?!  I love marble and wood mixture and its perfect for some snacks while enjoying our cocktails!

We have already been enjoying our new patio…just had dinner out there last night.  It is amazing how a few new touches can transform the entire space.  Hope you enjoyed our Spring patio makeover and I highly recommend shopping online at Tjmaxx.com!  They have brand name items at the best prices, you get free shipping when you spend $89+, you can return anything to the store so you don’t have to mess with return labels, etc. and they constantly get new items.  I love hopping on and seeing the great new finds….it is like a treasure hunt!

Below is the entire source list from my Spring patio makeover.  Hope you find some amazing things to update your home or your wardrobe…they have great clothes/accessories too!

When designing our home I pulled inspiration from all over! Pinterest, Instagram, magazine, design books, etc. we had this long spot in our front entry that we were trying to figure out and when I saw this image (swipe to see) in @gilschaferthearchitect ‘s book it stopped me in my tracks. I loved the use of transoms and designated spaces. My architect @josephpaulhomes & his wife Michelle helped pull the whole look together. So happy with how it turned out.

My grandfather owned a grocery store in New Jersey. The scale hanging from the ceiling in our butler’s pantry was the scale in his store. My uncle had it for the longest time & gifted it to me when we moved into this home. I love it so much!! My mom has the cash register he used in his store in her home. I love decorating with items that have meaning & that tell a story.

I love hallways & nooks. They are a great way to add interest to your home. Natural light & details are key. This space connects our hearth room to the gameroom. The Dutch door goes out to our courtyard, the room at the end is my office and the door to the left (just out of the photo) goes to the pool bath. Lots going on in this space.
I saw this floor pattern in a design book & had to have it somewhere in our home. I love it so much!

Bathrooms are such a fun space to make bold choices. They are small so every decision & detail makes a big impact. Still in love with this wallpaper from @wallpapersgalore_

✨REMODEL UPDATE: FAMILY ROOM✨

This family room had good bones, but we needed to declutter , maximize storage, update furnishings & make the space more functional.

➡️ swipe to see before & after photos

There was a wall of shelves that was just too much. We purged and decorated with items that she loved & had sentimental value. So many homes are built with tons of open shelving and you have to be really careful in these spaces because they can become a spot for clutter instead of being intentional. 
•added cabinet doors to 2 sections of shelves for some much-needed hidden storage.
•utilized the shelving that was separate from the other ones to make a designated bar space that is intentional and great for entertaining.
•found an gorgeous antique bar back to go against the wall that again is used as a bar when they entertain. Previously, it was a huge bench that took up width, but added no height to the wall. This is a major focal point in this space so we made it both functional and beautiful.
• I am not a huge fan of sectional couches unless they are in very specific areas. I think sometimes when people have a big room, they look for a big furniture to take up the space but it doesn’t actually give you the most seating and the spacing is sometimes awkward. They still really wanted a leather couch in there so we kept that, but then used more tailored chairs to frame the space.
• found this gorgeous coffee table on Facebook marketplace. Such a find!
•Removed the huge windmill fan that really took away from the gorgeous architecture of the ceiling with the beams.
•filled in dead space with functional furniture, like a cute table perfect for  game night.
•scaled back the TV so it made more sense over the fireplace and went with a frame one so there could be pretty art up there as it is a main focal point. (Art was off in this photo, but typically it looks like a vintage painting)

So excited with how this space turned out. It’s lighter, brighter, more functional & a better use of space. They have walls of windows along the back of the house with a beautiful view and now you’re able to focus on that more.

✨REMODEL UPDATE: DAUGHTER’S BATHROOM ✨

Throughout this remodel you will see two constant goals…brighten up the spaces & add functional storage. This bathroom was dark & dated. We took everything out and had a fresh start.

•New paint, wallpaper, tile, fixtures, lighting, etc.
•Raised the height of the counters & some additional cabinetry extending up to the ceiling for much needed storage. 
•Added cute details to the side of the counters
•Removed the tub & added a glass door to the shower to make the space feel bigger & more open.

This sweet girl has brought us so much joy! We are “foster failures” & couldn’t be happier about it. Callie has been the best addition to our family.
Chat GPT made this cute art from our Christmas picture of her. She was living her best life with all the ribbon from the presents.

I love a mudroom! I don’t care what size house I live in from here on out I’ll always have some “mudroom” space…even if it’s a tiny little spot. It’s so great to have a drop zone to keep organized. This space got lots of use during our ice storm with all the wet shoes, etc & these brick floors were great!!

Feels strange getting back to work this week. We’ve been living in PJs and been asking what day it was for about a week now. Snowmageddon 2026 was fun & we still have piles of ice on the ground….BUT nice to go back to a bit of a routine. January felt like 47 days 🤪
