My husband and I honeymooned in South Africa and it was there I decided future Baby Braun would have a safari-inspired nursey. Anchored by sand-colored walls, beaded and jute-wrapped chandelier, heavy burlap cotton curtains, and rich dark hardwood flooring, the nursery is perfect for both girl or boy. The safari animal rug offers subtle pops of color while remaining neutral. The Facebook Marketplace find dresser and end table were refinished in a sage green as a nod to both nature and to tie into the remainder of the home. Needless to say, we brought the safari home with us to welcome our first child.

I love making inspiration boards, even more so when I am making one to propose home projects to my husband, Kevin. (I know, poor Kevin.) Recently, Kevin and I added a new rescue to our family, Ellie Mae. She is full of life, personality, and so much more energy than Bear. With the addition of another pup, I’ve been thinking incessantly about getting our backyard fenced-in and updating our outdoor space. Inspiration boards allow me to convey lofty designs into tangible, realistic plans on paper. It’s exciting to hunt for “just the right” product to complete the look you have mentally created and watch the plan unfold and take shape.
Here’s the plan: We currently have a wood deck patio we built over an existing slab of concrete. To the right of the deck, I am proposing a Oyster Shell Tabby Patio with Firepit. Surrounding the Firepit, two existing wood adirondack chairs and adding two wood rocking chairs. On the wood deck, remove the existing dining table and matching benches, which we rarely use, and replace with an outdoor conversation set which is more practical and useable. Both options above are made by Better Homes and Garden. The top option still leaves standing room around the deck whereas the bottom option is utilizing deck space for maximized outdoor seating. Personally, I’m leaning toward the second option but that’s a decision Kevin and I will have to discuss.
Want the look?
Patio: Coastal Landscape Design
Rockers: Coral Coast Indoor/Outdoor Mission Slat Rocking Chair, $133.34
Outdoor Sofa: Better Homes & Gardens Camrose Farmhouse Outdoor Conversation Set, $576.00; Better Homes & Gardens Davenport 7-Piece Woven Outdoor Sectional Set, $589.00; Better Homes & Gardens Davenport 3 Piece Outdoor Chat Set, $249.00

Summer is upon us so let’s bust out the tools and create the ultimate kid-friendly outdoor playspace! Allow your child’s imagination to run wild with an outdoor playhouse equipped with inexpensive outdoor furniture and finishes from Ikea or Walmart Don’t hesitate to include rope ladders and climbing walls to help develop upper and lower body muscular endurance, strength, and coordination. Add educational elements to teach and reinforce colors, numbers, letters, spelling, reading, writing, and drawing. How about an outdoor reading nook? Add a waterproof container to house some of your child’s favorite books to encourage and support reading all summer long.
What are some “must have” components you would add to your child’s outdoor playspace?
