Is it too late in the year to share a summer evening bridal shower?! haha! What is kind of sad about this is that I actually threw it last summer, so yeah like over a year ago… I was waiting for the right time to share it this year but then whoops its already autumn! So I decided to just share it anyway for fear of it being to passe to share next year haha.

What’s good about it though, is like, well, everything. So I’m hoping that the little-too-lateness will be made up for with some dreamy florals, twinkle lights, and food in this pink and rose gold bridal shower!

DIY Outdoor Rug with Spray Paint and Stencil Revolution

Make your own DIY Outdoor Rug with Spray Paint and Stencil with a little spray paint, and an awesome stencil from Stencil Revolution!

DIY Outdoor Rug with Spray Paint & Stencil

In the new DIY outdoor seating area I shared the other week, I featured this new rug which was actually a DIY! Outdoor rugs can be expensive and hard to find (just like indoor rugs!) and so when I saw this one at Costco earlier in the season for less than $20, I snatched it up! At the time, I had no idea it’d turn into this beauty! In fact, I had no idea it’d have such a lovely deck to sit on top either! As I mentioned in that post, the deck sort of just came together last minute and I decided that all the beautiful furniture I got, from Article, needed to have a prettier rug than just a simple ribbed gray one.

So, when I got an email from Stencil Revolution, I knew exactly where I would use one of their amazing designs! I knew it wouldn’t be hard to make my own DIY outdoor rug with spray paint and stencil! And it wasn’t! It only took me maybe 30 minutes and 2 cans of spray paint. Now I have a large outdoor rug, 6×9, for about $40! The price makes me happy, and the finished design does too!

Modern Tropical 80th Birthday Party

This modern tropical 80th birthday party features shades of blue and green, a fab balloon arch, and some subtle tropical elements like palm leaves, pineapples, and coconuts.

About a month and a half ago, our dad turned 80! Can you believe that?! Well, you probably can, seeing as how you barely know us :’D But, if you did, you’d be blown away by that! Our dad is about the age of all our peer’s grandparents. And honestly, in better shape than all of them. (click “read more” to see a pic of him to prove it!).

Every summer, we have a little family time down in Saint George, Utah. We hang out together in a condo for a few days, swim a lot, eat a lot, go see some shows at Tuachan, and basically, just relax! This year, since that was happening only a couple weeks after our dad’s 80th birthday, we decided to throw him a party while we were there!

We were lucky enough to have all of our immediate family together, for the first time in at least 5 years. We have a bit of a mixed family, with some half siblings and step-siblings, 9 kids total. And so we rarely ever see each other all together. We decided this summer was a good time to make that happen and I decided it was a good time for me to finally try the epitome of current party decor trends: the balloon arch!

A little over 3 years ago, I grabbed one of my cutest vintage handkerchiefs, folded it up, slid it into a headband and popped it on my 1 year old daughter. It made the cutest bow ever! I was absolutely in love with the colors, design, flounce! I embarked on a journey then to create a line of adorable handmade vintage hairbows.

Ever since we moved into our house, I have had the dream of a deck. We have this grassy space right outside the sliding glass doors to our living room that is perfect for a deck but up until about 2 weeks ago, it was just looking really ragged and empty. Last year, I dreamed up a floating deck for the area but knew even at the time that it would not happen that summer, there were too many other projects to finish up! Honestly, I didn’t think it’d ever happen. But, suddenly, all the pieces aligned this summer and I decided to just go for it!

I’m excited to share more about this DIY deck in a couple weeks. I want to give it some time and use before I share how I built it, to see how durable it actually is. In that time, I’ll be testing it out by hanging out in my new outdoor seating area featuring possibly my most favorite chairs I’ve ever seen! Meet the Daisy Lounge Chair from Article.

Seriously if these aren’t the perfect mix of classy yet modern, durable yet gorgeous then I don’t know what is!! Somehow they seamlessly go with every type of decor: Midcentury. Minimal. Bohemian. They go with neutrals and bolds, pastels, and rainbows. I could literally incorporate these chairs into every party I’ve ever thrown and there has been a WIDE array of styles there!
