Happy Spring, friends! Cameron and I have been hard at work on cleaning up our yard this month from all the winter debris and with that came some redecorating! I decided to start with our back patio which needed a little sprucing up.
We live in a small coastal town in Connecticut in a classic farmhouse that was built in 1795. Being so close to the water has inspired a lot of my decorating in our home. When I saw the Coastal Sea Gems trend at The Christmas Tree Shops, I just knew it would go well with our home’s aesthetic.
So without further ado, here is the before photo ( a photo from this fall!)
annnnd here is the after photo below!
There were so many cute coastal options at CTS that worked for our patio, but these ones stood out the most. The items were all very reasonably priced and I was able to purchase more for less!

I already owned the white wicker patio furniture, the plant in the corner, and the rugs (the navy one is a rug from last season at CTS) but everything else is from the Christmas Tree Shops! I really like how the coastal decor goes with the old white wicker set. I’m a sucker for a cute coastal cottage aesthetic!

I gravitated to the light blues and whites and found a lot of cute outdoor seat cushions and pillow options while shopping. The seashell pillow was darling!
I also added in lots of wicker elements to make it feel natural. The whale is probably my favorite find – I love how sweet it is and the size is just right for that corner!

I mixed in our seashells from our beach walks with the coastal decor that I picked up and I really like how it gives it an old meets new feeling. What do you think?


I’m so excited to partner with The Christmas Tree Shops this spring to share the Coastal Sea Gems trend on our back patio. I really love how it turned out! It feels really happy and fresh. I can almost smell the salty air from here! 😉

I hope you enjoyed taking a peak at our back patio spring makeover! What is your favorite piece from the Coastal Sea Gems collection at The Christmas Tree Shops?
