My favorite affordable summer patio finds
Summer is right around the corner which means one thing: PATIO SEASON (as an avid s’mores aficionado this is quite literally my favorite time of year). I always love this time of year as I know it is the beginning of tons of time outdoors soaking up the sun, enjoying barbecues with friends and family, and of course fires outside each night.
If you missed it, we actually have some really exciting news- we are adding another project under our belt this year (in addition to finishing up the Barndo) by adding a pool and pool house to our home. My twin brothers recently started a business, Twin Crest Construction, and they are actually doing the project for us! Included in our plans is a pool and a pool house with a loft for storage for pool equipment and an incredible entertaining space as we love to entertain! We are planning to have a mini fridge, cabinets, and tons of space for crockpots and all of the other yummy poolside snacks you can think of! We are also including a bathroom so guests are able to easily change in and out of their suits and access a bathroom without needing to go into the main house. Definitely follow along this exciting and fun journey with us!
We are SO excited for this project as our family truly loves being outdoors. Luckily, when we built our house a few years ago we purchased some really incredible furniture that we have gotten to enjoy every spring, summer and fall, and the furniture has held up WONDERFULLY! I figured with patio season right around the corner I would round up some of my favorite outdoor furniture finds that I think would make the perfect addition to your porch or patio to enjoy with your friends and family all summer long! As an added bonus, these furniture finds are all budget friendly and affordable!

These chairs are INCREDIBLE! These have lasted us 3.5 years and still look BRAND NEW! They have exceeded all of our expectations and the best part- they are less than $100.00 a piece!
If you have outdoor furniture, then you know how important it is to have some high quality furniture covers to protect it, especially if you live in Ohio like me. These covers are AMAZING and have managed to keep all of our furniture covered and protected from the harsh winters we typically have.
This umbrella has been one of my absolute favorite parts of our patio and has made our s’mores corner so cozy! This is such a perfect addition to your patio or porch to take it to the next level. It has a 6 height and angle to choose from and has a 360 rotation capability for easier shading area control. It is UV resistant, water repellent and it is colorfast fadeless.
*If you plan to purchase this amazing umbrella, you do also need to purchase the base as well, as that does not come with it. Please find the base here.
If you are looking for a super affordable planter for your patio and porch- look no further! This planter comes in many colors, and comes in a variety of sizes!
This rug has truly transformed our front porch! I absolutely LOVE the design of this rug, and it is nonshedding which is an added bonus! This was part of my Pottery Barn inspired look-for-less porch refresh, and I cannot say enough good things about it! This is the perfect addition to your spring and summer porch refresh!
When I decided to do a porch refresh, I was on the hunt for some beautiful faux ferns to fill the planters and these have exceeded all of my expectations! Not only are these super budget friendly, they’re also high quality. These paired with the planter are truly a match made in heaven and are a fraction of the cost of the designer inspired looked I was going for!
Boxwoods and Square Vase
I have always loved boxwoods, and this year I decided to try them out on our porch when doing our refresh. These are such a fun, easy, no maintenance option for decorating your porch to enjoy all spring, summer and fall! These can truly transform your patio or porch refresh and add a nice finishing touch.
These are such a game changer for storing your outdoor patio furniture cushions, and if you’re a parent, they’re a great way to store outdoor toys! These have lasted us 3.5 years and we are always grateful to have an aesthetically pleasing way to accommodate our need for storage!
I know this one may sound silly, but we LOVE entertaining our friends and family and having to have our guests go inside to dispose of their trash or depend on a rouge trash bag outside to throw out trash just wasn’t cutting it. So, I headed to Amazon and stumbled upon this awesome outdoor trash can! We also spend tons of time outside as a family all summer long and having a trash can readily available to throw away empty snacks, juice boxes or other trash makes spending time outside with the kids much easier as I don’t have to worry about messes being left outside!
I hope you all enjoy these affordable spring and summer patio finds, please let me know if you end up trying any of them out, and of course, let me know some of your favorite finds for spring and summer! We love trying new things, and especially while we are in the process of expanding our outdoor space we are definitely going to be in the market for some new finds!
