Refresh your porch for spring
Spring Porch Refresh: Cozy Vibes with Faux Greenery and Rocking Chairs
Spring is finally here, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably been itching to give your porch a little love. After months of cold weather and gray skies, it’s time to bring some life (and color!) back to our outdoor spaces. The good news? You don’t need a full renovation—just a few simple updates can totally transform your porch into the perfect springtime hangout.
Let’s talk about a few easy ways to refresh your porch and make it feel warm and welcoming.
1. Faux Plants for the Win
Look, I love real plants as much as the next person, but I also love not watering things. Faux plants have come a long way and can seriously pass for the real deal. Try adding a couple of faux ferns or trailing ivy in cute planters. You get all the green without the upkeep. Win-win.
2. Wreath It Up
A spring wreath is like a smile for your front door. Whether you go with something floral, leafy, or even a combo of both, it sets the tone and adds a pop of color right at eye level.
3. Black Rocking Chairs = Instant Charm
There’s something timeless about a pair of black rocking chairs on the porch. They add that classic look but still feel fresh and modern. Throw a patterned pillow or a soft throw on them and boom—instant cozy corner. Perfect for sipping coffee in the morning or winding down with a book in the evening.
4. Layer in Some Textures
Think outdoor rugs, woven baskets, maybe even a lantern or two. Layering different textures makes your space feel lived-in and inviting without going over the top.
5. Keep It Chill
You don’t have to go overboard. A few thoughtful pieces can totally shift the vibe. Focus on what makes you feel relaxed and happy—that’s what spring is all about anyway.
So there you have it. A mini porch makeover that’s low stress but high on charm. Grab a glass of lemonade, kick back in your new favorite rocking chair, and enjoy those longer days.

Family Pizza Night: Outdoor Dining Done Right!
I love any excuse to create a beautiful tablescape, and what better occasion than a family pizza night? With the warm weather calling, I decided to set up a cozy outdoor dinner on our back patio furniture. It was the perfect way to get everyone involved and enjoy good food and a relaxed evening outdoors.
Setting the Table
I started by setting the outdoor table with some of my absolute favorite pieces:
Adorable floral napkin rings
The exact versions of some of the items I used are currently out of stock, but I’ve curated plenty of similar inspiration on my Amazon Storefront! Be sure to check it out for more great finds.
Of course, in a last-minute mom moment, I swapped out the napkins because let’s be real—pizza, a three-year-old, and white napkins don’t exactly mix!
Pizza Making Fun
Once the table was set, it was time to make our pizzas! We started by prepping everything on my favorite thick, large cutting board. Then, we transferred our handmade pizzas onto our pizza paddle and placed them into our outdoor pizza oven .
This setup made the whole night feel extra special and interactive. There’s something so fun about watching the pizza cook right before your eyes! We all had a blast crafting our perfect pies, and we’re already looking forward to the next pizza night.
