[Music] hi sweet friends welcome back today we are heading outside to our back deck i can’t wait to just decorate it for summer get it nice and clean so we can enjoy it the rest of the season if you are new hello my name is Amy and welcome here i hope you enjoy your time here now we will be doing some cleaning and just some planting of some flowers on the first day and then the second day we’ll do a little bit more tidying up and then we’ll decorate the space so I hope that you’re looking forward to it and get some new ideas that maybe you can use for your homes all right friends well let’s go ahead and get started we have lots to get done i hope you enjoy before we get started today I wanted to share a few quick shots of our deck space since our deck is so high off the ground it’s really difficult to carry the furniture down the stairs each year so we just leave everything up here through the winter thankfully this set which we picked up from Sam’s Club about 3 years ago came with furniture covers and they’ve done a pretty good job protecting everything from the elements now that spring is here though you can see there’s definitely some clean up to be done between the dust pollen and few bird droppings everything needs a good wash although this outdoor rug is still in pretty good shape I actually have another spot in mind for it this year so with the help of my hubby Scott we’re rolling it up taking it off the deck and moving the furniture to one side to get everything prepped for power washing [Music] i’m also going to be saying goodbye to an old set of chairs believe it or not they’ve been with us for over 20 years it’s definitely time for an upgrade and I found a beautiful set from TJ Maxx that I fell in love with that I just can’t wait to share with you a little later in today’s video since I already dragged up the power washer to clean the deck I figured it was also a good idea to go ahead and spray down our siding and patio door before jumping into the deck cleaning it’s one of those quick tasks that make a big difference and it’s nice to knock it out while everything is already set up the weather forecast for today called for just an 8% chance of showers highs in the 70s and a gentle breeze and despite those slightly intimidating clouds in the background it actually did turn out to be the perfect day to be outside today I’ll only be using the power washer on its lowest setting that’s really important when working with the wood surfaces like this because too much pressure can actually damage the grain strip the finish or even splinter the boards a gentle but thorough rinse is all it needs to get it looking fresh and clean again [Music] you’ll have to let me know surely I’m not the only one that enjoys this process there’s just something so satisfying and rewarding about power washing seeing all that build-up dirt and grime wash away instantly makes it feel like a productive and refreshing start to the season also just to mention last year we reained the deck so if you’re interested in seeing how we tackled that project along with all the tips and tricks that we shared along the way I’ll go ahead and link that video down below for [Music] you now that the deck is all cleaned and drying off we took a little trip to our local Lowe’s to check out all the beautiful flowers there is always so many great options this time of the year and it’s honestly hard to choose but after browsing for a bit I finally made my selections and her trunk was soon filled with a colorful assortment of flowers all ready to be planted i also found the most gorgeous stone pots at TJ Maxx that I couldn’t pass up they’re going to make such an eye-catching focal point on the deck for my larger pots I like to fill the bottoms with the empty plastic nursery pots from the plants it’s a simple trick that makes the containers a bit lighter cuts down on how much potting soil you’ll need and reduces waste which is a win-win i’ve also found that it really helps with drainage keeping the roots from getting too soggy i like to change up my flora selections each year and experiment a little to see what does best it’s such a fun creative outlet and I love watching everything grow and fill in over the season since our deck gets a hot afternoon sun choosing full sun varieties is a must this year I went with a color palette of purples yellows whites and pinks so cheerful and vibrant i also love planting full arrangements right from the start for my larger pots I like to follow the classic thriller filler spiller method something tall in the center to add height and drama mounding flowers to fill in around it and trailing plants that spill over the edges for that lush overflowing look [Music] of course always by my side is my sweet fur baby Night Lash she’s always such a great little helper or at least she thinks she is every now and then again she sneaks up and snatches a glove a small tool or in our case today one of the plastic nursery pots and takes off running with pure excitement she definitely keeps us on our toes and adds a bit of fun and laughter to the whole process i’m also really excited to use my new garden tool set that I just picked up from Target it’s the little things that just makes the whole process feel more enjoyable if you happen to miss my last video we took a look around Target’s new summer patio and gardening section along with the latest Hearth and Hand with Magnolia summer collection they had some really beautiful items and a lot of it was 30% off which is perfect if you’re looking to refresh your outdoor spaces this season i’d love for you to check it out if you haven’t already [Music] [Music] [Music] i’ll go ahead and arrange a couple of other planters off camera and you’ll see how I decorate with those a little later on and that pretty much wraps up day one now it’s the very next morning and we’re picking things back up i did have Scott help carry up the larger planters honestly even with less potting soil in the bottom they were still pretty heavy so just a little tip if you can I definitely recommend planting your larger pots right where you plan to display them it’ll save your back and make things a whole lot easier to start things off today I’m using my favorite glass cleaner the Sprayway brand it’s seriously the best a quick wipe down of the patio door it instantly brightens up the space letting more natural light shine through and making everything feel so much cleaner and more refreshed it’s one of those simple steps that really pulls the whole space together i am so excited to finally lay out the new rug i actually picked this one up during the Weday sale it’s from the Amber Lewis and Lloy collab and I absolutely love the style and texture it brings to the space if I can find a link for it I’ll be sure to include it down below along with any other items I decorate with today just in case you’re interested just a quick note

improving my content i truly appreciate it when you take the time to shop through these provided links it means so much to me and I thank you [Music] [Music] [Music] now it’s time to get the furniture back in place i like to position the edges of both swivel chairs and the sofa so that they sit on the rug it helps to ground the seating area and gives the whole space a more cohesive intentional look even though the chairs have been mostly covered except for the occasional warm day when we pulled them off to sit they still needed a quick dusting off so this is also a great time to flip and rotate the cushions doing this helps ensure even wear on both sides which can really extend the life of your furniture and keep everything looking fresh for even longer [Music] when I flipped the seat cushions over I did notice a couple of spots on the fabric so to take care of them quickly I’m using my favorite spot and stain remover from Bissell it’s actually designed for use in portable cleaners but I found it works great as a quick spot treatment too just a small amount and a little scrubbing does the trick [Music] [Music] once that was all finished I took a moment to wipe down the top of the coffee table it was completely covered in pollen it seems like everything outside has been coated lately have you been dealing with this too in your area now moving on another recent find that I couldn’t pass up was this sage green outdoor beastro set from TJ Maxx as soon as I saw it I knew it had to come home with me the color is just perfect for our space and adds such a charming cozy touch to the [Music] deck above the seating area I’m adding back the sun-shaped clock and thermometer to the siding using a simple siding hook no tools needed which makes it so easy its placement is perfect too especially when grilling since it gives us a quick and easy way to check the time when cooking [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] heat [Music] heat heat heat [Music] [Music] [Music] so after adding the final cozy touches with pillows and flowers our summer 2025 deck space is officially finished it’s all clean refreshed and fully decorated out of the corner of my eye I caught the sweetest moment with Nyla she was sitting so pretty just soaking it all in i asked her to shake and of course she did so I gave her a little treat moments like these just make my heart so full the final thing I’ll do today is crank out this shade umbrella grab the devotional I’m currently going through for a second time sip on a cup of coffee and snack on a made good granola bar and just sit back relax and soak in this beautiful weather while taking in all the hard work that went into making this space feel like a summer retreat [Music] all right sweet friends that pretty much wraps up the decorating out on our front deck for summer i hope that you enjoyed it i really love how it turned out i just can’t wait to go out and sit relax hang out with my family and make lots of special memories this summer now as we end our time together I love to share a daily Bible verse so today I’m going to be reading from Psalm 27 verse 4 one thing I ask of the Lord this is what I seek that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all of the days of my life to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple well I thank you all so much for watching remember if you did enjoy it
