and I couldn't be happier because the weather is finally warming up which means we can spend more time outside and start

entertaining

and just enjoying the outdoor space. happy I can't wait to put the space together it's in ruins right now we have a lot of work to do but it's going to look beautiful and when you're done with this video I hope this video gives you some ideas and ways. that you can set up your outdoor space make it warm and cozy so you can entertain your family and your friends and everything.

I found a couple new pieces to add to my porch. I've gotten pretty much everything from Walmart over the years because it's affordable. comfortable and it's really cute and I found a couple of

entertaining

pieces that I want to share with you especially for the summer when you're hosting and they're really great options and they're really versatile so you can wear them indoors and outdoors. which I love so yeah I have a lot to share with you so let me show you a couple of new things that I have and then we'll get to work in the yard very excited to share with you a couple of entertaining items that I have.

I bought them at Walmart and I want to thank you for sponsoring this part of today's video. I found that these beautiful cutting boards are not so beautiful, they come in a set of two, they are for time and table and they have some There are different options but I like this one because you can embellish it or string it, but I think they are really pretty and you can use them for a delicatessen. You can use them as decorative serving trays indoors and outdoors, so this one below is really versatile. The item is a multifunctional tool for your kitchen.

It's from the beautiful Drew Barrymore line at Walmart. I don't know if you've seen the line, but there are a lot of different colors, so if you want something with a pop of color, you've got it. or if you want a neutral they have it but I really wanted the black just because I like the way it stands out with my white kitchen but I have the hand mixer here so you just line the piece up and it screws in tight so you can You can make this for soups, but it comes with this glass that you can then mix with this lid on the bottom, so if you're traveling it's perfect, it covers it all the way to the top and then you can take everything with you because it's not very big. at all and I told you it was multifunctional so this piece comes off and then you can put the other item on it right here and then you can mix it which is better but you can separate the whisk and then put it here and you can cut items with it this way, it's a very good tool because it works for multiple different things, but you can make sauces, drinks, soups with it, it's really cool, nice image for drinks, this one is beautiful, I love the curved detail, well, this one. it actually comes with six cups, look how tall they are, well they're really tall cups and they're a nice thick glass which is something I like, they're a little bit thinner so they're great for drinks and stuff things, and they're just a really nice presentation, simple but really functional and, again, you can use them all year round, not just during the summer, so they're a nice basic piece, but it comes with six cups, which I like a lot.

There is something else you can get. The entertainment outside is the little tents you can put over the food, which is great for keeping bugs away. That way you can entertain yourself and not have extra critters in your food. The next item I purchased is actually for my kids, who love it. draw, so I found this really cool desk lamp at Walmart and I really liked it because you can maneuver it in different directions, the light head rotates all around and it's just a simple click of a button so you can zoom it in or out.

I don't want it, they have some really cute options. Yes, I'll leave everything linked to the description box below. If you're on your desktop, it'll just be the side arrow if you're on your phone, or tap the More button right next to it. to the title, it will all appear there for you and I will also link these items in the comments so they are easy to find, but we have a lot of work to do outside. I can't wait to get to the porch. everything decorated so we can start enjoying it right now looks like a mess, so I have to be a bit foreign, just put everything to the side that way I can blow it all up and give it a nice clean slate, there are a lot of cobwebs. and dead bugs everywhere thank you it's hot in the sun but in the shade I'm cold so I put my jacket and gloves back on but at least we're not like in winter clothes you know this is like a normal

spring

year now it's fun.

In the part that we can configure the garden furniture and find out which design we like best, we can continue changing them, it's no big deal. I usually change it two or three times depending on how I want to set it up and stuff like that, but yeah. The foreigner came from Walmart and when I bought it it came with the two round tables. Well, now they sell a square table that can go with it and these ottomans, which is great, so I want to pick one of those up and add it because you can never have enough table space.

I feel like I'm in a playground between games and entertainment. You need that extra space. You know, thank you. I left a pretty good space behind these chairs because they swivel all the way around, which is great for conversation, but I also want to leave enough room, so if I want to add a console table here to hold drinks and food and things, I can do that and you can still swivel. and people can still walk around here and it doesn't impede anyone's space, so think about that. As I was planning the layout of his

patio

space and what I wanted to have when we expanded our patio last year, it made such a difference to the area that we were able to really entertain because we also expanded the concrete and I'm so happy we did that.

I did it even though when it snows the wind comes in because the ceilings are quite high, it keeps it from raining for the most part unless the wind comes in, but I really love being able to create a nice cozy place where we can enjoy and see everything, and that is One of the reasons I like swivel chairs is because we can turn them in any direction we want and they are very comfortable and they also swing so if you are looking for a good patio set I will leave this one linked below for It's wonderful, they sell it just a sofa and then also the swivel chairs or you can buy the complete set together.

It completely depends on you. The foreign patio set has covers for all the cushions so you can easily wash them and I also have the distressed covers that come with it so you get a completely waterproof cover that covers everything. I used those the first year before we had our patio completely covered, so I definitely recommend them, but you just have to keep an eye out for bugs. because they also like to hide underneath, thank you. I've been trying to remember everywhere. I stuffed my pillows to get them through the winter because I put some in the bin and some I just put a cake in the garage because last year I had a mouse, you know, it eats some of mine, so I figured I wouldn't risk it this year, but Now trying to find them has been fun, but these all came from Walmart too.

This is part of the Dave and Jenny line. Home and Gardens Best Home and Gardens um all of these and the good thing is that they have um they are covers so you can wash them really well, isn't that so amazing? I totally forgot I had that in the garage and it adds a lot. I like the height around here, but just some life in the corner. I think one or two fun signs would be nice here or something, but maybe I'll do it in the summer. I have to be attentive. These are also from Walmart and they come in three different sizes so this is the tall one and there is a medium and a small this is the tall one there is a medium and then there is also a smaller one a little thinner they are not pretty they are like Stone but I don't They are and I thought they would be very, very pretty, they are very tall, foreign, they have great outdoor planters, furniture, it's like the one stop shop for you, and also for entertaining things, when some flowers finally come out in the stores, when they finally the flowers come out.

When you go out to the store, I'll probably put some real flowers in here because it has a drainage plug at the bottom, but to create some extra height, they put them in to separate the pots. I like to use them to put the Other Plants on the first extra height too, so for now, since we're still waiting for those fresh plants, we'll use fake plants for now. I know some people don't like that, but you know how pretty they look all year round. They've done very well, they don't fade and I'm happy with them, so they add a little color to the porch and stuff without having to worry about watering it or outside.

This flower pot is in the outside hallway. It comes in two different sizes, so if you want a smaller one, they have it, but what I like about this planter is that it has a stopper, so not only can you plant plants in it, but you can also put ice and drinks in it and keep them cold, so it's a really nice thing. It is also versatile for your decoration. I bought these flowers at Walmart, as well as a set of hydrangeas, Dogwood, and then this purple lavender. You will only get a foam block and some scissors, but you can glue the foam block, but I wanted to. show you how easy it is to create a beautiful centerpiece that is affordable and gives a pop of color so all I'm doing is cutting the hydrangeas and you're going to start with a triangle shape okay so make your triangle and then make a wider triangle on the outside area, basically starting with something in the middle and then something on the outside, alternating them, okay, so you have those spaces, don't worry, we'll fill them in and then you'll take the next one. twig that's like the last lavender that they have, you can cut them, which I'll show you, but if you don't want to cut them, you can just separate them, spread them out and push them down and then I can weave it into the hydrangeas and then I'm going to cut the next one so I can put the pieces exactly where I want them, but these were two dollars a piece, the hydrangeas were three dollars and the Dogwood was also three dollars.

They are very pretty. I thought they would match really well and I'm always drawn to purple. I've said it before, but when choosing artificial flowers look for variation and the color helps them look more realistic. and that's one of the reasons I chose those hydrangeas, Dogwood adds that lightness to break them up and then you have the lighter lavender purple there and again the different textures compare very well together so here I put a sort of in the middle and then I'm just going around the outside edge and tucking them in and creating that visual appearance of height and depth that adds and then you can abdomen anywhere that you feel like it might be a little empty and I still have a couple of hydrangeas.

The heads on this one are a bush, so you'll just cut them off and then put them in as filler, but look how pretty everything turned out, now take a look at it and make sure it's more balanced the way you want it. They're just three different flowers and I think they go together really well if you want a little bit more greenery put the Greenery hydrangea back in there and you can stick it in just leave it but it keeps it very simple and then you can use it indoors and outdoors like well , now these chairs are actually going to another area of ​​our garden with a fire pit, but it's currently in the snow, so until then I'll leave them here at the end, just give them a good cleaning so we can still sit on them and enjoy them , they are actually quite comfortable.

I really hope you enjoyed coming and
