You may remember earlier this year when I listed out some goals that I had for 2015. Well working with brands that aligned with the mission behind this blog was definitely on the list. And would you know it, not even a week after publishing that post, I was contacted by Home Depot to participate in their 2015 Patio Style Challenge!! What?? Me?? I don't have a million followers and don't consider myself a pro. My husband said I was crazy for questioning myself so of course I was totally all in.

Fast forward a month or so after I agreed to participate, I was sent the Hampton Bay Pembrey 7-piece Patio Dining Set. This set is beautiful, yall. I must admit that I was stumped as to my design approach because I never thought about designing an outdoor space, and definitely never considered a dining set. Mainly, I was stumped because if you remember, this was the space I had to work with.





I put together a mock designed space based on the elements I felt was important.



A few posts back, I talked to you guys about the elements I wanted to incorporate. Any who, without further ado, here is our new patio space.









I hope you guys enjoyed taking a look at the space. Now, if it will stop raining in Atlanta,  I can actually enjoy it. You can check out my post and tutorials on the cooler and succulent shelf on the Home Depot Apron Blog. Check it out here! I will be back soon to show you how we went about staining our deck on our own.

Until next time!
