Outdoor living is where it’s at this summer, am I right? During the pandemic, everyone embraced the outdoors, and I don’t think that’s going to stop anytime soon. Personally, now that I have a balcony, I am somewhat obsessed with checking out all the things to put out there. I have to keep saying to myself, Tori, it’s not a huge balcony, you cannot fit all this stuff out there! Yet, I keep looking at all this cool stuff I want. I thought, what a great blog post idea…

1. Amazon – Bright Zeal 20′ Long 30 LED Lanterns String Lights Battery Powered | 2. Amazon – GENIMO 9’x18′ Outdoor Rug for Patio | 3. Lumens – Outdoor Twist Side Table | 4. Amazon – Patio Privacy Screen for Balcony | 5. Overstock – Illona Outdoor Acacia Sofa Set by Christopher Knight Home | 6. Wayfair – Rectangular 6 – Person Outdoor Dining Set | 7. One King’s Lane – Business & Pleasure – Lauren Beach Backpack Chair, Pink/White Stripe & Premium Beach Umbrella, Pink/White Stripe | 8. Pottery barn – Caleb Handcrafted Metal Outdoor Lantern
I would keep my eyes peeled because Amazon is having its big Prime Day sale on July 11th, 2023 and some of these items could be on it. I’m not totally in the know, so I can’t say for sure if they will be or not, but maybe set some sort of reminder. Even if they don’t go on sale, I think these outdoor living items are great to pick up regardless. Oh, something to note, the outdoor lights run on batteries. I’m not sure if they run down quickly, but it’s a good idea to get battery powered ones so you don’t have to worry about needing a plug by wear you want to hang them. These can be put anywhere! Also, my sister has the rug below and it’s thin but feels nice on your feet, which is why I added it to the picks.

Now, since you can see my balcony in the pic below, my outdoor living area is pretty limited, however, here is what I currently have out on it and then what I might add.

Current Look: Egg chair | Rug | similar stool )original seems to be gone)
What I’d add: Lumens – Outdoor Twist Side Table | Caleb Handcrafted Metal Outdoor Lantern | Wayfair – Handmade Ceramic Indoor Pot Planter | Home depot – Cat Palm Chamaedorea cataractarum Plant in 9.25 inch Grower Pot
I love my little outdoor set up so far. The rug has really held up – I’ve had it for over a year and didn’t bring it in over the winter. The egg chair is so darn comfortable – I’ve taken a few naps there. The stool, I don’t know what else to call it, is a new-to-me addition. Got it from my sister and it’s perfect to put my drink on it, or even my laptop when I feel like working from the balcony. Now, I would add some floor lanterns with some flameless candles. I’d add 3 of different sizes because everything is better in 3’s. I’d also bring in this plant. I’m not sure how good of a plant parent I’d be, but it’s definitely something to try!
If I had more room, I’d branch out and go big! I’d get this set which includes the fire table, 1 tank, 2 armless chairs, 1 left side chair, one 1 right side chair, one corner chair, and one club chair. Fun fact, this is from Christopher Knight home – and yes, it is from the guy who was on the Brady Bunch! The double umbrella gives off a bunch of shade when you really need it. I’d also get a heater for the nights toward the end of the summer where it’s starting to get a little chilly but you really don’t want to have the summer end!

Outdoor Heater – 48000 BTU Propane Patio Heater Standing LP Gas Steel W/ Wheels Bronze | Target – 6″ 4pk Melamine Floral Appetizer Plates – Opalhouse™ designed with Jungalow™ | Wayfair – 108” x 180” Rectangular Market Umbrella | Wayfair – Muir Outdoor Acacia Chaise Lounge
And lastly, for the beach I thought this was too adorable! Who doesn’t love pink and S T R I P E S???
