Keeping it cool by the pool with this California casual patio design! Neutral colors and wood finishes are great choices for a relaxed and versatile patio space that stays stylish throughout the seasons. A large sun umbrella and a shaded chair give a much needed break from the bright summer sun. I’m loving these weathered planters from Ballard designs! The worn white exterior gives an organic feel in contrast to the modern outdoor chaises and other patio furniture. This wooden deck box is water resistant and the perfect place to store towels and other poolside accessories!

Warm wood tones set the vibe in this stylish yet homey laundry room design! Perfect for storing linens and cleaning supplies, this storage cabinet from Anthro Living is so practical and cute! Etsy is my favorite place to find specific household items. I’m loving this custom-order washer/dryer countertop and these refillable detergent and fabric softener bottles! Crate & Barrel makes the cutest rolling laundry cart - accommodating up to 300 pounds of general laundry, it’s a fantastic option for any busy family! Black penny tile grounds the space and makes for a great wipeable floor in this high-use area.

Entertaining and summertime go hand in hand, and it’s never too early to stock up on your party essentials! Melamine dish ware like this adorable set from Mark and Graham is both durable and festive, perfect for serving up those seasonal snacks for guests.
