outdoor living ~ bluwaterstyle

It’s always 5:00 somewhere, and it’s always summer somewhere ~ especially in my mind. The calendar says it’s almost November, but it’s been warmer than usual here, so we are still loving some porch and patio time. This time of year I’m up for a little pumpkin spice and a lot of football, and it’s even nicer when we can enjoy some outdoor living style.

I’m always thinking up new bluwaterstyle outdoor living looks, especially with a cocktail and nice weather. If bluwaterstyle was a cocktail, it would be something like this ~

~ In a vintage cocktail shaker add ice and equal parts ~
       Coastal Cottage
       Island Colonial
       Useful Storage
~ Shake ’til well blended and strain into whatever glass strikes your fancy
~ Add a dash of vintage industrial
~ Finish with a colorful glamorous twist.
~ Enjoy with a luxe cocktail napkin and a happy sigh!

I pulled some current outdoor living style favorites into a couple of dream boards with source links. You never know when a shopping opportunity might pop up and I like to be ready! If the weather continues this nice, we would certainly enjoy this dream space. There are plenty of porch and patio {and tailgate!} gatherings planned all the way through year-end, so I have plenty of opportunities to add new favorite things to the mix. Hope you enjoy this bit of virtual styling ~ grab a seat and a drink, and happy browsing!

I like pieces that work indoors or outdoors and can be easily moved around for the occasion. This time of year I like weathered neutrals with bits of color ~ like the palette from this beautiful sunset ~~~

1 ~ Hamptons Teak Sofa arhaus.com Love the lines on this sofa ~ works outdoors or indoors.

2 ~ Torrey All Weather Wicker Chair  potterybarn.com Gotta have some wicker seating.

3 ~ Hamptons Teak Lounge Chair arhaus,com  Easy to position for conversation or to enjoy the view

4 ~ Gotta have a swing or hammock for a nap, and this daybed would be heaven!

5 ~ Wyatt Outdoor Coffee Table arhaus.com  Great color with glass top and baskets for storage.

6 ~ Teal leather poof seating ballarddesigns.com   A seat, or a side table with a tray, or put your feet up!

7 ~ Directoire Bar Cart ballarddesigns.com  Useful storage and style for serving.

8 ~ Mesa Indoor/Outdoor Rugs ballarddesigns.com  Love the neutral with coral combo.

Wood, resin, acrylic and melamine are great options for outdoor accessories. A few glass pieces for sparkle, pops of color, and some natural greenery to complete the package. Grab a seat, a drink, and enjoy the view! 

1 ~ Melamine dinnerware  crateandbarrel.com  Neutral color palette ~ ceramic look, and no fear of breakage.

2 ~ River stone bowl arhaus.com  Float a beautiful flower in a pool of water for instant gratification.

3 ~ Petrified wood votive candle holders arhaus.com  Real petrified wood, so each one is unique. Great bluwatergifty idea too!

4 ~ An outdoor fireplace for my outdoor dream space!

5 ~ Turquoise serving platter potterybarn.com Great 16×11 size, and a gorgeous color.

6 ~ Faux succulent and moss wreath potterybarn.com  Greenery for a wall, or flat on a table with candles for instant centerpiece.

7 ~ Acrylic drinkware potterybarn Love this hammered texture, and it’s shatterproof.

8 ~ Decanter and shot set potterybarn.com  Rum or tequila tasting ready and waiting!
