Welcome to week 2 of my guest participation in the One Room Challenge hosted by Calling It Home! If you missed last week’s post, you can catch up here. As I’m writing this, I’m actually on spring break with my kids. No, no, we’re not away in some fabulous vacation getaway. A staycation will have to do since my hubby is working and I have no plans to play supermom…flying somewhere with the kids all by myself. 🙂
Want to know something? I actually am not disappointed that we didn’t go away this week. The sunny and warm weather we’ve had all week has been Ah-Maz-ING! We’ve reached 80’s the last couple of days!
The gorgeous weather this week has gotten me extra excited about our upper patio deck makeover. I’m officially dubbing this my “Tropical Outdoor Dining Oasis” project. The title isn’t very innovative (rather cliche if you ask me..haha) but it’s the best way to describe the look and feel that I’m after!
Here again are the inspiration photos behind my “Tropical and Moroccan” design motifs.

For week 2’s update, I thought I would share my DESIGN BOARD to show you the various items I plan to incorporate. Gosh, I wish I can start styling the space already!! It’s always the best part but it’ll have to wait until week 6 unfortunately. Womp womp. 🙁
Out of all of the items shown in my design board, I only have 2 in my house right now.
Currently, I have the rectangular coffee table and that colorful outdoor rug you see in the center. I just purchased this 6 feet by 9 feet rug last week! I’ll share all the details about the rug and the other items in an upcoming post. Stay tuned!

Love the area rug you chose it will really bring a Moroccan feel to the space. I also adore all of the “twinkle” light that you have chosen not only will they add to the overall home decor but they also create a welcoming and warm space.
can’t wait to see how this turns out!!
Ooooh! The colors in that run are great! I also looove the hanging lanterns you have on the inspiration board. Gorgeous!! xo
I love all of the plants and the lights. It’s going to be such an inviting space. Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
This space is going to look amazing! I love those lannterns 🙂
Love the rug! Outdoor spaces are some of my favorite transformations 🙂
Thanks so much!
This is going to look beautiful, Tee! We’ve been having lovely weather here too!
Wow, 80’s?! That’s summer weather! Your design plan makes me want to go on a tropical vacation. Beautiful! Enjoy spring break with the kids, and Happy Easter!
Thanks so much, Carol! We’re really enjoying our little staycation..lol. Have a wonderful Easter too!
I am loving this makeover – I am pretty good with INDOOR spaces but my design sense OUTSIDE is HORRIBLE!!!! Really pathetic!!! – I am lost and overwhelmed by the vastness and usually end up just letting the natural landscaping speak…which is just sad…so I am hoping to find inspiration here!!!!
Thanks so much for following along this makeover! I’m very excited to see this place transformed. Good luck with sprucing up your backyard this summer!
I love the rug! Such fun and fresh colors to work with!
Love that rug!! And outdoor string lights always make a space feel finished and fun.
What a fun plan! Bright, cheerful, and the perfect chill spot.
Love the design you’ve come up! I would love to make our deck more fun and entertaining!
LOVE love that rug! I want it! lol. I’m currently on the hunt for an outdoor rug, so you’re inspiring me 🙂
Love the rug and the direction you’re going with it! It’s going to look great!
That rug is gorgeous Tee! This is going to look so darn good once it’s all in place. Who says you can’t style it and enjoy it a bit sooner than week 6?!
Thanks so much, Ariel! Hopefully I could start styling it by Week 5. LOL
A Tropical oasis is my favorite! Can’t wait to see it all come together. I love your inspiration.
