This week my kids and I worked to clean and scrub our backyard deck. Today I want to share our simple summer deck refresh with you! We found some really awesome pieces to cozy up this space and make it feel inviting and special for the season. Now we just need the rain to let up a bit, ha!
We found affordable, quality pieces for our deck refresh at Walmart. Have you seen all their amazing deals on patio and garden? Transform or refresh any space for summer with style on any budget!

Clearing and cleaning
To get started we cleared the deck of our outdoor furniture and any debris that accumulated over our very long winter. We had some leaves, spider webs and legos wedged between boards.
Next we sprayed off the deck with the hose and I mixed up some hot water and cleaning solution and we used the mop to scrub the Trex boards. I then sprayed the deck down a final time with water and it looked so nice and clean!
Adding functional items and cozy touches
Next we rolled out our new outdoor rug from Walmart! I absolutely love the pattern, color and texture of this rug. It added such a brightness to the space. It is lightweight and easy to sweep, vacuum or spray off if messes happen, but adds such a coziness to this little gathering area.
We also added this 10′ outdoor umbrella for morning and early afternoon shade. This will be an absolute lifesaver for me since the kids LOVE to eat breakfast on the deck. I love that the umbrella is weatherproof, won’t fade in the sun and also has a tilt option for blocking rays!
Last of all I added some smaller items like these gorgeous lanterns with flameless candles, these beautiful stone pots for flowers, some solar pathway lights and this glass pitcher and tall glass set. This will be so fun for summer lemonades like my fresh blackberry limeade.

I love these beautiful lanterns! You may remember last fall when I used them with fairy lights around our pumpkins and autumn porch. Right now we are using them with flameless candles and they add such a cozy touch to our summer deck decor.
