This summer, I didn’t just want a deck—I wanted an outdoor room. A space that felt like a true extension of our home. To start, I added these contemporary planter boxes from @BirchLane, which instantly created a little privacy and greenery. Such a simple trick, but it completely transformed the space. This woven tray makes it easy to carry everything from kitchen to deck—and I love how my new speckled glassware, bamboo cutlery, and melamine dishes make dining outdoors feel a little more elevated, a little more special. I layered in a few of Birch Lane’s touch lamps, which give off the prettiest soft glow in the evenings. And of course, a mix of outdoor pillows for that extra bit of charm and comfort. But the true showstopper? The Jayton sofa in blue and white. The shape, the color, the dramatic back—I can’t get enough. Thanks to Birch Lane, our deck feels like a little summer escape—right in our own backyard.
