Kiss Those Winter Blues Goodbye!
If you are in Houston, Tx today you should count yourself blessed by this gorgeous weather! After threatening rain and snow on Tuesday today’s blue skies, sunshine and 60 degree temperatures are a welcomed surprise! With Houston’s weather being so finicky and this being such a cold and long winter (even by Houston standards!) here are some things you will love that will help warm up the outdoors! Don’t let the weather keep you cooped up inside; just cozy up your outdoor spaces with a few of these suggestions!
Suggestion #1 Backyard Fire Bowl: Reap the rewards of an outdoor fireplace without actually building one. A portable fire pit is perfect for warmth, and s’more making!
Suggestion #2 Candles instead of firewood: Get creative and light up candles instead. There are even types of candles designed to look like river rocks and ignite over a can of Real Flame Gel.
Suggestion #3 Inside Grills: Cold weather shouldn’t mean an end to cookouts. You can buy inside table top grills to prop up on a table, and bring out the burgers for a “winter-time” barbecue.
Suggestion #4 Use a cheery and warm table cloth to warm up the chilly table! This will both warm and brighten up the outdoor space.
Suggestion #5 Have a blanket on hand to snuggle up in. A faux fur one will really have you feeling close to the great outdoors.
Suggestion #6 Get comfortable and warmed with plush, patterned seat cushions tied to chair bottoms.
Suggestion #7 Highlight the coziness of your outdoor haven with a selection of lit candles grouped and placed all around the porch. You can do the same thing with your favorite plants and flowers!
Suggestion #8 Lay down this rug to warm up the floor (and your feet). Its natural look makes it perfect to mimic the outside without really going out.
