Even though we’re back outside, there’s no place like home to enjoy a nice warm day – especially if you can get down on the grill. Now that Memorial Day weekend is here, it’s a great time to show your yard a little love and get ready for the unofficial start of summer.
Adding just a few accessories can turn your yard into the perfect outdoor oasis. From lights to plates to pillows and more – we’ve rounded up some fabulous pieces to help you spruce up your outdoor space.

Of course you want to soak up the sun while you’re outside. But an umbrella can give you some relief when it gets too hot, and give you another way to add color and style to your space. The fringe trim on this umbrella from Opalhouse™ designed with Jungalow™ gives it a little something special.
