Our sunken patio is pretty large and one of my favorite things is to section it off to create multiple nooks! The patio is located off of our basement, which if you don’t know, hosts our second kitchen, which we use when we have guests over or simply for the convenience when we’re hanging outside. When we have drinks and food downstairs we bring them out to the sunken patio and get to use our Arhaus table and chairs. This dining set is perfect for our space and conveniently located right outside this downstairs kitchen.

I’ve also created a couple of lounging spaces in the main part of the patio. One is where we have our couch and fire pit, and the other is where our Porto Chaise Loungers live. Both are perfectly comfortable, but one is for sunbathing or chatting with a friend, the other is to gather with the family over some smores and fireside chats.

Another outdoor space we don’t speak to as much is our deck off of our main kitchen. This space is a project in the works, but I couldn’t help but furnish it with this beautiful Arhaus set. We see this view all the time as it is right outside of our big kitchen windows.

I really adore these spaces as this is where community grows and our family bonds. I cannot wait for the changing seasons and switching up these spaces for the seasons. ◡̈

The loft has been converted into a cozy sleeping retreat and we couldn’t be more obsessed with this space. I am a firm believer in making your bedroom a retreat, somewhere you can rest and relax, and escape from the busyness of the day. We have put a lot of love into our girls’ bedroom (and now as requested by them, working on giving them each their own room) as well as made our master bedroom a place we love to lay our heads at night. This all said the Tuff Shed needed the same cozy peaceful vibe!

In order to create this space, I knew I wanted the loft. The grand height of our Tuff Shed allowed for this, and I always envisioned this as a sleeping retreat. We added texture to the walls and ceiling by adding shiplap and painted everything white. Of course, lighting is key to create a great environment, so we included two chandeliers hanging in front of the loft that also dim to create a moody vibe.

When it came to decorating the loft for our cozy sleeping retreat, we used a queen mattress, which was the perfect fit, added comfortable pillows, velvet bedding, nightstands, and lamps, and sprinkled it with some books, extra blankets, a diffuser, and some little wall hangings (and maybe have switched it up a couple of times ◡̈ ). We wanted the space to feel extra cozy for our girls, or guests, whoever may be up there for the night, or even to hang out and watch a movie on our projector. (This is one of our favorite things!)

Tuff Shed did a wonderful job building out our dream loft and with their labor and my vision, our cozy sleeping retreat came to life! We can’t wait to snuggle up for more movie nights and even spend a night or two. ◡̈
