I’m one of those annoyingly optimistic people who truly believe that if you say something often enough, it will actually come true. Let’s practice, shall we?
The weather is warm outside. Spring is on the way. The weather is warm outside. Spring is on the way.
I know, I know. At this very moment, I’m pulling my robe around myself more tightly as I hear the wind rustling through the trees. But have faith, friends! May is only two days away, and May has a very good track record of bringing the beautiful weather. *Crosses fingers and toes*
So, to put myself in a sunny frame of mind, I’ve selected my favourite seasonal pieces from The Home Depot Canada. After all, spring is the time to prep the garden, clear the backyard and start planning your outdoor oasis – and The Home Depot has everything you need to get started. From outdoor décor and power to live goods, a local associate is always ready with some tips and tricks to help you prepare for the warmer weather.
(Shout out to the staff at The Home Depot – some of my favourite peeps on the planet! They’ve offered expert advice, mediation, crisis management and babysitting services.. and that was all in the same visit.)

Love the Pleasant Hearth Fire Pit – may have to go check it out!
I think I may have to check it out too Judy – I adore fire pits!
I love the hearth fire place and stomping stone. I intend to include some of those stones into my garden path this year. :)
Ooooh… love stomping stones through garden paths. I’m sure it will look lovely :)
Love fow the lawn mower is sparkling :-) The stepping stones are really nice! Would be great in my garden.
Hahaha I guess they only stay new for a limited time, huh?
i am not looking forward to cutting the grass
I don’t think anyone is – but with the right tools, it can be more bearable :)
awesome. i love home depot!
Me too!
Love that fire pit and the cushions :) I just need a lawn before I get a lawnmower, but that looks like the one I would want ;)
Always love Home Depot for their plants as well.
Have fun at the twitter party people !!
There are so many gorgeous cushions, I think I’ll need to dedicate a separate post to the styles!
I have had my eye on their cushions for a while now – the hardest part is trying to decide between them all !
Totally agree Flora!
Is there an RSVP for the twitter party?
Hmm… not sure Carlee, I’ll find out for you!
I live 5 minutes from a Home Depot and we shop there often. Will do my best to attend the twitter party. Thanks.
So awesome you live so close to one! My husband would be there all the time, LOL!
I like the Pleasant Hearth Fire Pit. This be nice for the back yard.
I agree. My husband checked it out in-store and I think we may need to grab it :)
I love that pillow fabric – I could imagine designing a whole space around it. Beautiful!
Love the way you think!
I love the fire pit…it would look so nice at night and keep everyone warm too!
Yes! And hopefully chase away mosquitoes?
Does fire chase away mosquitos or draw them in?
Good question – I may have to look into that before I buy one!
it’s just missing some tiki lights to string across the backyard
Hahah I agree Mr. Disco!
I can’t wait to get my yard together, I bought a ton of new stuff!
Awesome! Now the weather just has to catch up to us!
I have one of those fire pits and we just love it, we can put it where we want and I have even cooked my steaks on it, it was well worth the money spent on it, and if something ever happens to mine I will be getting another one!!
Thank you so much for the feedback and recommendation Lynda!
I love the Hampton Bay Decorative Pillow!
The whole collection is stunning, Victoria!
Cant wait to purchase some flowers from Home Depot soon! Just cleaned my flower beds yesterday :)
Nice! Spring is almost here!
I want one of those fire pits
I think based on Lynda’s review I’ll have to get one!
I want a fire pit in the worst way! Can’t wait for the party!
Aren’t they so cool! Perfect for summer nights!
Oh! Do I long for the beautiful days of Spring.. I have to say, I LOVE summer for the weekends at the lake, sunshine and beach days BUT spring is so special.. a season of rebirth.
I can ALMOST picture myself around that firepit already :)
So eloquently stated!
ahhh those flowers look so pretty right about now. everything is still so bare :(
I know… it’s 9 degrees and raining in Toronto right now, NOT May weather!
I love the butterfly garden stones in backyard.
Me too! Thinking about how I can incorporate them into my (small) garden!
My dad is in dire need of a new lawnmower and this one looks great!
Perfect for Father’s Day Anne!
The firepit looks real nice.
I think so too!
Oh – how I long for spring to get here! These items are so cheery and inspiring!
I know! Any day now Heidi!
Great picks, would love one of those fire pits!
Me too! Seems like it’s a universal favourite!
Love the firepit! Will have to take a look next time we’re at HD!
Please do Alexandra! I bet it’s the perfect size for a back patio!
Love all the picks but the cushion and fire pit really capture my eye. Impressed by the prices too.
Agreed! $108 is a fabulous price!
Great picks Lena! Home Depot has such great seasonal stuff and we are there every weekend more than not!
Nice! They have beautiful pieces for spring!
I saw the fire pit in the store and wanted it, and for about a hundred bucks I think I need to get it!!!!!!
I think you do too :) Thanks Ruby!
That fire pit totally has my name on it! I can’t wait for it to be nice enough to get that going
Yes ma’am! One of my fave pieces by far!
We got all our garden supplies from HD this year, flowers, dirt, and a lilac tree!
Success! Great to hear that Shannon!
I love the fire pit! That would be great for entertaining this summer!
I agree! Ans I love to price too!
I would love to have a nice fire pit not just bricks in a circle like we have now
But brinks in a circle sounds so rustic! :)
I just LOVE all of the items above a treasure for any backyard
Thanks Jennifer! Glad we share the same great taste!
Love those stepping stones!!
They’re so pretty!
I love the home depot i would marry it if i could.. i keep asking but it won’t give me an answer!
Hahaha you’re too funny Jo-Anne!
Ah to have the feeling of spring again. But soon enough it will come and I have been taught not to wish my life away.
Wise way to think!
I just love Home Depot. They have so many things for your home. My husband would live there if he could. It’s his “happy place” store.
Ha, mine too!
I love their fire pits and we spend many evening sitting around good conversation with friends is amazing
I’m loving all the products that you’ve shown but now I’m depressed because I’m looking at this in September when summer is over not spring when it’s just starting.
