As August set in, you weren’t ready to give up outdoor time (we weren’t either) just yet—and your buys showed just that. Outdoor cushions and terracotta serving bowls were at the top of your list, as was a Diane Keaton–designed steel bucket perfect for cooling drinks or holding wood for the firepit. But near the end of the month, organizing essentials, cookware, and fresh decor made it into your carts; a subtle shift signaling the impending arrival of fall and a new school year. Here’s your top 11 from August.

Target
$45

You loved these highly rated 18-by-18-inch chair pads last month—and we can see why. They come in several colors (even a delightful chartreuse); are water-, stain-, fade-, and mildew-resistant; and the string ties keep them in place. 

H&M Home Glazed Terracotta Serving Bowl

This terracotta bowl is a great example of exactly why we turn to H&M Home for good design at budget-friendly prices. The glazing technique makes each one appear a bit different, and it’ll look like any other handcrafted piece among your stoneware.

$10

The painting advice of a seasoned DIYer is exactly what you were looking for last month. You listened to Colleen Sullivan when it came to these paintbrush covers that have been “lab tested to keep paint wet on brushes for up to six (!) weeks.” It’s time to tackle that multiday project.
