The Finer Things

If you are looking for a soft, luxurious escape, paint your furniture white and distress it, hang some lace or tool curtains, add a vase of hydrangeas, and place a chandelier right in the middle.

Theme It

Maybe you like the 1950’s diner era. Add some red strips. Paint the adjacent wall of your home to liven it up even more. Add a string of lights for the perfect night venue.

Small Spaces

If you don’t have a lot of room, add flooring to an area with stones. Save money on furniture by using your old, inexpensive pool chairs, and paint them to go with the new look.

Garden Escape

Hang your plants around your patio. It will not only make it more serene, but help block the bright sun. Recycle your old furniture with a coat of paint.

Built with a Budget

Paint your old lawn chairs, and add some cushions. Add some flower pots. Put up a few curtains with a string and clothes pins. An upgraded patio does not need to pull a bank job.

Floor Mural

Don’t have room in the budget for new flooring. Give it a paint job or paint a mural on it. You’ll have yourself a new and unique space.

Living Space

Do not let your patio go to wasted space. It may become your favorite room of the house. Expose some brick, add some seating, install a swing, make yourself an outdoor coffee table, and let your decorating talents run wild.
