This Summer Spruce-Up Series couldn't have come at a better (or more desperate) time! It really gave me the good kick in the butt I needed to start adding some much needed color and functionality to our once neglected back patio.
I mean, just look at the poor thing...
Gazebo parts on the floor and a missing wicker chair just doesn't say, "Hey, you wanna sit outside and have some lemon-aid?"
But this does!!
The flowers, not only bring color, but a delightful aroma to the space! And I just couldn't resist spray painting them with more bright colors!
I placed some flower pots inside a wooden tray that used to house my daughter's "band in a box" and used it as my table's centerpiece. That baby got several coats of spray paint as well.
The table is what I am most proud of. I actually made it from a wood pallet (another Pinterest idea turned into action!) My honey helped but I did most of the work! Really, I did!
Now we have a spot to place our lemon-aid or even play a board game...today, we even ate dinner out there...the thing is huge!
Spray painting some soup cans made a fast and easy alternative to store bought pots. Not to mention, they helped me stay within my $50 budget!
Lovely and colorful! Just the way I like it!
A run down of the additions:
- missing wicker chair is back $0
- cushions were brought back outside from the garage $0
- Pots (and some cans) & flowers were added to bring color- most pots were spray painted $32
- table was made from a wood pallet and painted a fiery red $12 (for paint)
So with a wood pallet, some pots & flowers, and whole lot of paint, I was able to begin turning this backyard space into the right direction!
The only thing I was dreading was having to water the flowers (my honey spoiled me with a drip system, so it's been a while). But lo and behold, I found this little tiny helper who actually thinks it's fun! Yup, totally saw her coming!
Oh...and I'm not the only one who sniffs the flowers!

SO beautiful! I love it!
The update to your outdoor patio space looks amazing. I hope that this will inspire you and your family enjoy more time spent outside this summer. ;o) Thanks for sharing.
I adore this table! My deck is looking pretty sad, but patio furniture is really expensive. Thanks for the idea I might have to try this.

What a bright and happy spot! Your little helper is doing a great job there too.

I love the table! We just finished a pallet table for our kitchen. The hubby is working on a bench and chairs now. The red color makes me want to have him get more pallets to make an outside table, too!
Nothin like a pop of color to make it fun & inviting, really simple & perfect!! :) Michelle
Yep! Loving that red table. It's so fun with the rough texture and bright red (plus I love it red with light blue)! Great job!
I'm visiting today from I Should Be Mopping the Floor. I'd love for you to visit my blog, linkup and and leave a comment, too!
