The Home Courtyard & Outdoor Living
This courtyard had so much potential but wasn’t coming together quite as it should be…until now!
First thing- Cleaning up, Upcycle some items, Rearrange furniture & add a few new items that are needed. Like the metal piece above the fireplace. It was half price at Hobby Lobby ONLY $22.50!
These deep orange/red pads weren’t really working.. something was missing. A good cleaning & added small back pillows from Target (on sale!). Love the pattern & solid together & with the contrast of the dark furniture too.
Warm & Cozy- a great spot to relax! The only furniture purchased now for this courtyard makeover was the patio coffee table- from HomeDepot.com It was a great price & looks fabulous.
Found this amazing metal/iron wheeled plant holder at a thrift store for $20. Thought it was so elegant- FrugElegant! So glad I bought it.
2 old gray flower pots were not working well with the warm brown tones… instead of buying new ones, a little spray paint did the trick. See our post: Easy Flower Pot Update
1- Mini Succulent plant $1.95, 1-glass candle holder dish $1.49, and a few white decorative rocks (full bag $5.99, plenty of extra rocks to decorate somewhere else). This outdoor decor is Easy to create, Easy to Maintain!
Micky’s favorite spot… Sunbathing in the morning sun!
Love these string lights from Target. Put them on a timer so every evening they come on at sundown for 2 (or 4) hours.
The courtyard is pretty much done except for a few small touches: some plants for the large ceramic pots, some more small potted plants & replace some plants along the side areas.
