Edit
It took a total of 7 hours to complete this project, but we are finally done...for now. In the near future I'd like to add a cover so the rain won't wet this little area up. Then eventually replace the entire thing, and get all new materials/wood. The sun has hit it for so long now, it's wearing away! (To see the BEFORE photos of what the patio used to look like, click here).
*Click on the photos for larger images*
Anyhow, this space is much more inviting now & that was my goal. Could I have made it better? Sure, but I was trying to stay within my budget of $550 and that's what I did. Eventually, I'll also replace the 2 (old chairs) on the side, with a 2-seater metal bench & cushion...but for now I'll just sit at my bistro & have some breakfast & coffee with my guy on the weekends.Hope this post inspires you to re-do or update your own patio for the Summer!
Wow that gorgeous!!! It came out great. Good job

Looks great! I love the way the metal turned out!
ReplyDeleteVery inspiring! If only I had a patio! Way to be brave and use so much color . . at least it would've taken bravery for me, but I absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Jen! I like the way the bistro setting looks against the blue corrugated steel.
ReplyDeleteI love how it all turned out , very inviting :)
ReplyDeleteLooks so refreshing. What a difference that makes. Nice to sit and have your morning coffee while updating your blog! Well done.
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Jen. And you turned it around so quickly - I've been living in my flat for two years and I've still done nothing with my (tiny) garden - it's about the same size as your patio.
ReplyDeleteDid you paint the metallic pots yourself or did you buy them? I love the look!

ReplyDeleteAlso about the wicker chairs...you said you want to replace them. what about painting them and adding fresh fabric to the seats?? I did this with one of mine and it was a whole new chair. spray paints works great! just a thought........

ReplyDeleteGreat job! You should spray paint the wicker chairs and get some funky pillows.
ReplyDeleteHi CINDY,
ReplyDeleteNot sure which paint your talking about - but the steel is painted in a Behr paint. I had the guy mix it until I was happy with the Turquoise color..
CINDY:
ReplyDeleteP.S. I didnt even think of painting the wicker chairs, great idea....thanks!
CAIT:
ReplyDeleteThe metallic pots I spray painted myself with some spray paint from home depot. : )

I have no idea...I do things on the spur of the moment.
