DIY Patio Makeover
Don't forget to stop by and Like my Facebook Page! DIY Vintage Chic.
I've been wanting to do something with our "backyard" for a while now. The back of our condo faces out to a common area and I'm always thinking how nice it would be for us to sit back here on Saturday morning sipping on our coffee, letting the dogs run around.
But with ugly bushes and a retaining wall that looks like it's about to cave in the area didn't seem very welcoming. Then I heard our condo association was planning to fix the retaining wall!
Now the work's been completed and it's game on!
I'm itching to complete a patio makeover now!
Here are a few DIY ideas I've found. You can see all of these on my Deck and Patio Decor Board on Pinterest.
I know where I can find a small side table!

***While I'm thrilled to share my step-by-step directions, the good and the bad, these are intended for your personal use. I'm always happy to hear and see what my bloggers have been working on. BUT a lot of work goes into these creations and while I have no issues sharing so you are able to create the work for your precious homes please understand that selling an exact duplication of my designs is highly frowned upon. :( Please always be considerate of another artists work. Thank you!***
Great ideas! This is the time for backyard projects! Thank you for joining Home Sweet Home!

“I'm always thinking how nice it would be for us to sit back here on Saturday morning sipping on our coffee, letting the dogs run around.” - Oh, how wonderful it really is to have such relaxing moments time and time again, no?
