PATIO REVEAL.. WELL MOST OF IT

On to today's post.. the patio..Yippee it is definitely coming to life out there!!( Me jumping up and down while doing a fist pump) Before there was no color what so ever, bland and boring, dirty too. The winter had taken its toll for sure (sorry no before pics right now, I uploaded them and was too embarrassed to show them..yes it was that bad). If I get the courage I might show one..hehe.. On our San Fransisco trip we took on Sunday I stopped by Ikea (I love this store hadn't been there in a year) and picked up a few things that I mentioned in my last post. Well these super fun rugs were 2 of my purchases. They were $9.99 a piece, I bought two of them and just butted them up together to make one large rug. Just the rug alone added so much needed color, they make me smile!

The pillows I made from some fabric that I purchased online from HERE if your curious. If you have been following my blogging journey you know I LOVE greek key anything. Its like peanut butter and chocolate, you could never go wrong with that combo right? Yumm that sounds really good right now :) so when I seen this greek key outdoor fabric, it was a no brainer. I still have two more pillows to make for the chairs on the other side of the sofa ( I will post some pics when I get those done). The two rose trees on either sides of the sofa my hubby and the kiddos surprised me with on Mothers Day..they are the loves of my life :)  This transformation was super cheap which is right my alley, yeppers I am a self admitted cheepie! The rug(s) at $9.99 each I bought 2 and the fabric for the pillows was a total of $14.00. The tray was a yard sale find at .50 cents and with a quick paint job its a whole new tray. The lanterns were a Ross find at $7.99 each. The bag in front of the planter was a dollar store find, and the trellis behind the sofa were a yard sale freebie, found them in the free pile(planning on painting them and getting some climbing plants) so thats no too shabby and totally makes a huge impact. Now for the pictures..warning..be prepared for picture overload and you might need to put on some shades, the colors are bright.. jk...hehe..

















Anyone else preparing your outdoor space for summer?

    Thanks so much Lorvina! The sofa is from Target, I got it a couple years back when they were clearancing out their outdoor furniture at the end of the season.
