How To Decorating a Patio with no budget

Happy Summer!!   Where I live, it’s a long hot one……

“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.” -Albert Camus

Wherever you live, whatever your plans might be this summer, I just wanted to remind you of a few things.

#1 You don’t need money to enjoy being outside.  The only thing in this yard I paid for were the flowers, the pots, and the joint compound.  I used Free to Me paint, leftover wall paint, and a sample size of DIY Paint in Old ’57 and DIY Paint in Cake Batter.

#2 You don’t have to have any special skill to transform your backyard-patch of yard-porch-balcony.  All you need is a desire to create a place that is comfortable for you and your loved ones.

#3 There are no rules in Summer decorating.  (In my world, there are no rules in decorating.  EVER).  The more the merrier, people, flowers, and Junk!

So let’s get to it, How to Decorate a Patio with Junk! Here is a round-up of my yard from past posts:
