Complete Patio Makeover

 One of lasts summers projects was to make the back  patio a little more appealing.  It was a lot of little projects that seemed to drag on forever.  I did finally finish it all up, but it was a little late in the season for it to be relevant for most readers. So here it is,  my back patio makeover in all of it’s 9×13′ glory.  Enjoy.

I started with the floor, the floor the ceiling and the walls were all the same color. It felt like a cave.  It was too dark of a color for the ceiling, but too light for the floor.  The floor always looked dirty.  So it got a little makeover.  You can read more about the process here!
I loved the difference the floor made, so I decided the ceiling needed some help as well.

You can read more about  how I significantly  brightened the room here. It is amazing what a little paint can do.

While I loved the new floor, my kids liked to play out on the patio, and I wanted them to have a little bit of a softer surface to play on. So I used a cheap rug  and some paint and  turned it into this! You can read more about how I did it here.

For the tables,  I used two different tables, one that I found at a thrift store, the other, on the side of the road.  With a little bit of elbow grease I was able to make them look as if they went together.

  You can read all about the process here.

For seating I used 2 chairs from my  old dining set and turned them into a bench!  You can read all about the process here.

 For wall decor  I  used a mirror that I picked up from “ReStore for $2.00.  With a little bit of work I was able to make it fit the theme.  You  learn how to make your own here.

As a small finishing touch I added a couple of simple coasters, that are super  simple and cheap  to make,  you can read more about them here.

 The directors chair was a thrift store find. It was all a matter of repainting, and removing the fabric,  using it as a pattern to create a  new one. 

 I absolutely  love the way it turned out.  You may have noticed I am not great at using color in my house.  BUT  the back porch was different. I was able to get over the anxiety of bright colors and went for it!   I love it.
