Quick Backyard Patio Makeover in a Weekend

April 9, 2016

You guys, our back yard has been dismal and sad for over 3 years now.  When we first moved into our home, we had grand plans of a dream backyard for entertaining friends and family.

But as home ownership often goes, other needs (including a mold issue, updating our master bedroom and increasing square footage) quickly took priority and our dream backyard has been put on the back burner. Even though our big backyard makeover isn’t scheduled for this year, we couldn’t imagine another spring and summer season passing us by without backyard BBQ’s and family gatherings…

Our solution: create a lovely, cozy outdoor patio living space, designed to entertain our friends and family. The present state of our patio was pretty sad as well, so we were going to need to do a bit of sprucing and accessorizing. I was lucky enough to be part of the Home Depot Style Challenge team for this project.

Thanks to the awesome folks at Home Depot and we were able to get  our patio “warm weather ready” in one weekend!  For a complete reveal, including awesome DIYs (i.e. patio string light posts, pavers, etc), visit the Home Depot blog.   Brace yourselves for the before pictures!

    I’ve been so excited to see this! It looks SO good! We have the same goal for our backyard this year. We can’t do our dream makeover yet, but we are determined to still make it a pretty and usable space this year!

    Oh my gosh, your patio turned out so great! I immediately went over to the home depot site and read thru everyone’s patio tutorial that was listed. All of them were so great and I liked how everyone was able to decorate based on their personal style…they were all so different looking.

    You’ve motivated me to get my butt in gear and start working on making our backyard what is was meant to be…an extension of our home.

    I absolutely love this! I wish we could get something this elaborate done in just a weekend, but there is NO way! We are planning a move and so I will be coming back to this post for some awesome ideas as we plan our new backyard! Thank you so much for sharing.

    I just ordered the same patio set and I LOVE those plaid pillows and melamine plates! Are you able to please share where you purchased those? You have a dreamy backyard 🙂

    Dear Ashley when I access your page it says “this site may be hacked” and when I click in to see an article it redirects me to other pages . I hope this info will help!

    Read your post at Home Depot blog…. great ideas that you shared!! I immediately hopped over here hoping you’d share where your wonderful dress is from…. I went there and it’s sold out….I don’t see a way to reach out to the owners to ask if the dress will come back in stock. Do you know how to contact them via email or phone?
