~ Patio Party ~

Here is the boring before......

And with some plants and accessories added......

.....it can truly beautify a place!

I did want to paint the patio floor and the railings earlier this year, but we live in a rental and so I didn't want to put money in where we could be leaving it soon (we've been looking for a place of our very own!) Our landlords are tight with money right now, too, so..... it stays the same for now. I may still do it, but I kind of lost the ambition - this year anyway! (it's starting to feel like fall!!!)
So to still make it a nice place to relax, I found a couple of thrifted cushions... I took them apart and covered the batting with a vinyl tablecloth I already had to water-proof them a little bit more. Put zippers in the covers so I could take them off to wash them easily... I used a large tub I found in the back shed, overturned it and topped it with a footrest cushion I made from a shower curtain! (did the same to the batting as the others)

I also found a couple of neat, old folding chairs in the shed and gave them a make over - you can see it here! They have a place on the patio so others can join us!

A view from the double seat.... =) (I love my Angel Wing plant!)

Hope you enjoyed your comfy stop by my place!
