Before & After
There really is something so special and inspiring seeing people take charge of their own homes and let their creativity flow. And since last year really showed us the importance of not only our homes but our outdoor spaces, a lot of people really made a concerted effort to maximize those spaces (even my own dad which you are about to see:)) So here are 22 spaces and projects to help inspire you to maybe get those hands a little dirty and create an outdoor space you can really enjoy this summer…and I promise you WILL be inspired. Let’s start with a project that anyone with a paintbrush and a dream could do…
Ok, now Liz Kamarul is an incredible artist/designer. If you want more proof take a look at her Instagram. She also has a deep love for checkered patterns (we are the same in that way:)) #foreverchecked
So in true Liz fashion, she decided to paint a mural last year on her wooden deck. She started with using two coats of paint and primer and then just let her mural evolve naturally (I’m extremely impressed as I would have absolutely needed a plan. But that’s clearly the difference between artist and non-artist). So if you love the design from last year that’s how she did it.
Creative Diy Backyard Ideas In Budget
But this year Liz wanted to give her deck a fresh look and did this very cool checkered pattern in even cooler colors.
The lighter peachy color is Sunset Drive by Behr and the darker color is True Copper also by Behr. This pattern seems pretty user-friendly. So if you are wanting to do something cool/modern to your outside patio this may just be it! Here is a highlight on her Instagram that takes you through the journey with more tips.
This is not a beginner DIY but if you are handy (or someone in your life is) you too could have a greenhouse like this one. Ursula has a detailed materials list here but for the cliff notes version, she painted her already great shed and then added this wonderful little greenhouse to it using recycled windows to keep the budget manageable. So for about $1000 Ursula was able to make this little slice of heaven!
