Flowers are always good to have on a patio, it helps bring out the setting a bit more. A variety of different colors is always good to insert.

My top tip is to find a Buy Nothing or free stuff group on FB and check websites like Craigslist. You can find or request a lot of awesome stuff. I even get plants that way. Just organizing and tidying makes things look so nice. Adding lights of some kind gives a space a lot of ambience and a cozy feeling, too. You can find a lot of beautiful or cute strings of lights (or individual ones) cheap online. Making your outdoor space one that is ready for sitting with a cup of tea or having a couple of friends to dinner at any time means making it a place where you feel you want to spend time.

You need a water feature in your outdoor space! Even just a small tabletop one is great! The sound of the water moving is so nice to relax to! Put some cute rocks around it, with words or sayings on them. Some nice plants around the fountain & you’ve got your summer relaxation space good to go…or should I say ready to hit the relaxation mode ! 🌤️

I’ve been trying to complete a deck and patio cooking pad, with a fire pit, up off the pond…love to have a platform up off the ground and away from the pond…beautiful sunsets and a fan and Wind Block from the north west to protect Southern corner, where I want to enjoy family dinners finally. A place to rinse hand from garden work and table and chairs for 11.
A swing facing the pond and sunset would be beautiful . The thought makes me smile.🙂
