Everything is so beautiful

I live in a condo, so, for me, it’s basically down to putting plants on the back deck and the entryway. The place came with “ceiling hooks” in the entryway area, and I’ve used them for hanging plants, lanterns, and chimes. I’ve also got some comfy chairs and lounges, plus a bookcase in front (great for sorting mail, stashing sunglasses, etc.).

If you have plants like ferns & hostas in your yard , that of a friend, family member or neighbor that has an abundance that you can use, dig up some to put in medium to large pots to fill up spaces on the patio for cheap or even free decor.
