Sitting out in my parents beautiful yard, enjoying the sun and fresh flowers made me realize that I have no place outside where I feel drawn to. Living at the rental where we do greatly limits us to any beautification projects that need to take place. Thus I tend to give my backyard the cold shoulder. I weed the rock quarry and my husband mows the grass to keep the landlords happy. Then I decided why can’t I have a wonderful outdoor sanctuary!? So I started my little project on a budget…
I cleaned all of our outdoor furniture, took a brutal broom to all the spiders and webs, and filled my pots with some fresh fona and flora from Target! Since pillows cost an arm and a leg I decided to use a bunch of fabric pieces I had laying around from old projects! The colors turned out great! And my mother-in-law was nice enough to help me sew up the larger ones I didn’t do by hand! After hanging some twinkle lights and sweeping up the last of my potting soil, my outdoor sanctuary was finally finished! Can’t wait to have a hot cup of tea and work on my Bible study out on my new and greatly improved patio!
