I hope this budget friendly makeover inspires you to use what you already have to create a space you love. I got away with this awesome makeover only spending $30 this season, simply by cleaning up and restoring items we already had in our back yard.

Your husband is a gem, always working and seems so happy to help😊

@CreativeHomescaping 3 года назад

For your mud hole problem I would suggest some gravel with stepping stones running through it. That way it will create drainage but will still make it easier to walk barefoot across it.

@joygross 2 года назад

That is what I was going to say .. we did that and it helps so much.

@kindalikeu.....5948 2 года назад

Paint the white chairs & tables black or, another color..... Sand them down first.... ( just - a suggestion) 😁 allll looks great!!!!. U & husband did a great job!!!!. Love the red outside rug👈

@lorettacook1754 2 года назад

I would try gravel and some stepping stones.

@rosilatrailera 2 года назад

I fixed mine with rocks and gravel that I got free at offer up!

My thoughts exactly creative homescaping

@vanillaskye55 3 года назад

I like that you didn't spend thousands of dollars to do a cute makeover. You put effort into maintaining the things you already have to make a cute set up.

@kathleenmcneil9710 3 года назад

I hope you don’t mind my suggestion. You bought beautiful hanging flowers. I just love them! If you could just lower them so they are not out of eyesight. You can do that by adding a simple chain to your nail or hook and then hook your hanging plant to the bottom link. That way your flowers will be easier to water and easier to admire! Also, when you have the budget for it, I would have two rugs on your large patio, one under the table and one in the center of your seating area. You did a great job on your patio! It sparkles!

@leslieculhan3106 3 года назад

Rust-oleum primer and paint combo is all you need to revitalize those retro chairs😉 great job on the patio!

@Angie-ci1lp 3 года назад

Sure will making a BIG DIFFERENCE

@paulabaus4774 3 года назад

My thought too.

@origins2437 3 года назад

I’d paint that set black and throw some red pattern cushions in the chairs would tie all together

@vzeimen 3 года назад

Looks so pretty. A tip that I use every year, usually twice during the summer.... I get 2 bottles of Windex Glass and Patio cleaner early in the spring. Then when the weather is warm enough, I hook the bottle up to the hose and spray my whole back porch. Windows, cement, house walls etc.Let it set with the cleaner on for a few minutes and then give everything a good rinse. It does a great job on the windows, screens, window sills, patio furniture, cushions etc. etc. Then I have an extra bottle already on hand to do it again later in the summer.

@jessicahoward835 3 года назад

We had an area like that at the edge of our patio. We put stone in the entire area and used 24” stepping stones off set from one another to create a path. Looked great and no more muddy paws!

@maryannhorner1900 3 года назад

Your hubby has the patience of a saint!! I would have thrown that thing by the third break 😂

That exact statement ran through my mind watching this.... "That man right there.... I'd thrown that thing in the damn neighbor's yard!" 😂

The squeegee count absolutely cracked me up! So sweet of your husband to help so much. Absolutely love your humor!!!

@albacruzbetancourt5256 3 года назад

Your husband is a keeper. You 2 make such a lovely couple

@sheripequeno7799 2 года назад

I really like that you didn’t go out and buy a lot of new things, instead you just improved on what you had. Very satisfying, I’m sure!

@ambertarver1364 3 года назад

So I read some of the comments before watching the video. Hahah. I just love your sweet family. I feel like that might sound weird but it’s so true. You are so funny and sweet and kind. Your husband has the patience of a saint, so helpful, he’s so kind too (also thinking of past videos of you guys). You two are goal relationship status. And you kids, so stinkin cute and sweet and kind too. I absolute love watching your videos. They make me happy and feel like I can be more productive during my day too. Thank you so much for sharing.

@LeafLikeOnATree 3 года назад

This made me smile. Thanks for these sweet words. ❤️

@free2besassy 3 года назад

Also would sand rust off white chairs and paint them black to match your table and chairs.

@staceygordon6540 2 года назад

I busted out laughing when you "got caught yelling while filming"...your reaction was hilarious! 😂😂😂

@st4y-c4lm44 3 года назад

I would use a piece of chain to bring my flowers down a little so that I could see them better and make it easier to water them.

@jrw9725 3 года назад

I love it. I would have spray painted the two vintage chairs to keep with the red theme. The wrought iron set could have been painted red or white. I have 4 stools like those you got to sit drinks on. I repaint those just about every year. They are handy.

@lynnkazwell6189 3 года назад

I would put a thick layer of mulch. Put landscape fabric first. Later you could plans some perennials there.

@Debbiesdilemmas 3 года назад

Your husband has the patience of a Saint.❤️🙏

@junehudlow6998 2 года назад

Years ago I found out removing and storing the window screens in the winter made for easier cleaning and unobstructed views. In fact I ended up just using several for the whole house as they were just the ones I really used. It was wonderful getting rid of that cleaning problem.

@LeafLikeOnATree 2 года назад

So smart. I don’t ever open my windows so you’re right. I could just take them off and store them in the shed for the next owner and save the hassle of cleaning them

@mamadahling 3 года назад

I’d get stones and plant a few low bushes with edging that keeps it all off your better grass.

@DipityS 3 года назад

Your little pupper following along after dad as he whipper-snipped the fence line was so cute - love the finished area

@mandy3486 Год назад

My dog enthusiastic like that but she would try to bite the blade😂 we can't let her out. Ours is pretty but not smart.

@jenniferghormley5209 2 года назад

Isn't it amazing what a little elbow grease will do? Great job! Your husband did an awesome job on the rug and has a crap ton of patience. Enjoy!

@katsspace4688 3 года назад

You could always paint/spray paint those white chairs black to spruce them up. Amazing family effort and it all looks lovely and inviting….enjoy💕💕

@jodiredfern5194 3 года назад

I LOVE your videos ❤️ real life stuff and not always Pinterest perfect. Love it!

@bethshebamattox8063 3 года назад

Turned out beautiful, but that muddy space I would put down sand or mulch with some plants along the border to stop them walking there.

@gwenloker8788 2 года назад

Great job and saving money. I love taking things we have already and making it better. Sweet family

@elsasalinas1519 2 года назад

Love the retro chairs. Backyard looks great! Thanks for sharing.

@stephaniechesser902 3 года назад

What if you spray paint your white chairs with a fresh coat of white with rustolium to get them Looking new at a good price without replacing them? Also when you go to get a new rug what if you look on marketplace first before buying new , since you have dogs

@divanana6393 3 года назад

I agree....paint those chairs!!!

@boonewsmith 3 года назад

I think the point is for them to look rustic.

@yvettemolina5473 3 года назад

I agree also. I really like them, they are so retro. Also I would put the rug down on that sitting area. Because the eating area would be easier to clean up if anyone would drop food off cleaning your feet from the mud. I would definitely put some gravel or small rocks with stepping stones on the muddy area which it would add more space to your patio area.

@vidproquo918 3 года назад

You might want to put the rug at the seating area and leave the dining table bare underneath. It would make less mud ultimately. You could also switch the barbecue area and the seating area. Unless of course, your kitchen is right off of that door in which case you do want to keep the barbecues there. Planter boxes made out of whatever and I do mean pallets or whatever right at the edge of the patio would define The edge and keep dogs and kids from running randomly over the whole thing and control the flow of traffic

@vidproquo918 3 года назад

Also that broken squeegee can still be used like a push broom. Don't pull it toward you, push away. If you own a drill, drill a screw thru both pieces to make it last longer

@LeafLikeOnATree 3 года назад

These are all great suggestions! Thanks for taking the time to share them. ❤️❤️

@marthawalker2111 3 года назад

Looks like some of the problem is that the downspout extension is missing.

@AWanderingEye 2 года назад

Good job addressing spring clean up. I would paint the metal chairs, tableset to match your new (?) swing. As to the perimeter of the porch, definitely address the drainage with sand/gravel then add a paver boarder about 2ft wide in a color that coordinates with your house exterior, maybe even add it along fence line (all folks who mow appreciate a straight edge and less lawn). ☺ PS maybe come up with a puppy paw cleaning solution near the entrance to reduce what they track in. I don't have a dog so you'll have to sort that but I imagine it would be easier on your door...what a lovely home you have!

@christinecoleman6460 3 года назад

Vinegar and water for your windows and paper towel to dry. Your windows would be perfect. Cleaning your screens with Dawn is great.

@LeafLikeOnATree 3 года назад

I'll have to try the Vinegar and water trick. That might help with the hard water build up.

@rubibloodking 3 года назад

Fyi for dirty rugs take to car wash take a big bucket to haul them in. Your 2 white chairs spray paint is the way to go. Have a good day.

@LeafLikeOnATree 3 года назад

great tips!

@cesileelambert8468 3 года назад

Looks Great!! You and your husband are a good team. Thanks for the inspiration..

@lunagabriella213 3 года назад

Oh no!!! Hmm, I think I'd put mulch all around the porch. If y'all have the energy, setting up a pee area would help too! *Steven's work ethic: 10/10*

@kristinfox8662 2 года назад

That is a good idea! However, I've added mulch so many times only for it to wash away, be accidentally hit with the mower, etc. I recently saw a house and the flower beds had shredded rubber from tires!!! It may sound a bit strange but it was so pretty and will last FOREVER!

@vickysullivan4798 2 года назад

Appreciate his no quit attitude. Appreciate both of you working together so sweetly on this project. Looks so nice and fresh. Plants make it look welcoming. 👍👍

@tonyaturner8555 2 года назад

Your husband has to be the most patient soul I have ever seen..... That squeegee would've gotten slung across the yard! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@missmustache4207 3 года назад

Put up some fairy lights or outdoor string lights

@donnahilber8701 2 года назад

beautiful result, lots of sweat equity from your helpful family. Love your cute dog, and I love how you did this so frugally.

@farmervee_yt 3 года назад

Oh, no! He was so patient with that squeegee. LOL

@kingj4940 Год назад

I love the realness in the beginning 😂😂😂

@TrinaMarie_Babygirl 2 года назад

First video. Maybe a small fence or something that can redirect traffic and add gravel where the opening is with walking stones. Lot of work. My mom always put the large rugs outside with soap and water let the kids play and clean them lol great memories.

@corinnestauffiger5693 3 года назад

I would put a big nice flower bed with some bushes in front of the porch. You could raise it a little and even plant some strawberrys or things like that for the kids to snack on. And you shouldbuy some duct tape to fix the broken stuff 😂

@dgexpressllc7450 Год назад

For the mud: no dig plastic edging and white rocks. For the bed before putting the rocks - level it out with a hand held cast steel stomper or stomp on it really good, add water enough to wet the ground and sprinkle a little ready mix concrete (with gloves and mask - not a kid project) then add the white rocks. Best to use the cast steel stomper over the rocks but feet will work then wet the rocks again so Concrete will bind a little with the rocks. Worked for us in the sandy FL state. 👍

@jackiebarnes1065 2 года назад

Beautiful place. Try putting the fountain in the middle of the white chairs, place all three items up aganist the window wall, the fountain brings seren.. to the entire patio. Also try making the fountain be alittle higher, because its beautiful... Blessings beautiful people.

@yvettemolina5473 3 года назад

Some throw pillows, red, white and black. Some lights. Another rug. Stepping stones with small rocks around to add more space to your patio space.

@vickysullivan4798 2 года назад

Havent laughed so hard. Busted yelling on video. Love ya for not editing it out. Enjoyed your handiwork. Your hardwork. Cleaning can improve any area. 👍👍

@jamiekonz9151 3 года назад

Hi. Good to see your pretty face. You inspire me. I hope you know how much it means to me that regardless of your busy life and sometimes depression, you are getting outside of your box and sharing your life and struggles. I want to do the same this year so if you would pray for me about it. God bless you and your family. Godspeed. -Jamie

@LeafLikeOnATree 3 года назад

Prayers lifted! God can do amazing things when we let down our guard. ❤️❤️❤️

@kelletttaylor5327 2 года назад

We had the same problem with mud and bought fescue grass that grew like wild.

@phobedavis7014 3 года назад

I love how you divided the patio into different zones. What about some outdoor lanterns?

@46millard 2 года назад

Put the black plastic down spout hose on the bottoms of your gutters and stretch it out away from the porch area, and I would put edging down about 3 feet out from concrete and put down weed prevention cover and use river rock over that with a few stepping stones. Make sure the gutter is cleaned also. If they aren't then in a hard rain they over flow and land right in the mud hole. Looks good girl!!

@nancyuren6456 2 года назад

Your are blessed with a patient hubby! The only other change I would have made is buy some Rust O paint & do your chairs red. Maybe some lights. Good work!

@rd6519 3 месяца назад

Love the hard work and making do with what you have. Beautiful!

@ankh7059 Год назад

Good job and great ideas!! Love the interlocking tiles!

@susanbarker9409 2 года назад

I would landscape the area with potted plants/flowers and mulch

@luzchapa6999 3 года назад

I know that it was hard work but all that elbow grease paid off! I couldn’t stop laughing with the number of squeegee breaks it was hilarious!

@lunagabriella213 3 года назад

😂😂❤️ I'd come over for a margarita and teaching advice! I think all I'd add to the patio would be some lights. All the red looks cute :)

@trishashaffer8278 2 года назад

Your so awesome! Thank u so much for including prices on stuff u purchased this yr and last yr! That is so helpful!

@sadieesther9721 3 года назад

Omg the dog while he was weed wacking 🤣

@diananore1368 2 года назад

Power paste, pink stuff, etc works for that door crud. I have 5 dogs and 12 goats who constantly attempt to open our white doors. It’s a daily flylady task. So satisfying

@61Rebekah 2 года назад

I would put that red rug in front of the red swing, put the two white chairs closer to the rug and swing, and put the little black table that is between the two chairs and use it as a small coffee table, and place the two white tables beside the white chairs. Which I feel would bring a more connected feel to the sitting space

@doreenjohnston7672 2 года назад

for the muddy area if you can use sand first then put gravel on top if you can’t keep animals off ! if you can keep off make a area of flowers and bushes with a narrow walk area of gravel.

@chelimartinez9999 2 года назад

When the squeegee breaks you can also use the broom. God bless you all!!🙏🙏

@gingerblack4528 2 года назад

If you put a nice flower bed in an l-shape on each side of the patio and leaving a walkway to the grass, it will eliminate them going off the edge to pee. Rotate the waterfall in the corner with maybe a few rubber tree plants and a few ferns around it to have more of a tropical look if you put gravel in that area they will not go through the gravel either. Possibly elevating the waterfall/ flower bed high enough so that it is not a convenient place to jump up to and potty!

@OhHellMichelle 2 года назад

Yep I agree with comments Def grab you some sandpaper sand rust spots on your chair and spray paint those babies the color of your swing then grab a plastic table cloth maybe not solid red but some splash of your spray paint color in it & Bam watch the difference. & A plastic chain at Walmart to lower your plants. But wow those 🪟 are shining girl!!! You won the lotto on your hubby so nice to see a man who has so much patience because let me tell ya..I would of had to buy a new squeegee after finding the old one I threw in the neighbor's yard 😄 🤣 I have the same problem with the mud too so I'm thinking extend my patio with octagon pavers & gravel. I threw straw down once & it helped for a few days but when it rained it was straw & mud!

@marypeters8376 2 года назад

Love your video.Fun but practical.The patio looks great! 😃

@ggman3333 2 месяца назад

Looks great! I love how you redecorated and organized everything without breaking the bank! I have the same issue with my dog she’s 3 year old husky/Shepard mix and I can’t leave a cushion out for a min before it’s torn up! I had a nice outdoor futon that I have to junk because the stuffing is all over my yard!

@paulabaus4774 3 года назад

Rustoleum paint for the chairs is a cheap fix for chairs. And paint the door. A fresh coat of paint will make a difference.

@marilynwilson7438 2 года назад

Yes holla ☺️ we all do it Camera loves it when we are real make us feel more human and makes us smile thank you you're phenomenal 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏⭐

@agh10620 3 года назад

I'm so excited to see this new series. I just enjoy watching your videos so much.

@appletonsdreamscapesladies824 2 года назад

I agree with the small gravel and stepping stones for mud problem. That is something your kiddos would be able to contribute to. Use container bottoms for craft cement forms and let them get creative. I would spray paint the retro chairs fun colors. Cheap easy pop of color. Great job on that budget size.

@Life_with_Tiffiney. Год назад

😂😂😂 that was too funny snot the rug

@veemedina7857 3 года назад

“Let me know..if y’all want to come over and have a margarita with me” hahahha made me subscribe 😂👏

Grass seed and straw is what we do a few times a year( we have 2 dogs, one who likes to dig holes!)😡 I’ve heard some people get pea stone( no pun intended there)😂

@LeafLikeOnATree 3 года назад

Pea stone 😂😂😂

@jillneer7305 3 года назад

I've pressure washed all my rugs with great results!!!!

@HeatherMcColl01 2 года назад

You need an outdoor rug for between the vintage chairs and swing. Gofo 5 Below, get a rug and some throw pillows for those chairs. Maybe some wall decor or solar string lights

@nancygold2928 3 года назад

Nice makeover of patio. Tyfs

@jacquelyngonzales6689 3 года назад

For the muddy area i would add some graven or more grass amd maybe out a guard on the too roof to make the water flow to the side away from your patio and you while you sit out there and relax

@shaneswing1114 2 года назад

Great job! Add more flowers and colorful decor sitting around. Just a little really spruces up a summer area!! Love you and Steven.

@vickiesantos5240 2 года назад

Beautiful children and God bless your Husband!

@dianefant9486 2 года назад

Flower, herb or vegetable beds around patio high enough so dogs won't get in the beds with a pea gravel walkway with stepping stones. Just idea add a chain to hanging baskets to bring them down a little. A bar area on wall near setting area. You have it looking good! P.S. Check out Goodwill or second hand stores for items. I have found new stuff or just need painting like bakers rack, patio decor etc.

@SRHMorbid 2 года назад

If you have gutters above where mud patch is could also cause that, I'd put one of those garden fences up throw gravel in it and later on make it a flower bed. But put the fence things along your cement slab to

@lorrainemaccarelli4655 2 года назад

Just came across your video. I Love how true to life it is.... pressure washer breaks .. etc. Great job

@judithtitterington3126 3 года назад

A tip my sister told me. Use car windscreen wash..... Works wonders, leaves no streak's.👍

@LeafLikeOnATree 3 года назад

I need to look into that!

@kristinfox8662 2 года назад

Hey!!! I stumbled upon your channel for the first time today! Thanks so much for sharing. You are hilarious!! Great job on pressure washing that rug, it worked wonders. I love the little tables you found at Five Below! I use them for plant stands! I also noticed that they have really decent sized outdoor rugs for $5. I'd thought about taking two and sewing them together with fishing line to make a larger rug and they can simply be sprayed with a hose to clean them. I agree with most of the comments here about pavers, stones, or even river rocks in the area of the yard where water stands. You did a wonderful job of using what was already on hand to create an inviting space for your family. Your kiddos are so cute wanting to help with the projects. I look forward to more videos in the future!

@mindyreff7414 3 года назад

The dump/recycling center has free wood chips. That might work well for high traffic areas!

@LeafLikeOnATree 3 года назад

ooooooo.... I need to see if I have one near me. Thanks for the suggestion!

@vickihoughton1123 2 года назад

Put rocks out in the mud spots, water will drain thru them and the dog paws won’t be as dirty. You can get many different rock sizes, pea stones up to pieces of ledge.

@pamdelong5113 2 года назад

Good job! I painted my metal retro chair's

@marvadollison1169 2 года назад

Great video real down to earth before and after, making little changes and the divided seating areas, nice maybe a few more plants and flowers, everything look beautiful and I see those squeaky clean,windows you and hubby and little man did good work. Best wishes many blessings thxfs💕👍👍👍👌

@julieg8228 2 года назад

Fake grass around our back doors has stopped allot of their tracking of dirt into the house. I can spray them off to clean. IDs helped so much.

@pattymcdonald6642 2 года назад

Any future plans on repainting the vintage metal chairs? If so, make sure you sand the rust off and use Rustoleum paint on them. I have my grandma's set that is similar w/the glider and I keep them from rusting and getting damaged by keeping them painted every 4-5 years. Keep hubby busy and keep up the good work!

@LeafLikeOnATree 2 года назад

Oh yeah, I for see a porch refresh video in the near future. That was a big suggestion and I’ve been itching to do it.

@cindikiser8282 2 года назад

You may have found an answer to your grass around patio. But ... Bandini had a fertilizer "7 Iron " that we used to help spots around the yard where my female dog peed. Helped lots👏

@user-ui1zv8bd4y 2 года назад

I live in AZ we have rock ( very small) as opposed to mulch. Its very hardy but you will quickly find you need to sweep up your patio after the dogs and also need to have footwear on.

@JanaSanders-q7t 5 месяцев назад

I liked the stepping stones idea, but I personally would try the grass squares first.

@veronicacarrington5824 2 месяца назад

I would frame in from one end to the other end with boards out to the end of the dirt part then lay lawn liner then add gravel

@janetdaley5462 2 года назад

You guys are awesome 👌👏

@bobsams2050 2 года назад

When you get a new rug, also put one in between your sitting area. Will bring it together.

@lisascreativecorner1442 2 года назад

I love my patio. And it doesn’t take much to spruce it up each spring. I wish I had one of those swing sets, but not in the budget this year; maybe next.

@alexaa321 3 года назад

Un cepillo más grande para la alfombra. A bigger brush for the rug. 😊. Congrats a satisfying job. Artificial grass to this mud area can be a good solution.
