How Do You Solve a Problem Like Tired, Faded Patio Furniture?

While my balcony is far from depressing, winter left my outdoor furniture looking tired and faded.
Replacing the set--even just the cushions--wasn't an option, so I needed to figure out a way to liven up the space using a $100 budget.
Follow along to see how I turned my space from drab to fab!
Here's my before: a beautiful setting with furniture (particularly cushions) that needed an update.
Any amateur can tell you that throw pillows are an in expensive way to update a space so I logged on to Wayfair.com to see what they had to offer.


Initially I was grooving on the tropical pillows above. (I thought they would go great with the blue and green rug!)
But then I got sidetracked by these pillows. (I've lived in all of the places represented.)
I finally decided on this super-fun pillow.
I paired the pillow with this throw.
The result is an inviting (and colorful!) space!
