Beautiful Outdoor Area On a $100 Budget!

I created this outdoor patio area for my husband I after we had just got married. Everything you see in the pictures cost around $100.00 using Dollar Tree, Ikea and Big Lots! I was so happy with the way it came out.

I had a plug in chandelier that I had purchased for my wedding that I knew I wanted to use centered above the table, and that's how my ideas got started. I then hung Lill Curtains ($2.50 from Ikea) Around the entire patio and it really changed the look instantly.

For a complete breakdown and helpful tips to get the same "look" you can visit my blog at:

    Ashleigh, you're such a beautiful person! thank you so much for your insight to the great ideas that you have...I also am a stickler for color, so I know what you mean...the colors you have are gorgeous. The whole outdoor room is just amazing & can't believe it was done for a budget under $100. I am going to work on my back porch & try the curtains & see if I can find a chandelier...thank you so much for your wonderful ideas!!! God bless you & your family...

    @ Marsha. Try gluing velcro strips. (Some comes self stick.)

    Ashleigh. It's gorgeous!

    Good taste, Vicky! I love that chandelier, too!

    Where did you say you purchased it, Ashleigh? I am looking for some ideas (found a great one...your chandelier!) for my poolside patio. I can't wait to shop for that light. Was it also available in colors? Thanks...I love your roon! P.S. Big Lots, garage sales and roadsign signs are my favorite places to shop!
