My pool and front yard outdoor living areas were all done on tight and real budgets.

This is a collection of photos of my front yard "fireplace" sitting area and our backyard pool and cabana. They were all done a real life "little" budget. Some of it even "bartered". I share how we did it on my blog www.youaretalkingtoomuch.com.

    Looks like it was there for years, doesn't it? This was created through bartering. Just completed about two years ago.

    I pick up umbrellas at yard sales and CL. Adds shade and creates another "sitting" area.

    Looks like you began with a plan and executed it very well. I, for one, am a great believer in all can be achieved providing one is willing to invest sweat equity. Congrats on your projects!
