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.

  • There's plenty of room under this bed for storage
  • All the slats are in place - 12 in all for this queen size bed
  • Now that our mattress is off the floor, it's so nice to be on the same level as the nightstands.
  • I had fun looking through our house for new bedding/decor to change things up after getting the bed built.
