This little umbrella stand fromMom in Music City is perfect for your deck or porch. It's not huge like the patio tables, but it's still big enough to hold a few drinks or plates.
This is such an amazing, inspiring makeover from The Blue Eyed Dove. She felt her patio furniture was blah and needed a facelift. It looks so welcoming and just a fun place to be!!
Create.Craft.Love. turned a planter and a pizza pan into a cute little table to match her patio chairs. What a fabulous idea, right?! Don't forget to check out the whole furniture set while you're there!
Born Again Farm Girl put a hop scotch pathway into her garden for the kiddos. How fun and cute is this?! My little guy loves the hop scotch area at the park, so he would probably go crazy for something like this at home.
Happy, Healthy & Domestic turned a pallet into this amazing patio table! What a fun idea, just as long as you do more than enough sanding! Also, since pallets are so cheap, this table would be so inexpensive.
Babblings and More created a bench for her patio on of cinderblock. It doesn't look too difficult to do. Someday when I have a back patio, I might also have a bench like this!
I think this would be such a fun thing to have in my yard. It could either be used as a checkerboard, a chess board or to play a ton of games with my kids. Their imaginations would come alive with different ways to use this. Find out how at the DIY Network (found via The How-To Girl.) Go HERE for a checkerboard patio.
