DIY Outdoor Upgrades

Earthsense

It’s time to start enjoying your outdoor living space again.  Whether you enjoy the front porch or the backyard patio, here are some quick and easy DIY upgrades for your outdoor space.  Get crafty with some recycled aluminum cans by drilling small holes and painting them to create candle lanterns. 

  

Old patio furniture can be made new again with a little paint.  Sew old placemats together to create fun and cheap throw pillows.  Create an elevated seating area by placing wood pallets together – elevate the style further with paint and a stencil to create fresh design.  String up recycled mason jars to a tree branch and add a tea light for luminaries.  Need some more shade?  Transplant existing saplings, or propagate plants from the existing species in your yard.
