Outdoor Patio Makeover: Quarantined Edition
I’m so excited to share my outdoor patio makeover with y’all. Its been a long time coming and I must say I am thrilled with how it turned out. I’m going to show you how I turned this drab area into our little oasis. Keep reading till the end to see the big reveal.
The Before Photo
First, I removed everything from the patio and cleaned each item. Then, Ken got out his power washer and cleaned the cement.
After Ken finished cleaning the cement, I waited for it to dry before moving all the furniture back on to the patio. Once dry I laid out my new outdoor rug I got from my friends at Boutique Rugs and then added the large furniture. Finally, I added the rest of the decor, the plants, and Ken strung the lights.

As you can see, our kids are loving the new look of the patio.
I’m going to link my Boutique Rug here. Be sure to use my discount code AUBREY60.
Here are the links for the other items:
I hope this inspires you to create your own little oasis for you and your family to enjoy.
Happy Shopping!

Ok Aubrey I wanted to take a second and commend you on this gorgeous blog! The way you have your site set up is so user friendly and I love how uncluttered it is! Ive seen some blogs that are just super hard to navigate and yours is not at all! So thank you! I love the patio refresh and how the decor ties into your home decor. Do you have any suggestions though for those who dont have a covered patio? How do you keep the furniture clean if the patio isnt covered? Would you just use a pressure washer or bring the pillows inside each day?
