BEAUTIFUL PATIO DECORATING IDEAS // SPRING PATIO REFRESH // SMALL OUTDOOR PATIO STYLING

Hi all! Today, I'm sharing some beautiful patio decorating ideas! We were in desperate need of a patio refresh for Spring, so we spent the weekend cleaning up and styling our small outdoor patio space!
Over the last three years, my outdoor patio area has gotten quite dirty and needed some love. So, I took the opportunity to clean it up, purge some old stuff, and get rid of weeds that had grown due to all the recent rain in California. I also treated myself to some new plants, like the creeping Myrtle and Spanish lavender, which not only look amazing but also help bring bees to the garden. Speaking of which, I also got a new hummingbird feeder as my previous one was destroyed by ants.
I also decided to put my new power washer to the test by totally cleaning out my patio area, furniture, and chairs. I bought it on Amazon for roughly $100 and used it to clean everything in my garden, from the outdoor furniture to the rug. It was amazing how well it worked - everything looks as good as new now!
I'm excited to just sit back on the patio and watch all those beautiful hummingbirds flying around! My birthday weekend was a successful one filled with so many projects, and I'm super happy with the results!
Have you decorated your patio for Spring yet? Let me know in the comments below!

My husband was able to touch up stain our deck and front porch. Brought out the patio furniture and got it placed. Looking forward to warmer spring days and planting foyers. Hoping to get the vegetable garden started soon.

[@lindademerchant7627]

In Ct. I have done a lot of yard clean up between rainy days. I have a little more cleaning of the yard to do. After that I want to check to see if any edging is needed, then I can clean up the patio of things that need to be put away, and then I can take old plants out of 3 large planters that were given to me free and replant. After that start working on vegetable garden and doing seeds for flower beds that steady hold perrenials . I had already cleaned my 6 ft diameter fish pond.

Love all the purple flowers. Wish I could do the Spanish lavender, but I am allergic to lavender. They linked to the pressure washer comes up at 169 then I did see there was one for 99 was the $169 one that you linked the one that you got? Beautiful patio redo.

[@ValerieAguiar]

Hi Lisa! No, the one I got was for $99!

[@Life.W.Walkinshaw]

Loved this video the vibe is amazing but a fiends of mine is a zoologist and specializes in hummingbirds and others small species of birds and she says to not boil the sugar and water mixture as it dilutes it and the humming birds will need to drink more of it to get what they need from it. Hope this helps :)

[@user-wy9yc6lc9m]

I don't understand why you would leave outside all your furniture, rug and pillows all winter. Wouldn't it be better to store everything.

You will still get ants but here is a trick I use. Spray the line you hang it from with cooking spray and they won't climb it. Also I don't fill mine very full because it gets rancid in the heat and it's not good for the hummers. I just keep putting in fresh when it gets low. I haven't had any hummers yet. Anxiously waiting!
