BUDGET BACKYARD PATIO MAKEOVER: 11 Cheap and Easy DIY Decorating Ideas and Projects

[@CanterburyCottage]

Hope you find some inspiration in today’s video! I can’t believe that I forgot to mention that all of my patio furniture was purchased at Goodwill-the dining table and chairs, the fire pit, and the chairs around the fire pit! The umbrella, grill, some of the pots, and one pillow were the only things I purchased new!

[@nowvoyagerNE]

oh, so the outdoor coffee "table" was a fire pit. i wondered about that. nice!

[@VioletJoy]

That's awesome!

[@susanlarberg2380]

Everything beautiful but no doll head! Lol

[@VioletJoy]

@@susanlarberg2380 🤣 I have a couple of friends who would love that and I know way more people who would be freaked out. 🤣

[@rbh1324]

Mother's taste is just so exquisite!♥️♥️♥️ and no doll head...maybe a bunny or something similar.

[@vickihenderson6194]

By far, the best DIY for patio decor on the internet! You really think outside the box! I loved every idea and the fact that most things are thrifted. You really have a gift. You gave me a lot of inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Wow, I am so flattered!🥰 I am so glad that I can give you some ideas to try, Vicki. Thanks so much for watching and for the lovely comments!❤️

[@cmflow69200]

Wow! You are awesome I loved everything.

[@SSS-eq3ky]

I totally agree. She’s got a bigger vision then most outdoorsy you tubers n I can’t wait til spring n summer yardsales start happening to create master pieces for my yard too

[@yvonnedee9243]

I agree great ideas you certainly have a talent .

[@kflouv]

I really appreciate how much you pack into your KZbin videos. It’s clear that a lot of thought, time, and work goes into each one and everything is very beautifully presented and displayed. It is a treat to watch each one. Thank you!

[@jamiewestmoreland684]

You are just a genius!!! One of the top three ladies of DIY. I could watch your channel over and over.🥰

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, my goodness! That is a HUGE compliment! I am so flattered! 🥰 I’m curious about your other favorites because I have several channels that i enjoy.

[@anaitam1357]

The chandelier & fern pairing is to die for! What I love about thrifting and repurposing is that it makes your home truly unique and gives things that already lives in cozy feel not that stark store bought look.

[@beebuzz959]

Right! I'm not crazy about my home looking mass produced and like everyone else's.

[@andreagorham1985]

I wish I could look at things at the thrift store and have a vision for it like you do! So creative 💝 I love the chandelier made into a planter and the pretty way of disguising a cooler! Thank you again for another beautiful and inspiring video!

[@CanterburyCottage]

You are welcome, Andrea! I am so glad that I can give you some ideas to try! 😊

[@wendyeskelin8765]

I LOVE the fern holder you created. I've never seen a light like that but I'll keep an eye out now !!

[@PattyPaints]

Loved everything, Sherry. My favorite was the chandelier turned fern hanger. As for the doll head... I've seen them popping up on fb lately so they must be a thing?! Not exactly my idea of whimsical. lol (Although my inner imp now wants to hide a doll head with a light tucked in to shine through the eyes at night somewhere in my yard to see who notices.)

[@PattyPaints]

@Dory Frisque 😂😂 👁️👁️

[@rhondayoung326]

Cool idea for Halloween!!

[@CanterburyCottage]

Oh, Patty! I think that is a hilarious idea! I looked at Goodwill yesterday, but they didn’t have even one doll! I’ll keep looking! It will have to be a battery operated light I would think because solar wouldn’t work unless you cut a hole in the top of the doll’s head.😜

[@aimee-lynndonovan6077]

That iron chandelier planter was beyond brilliant , and other deco planters too!😸😻

[@TuckerSP2011]

So many wonderful ideas! I loved how you used all of the elements of the chandelier. Those projects came out great! Loved the baby buggy planter too. You've made a very welcoming outdoor space.

[@CanterburyCottage]

Thank you!🥰 I am so glad you liked it! I was so excited to discover that the socket covers were metal (and not plastic, like you find on most light fixtures)-perfect for a wind chime!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the Chandelier to a plant stand!!!!!!!! I was just thinking where did you get that, than you showed it, would've never thought to use a chandelier as a plant stand/hanger. I just LOVE how your thinking is, to use such unique items to make gorgeous items. It makes such an impact! I'm always on the look out for beautiful and unique stands, I have to start looking up, lol. The patio makeover is gorgeous!!!! Can you make a video on plant stands/hangers using different and unique items please Sherry??? Such GREAT inspirations, keep up the brilliant work.

[@loiswood3363]

I can’t decide which is my favourite - the chandelier planter is so beautiful, the cooler table is genius, the hummingbird thermometer is so creative! You come up with ideas that are so unique. I love the quality and care you put into your work, they are built to last. 💕🌼 Thanks for sharing!

I just stumbled on this video and am absolutely blown away. Sherry’s ideas for transforming a space using thrifted and dollar-store items is among the most inventive - and attractive - I’ve seen in KZbin. Her video is brilliant in the way she shows and tells each step, yet she edits it in a way that doesn’t slow down the pace. Not only have I subscribed to her channel, I set it to notify me when she loads a new video, a first for me. That’s how much I want to make sure I see every single one. Thank you, Sherry. I so appreciate the time, skill and care you put into your how-to video.
