DIY EXTREME PATIO MAKEOVER!| Pressure Washing, Painting, Planting, Decorating + Hosting!

Hey Ya'll! :)
In today's video we will be giving our patio space a much needed makeover. With summer almost being over we wanted to give this space an update so we can spend as much time as possible out here for the rest of the season! You guys have got to let me know what you think of the results! Also, I recently hosted a summer party here for a few special ladies! It was so fun to decorate, cook, and just spread joy amongst my friends! I hope to do more hosting in the future! 🍓🔨🧺🌼♥️
I love y'all so much! Thanks for supporting me! We made it to 150K subbies, an I'm grateful for each 1 of you! 💕

Hi loves 🫶🏾 Happy Monday & thanks for watching! Please leave all your ideas on what I should do about the water heater and what you think about everything overall! Love y’all ❤️

[@Mrsquick]

Zep mold stain mildew stain remover will clean the umbrella. Spray it and let it sit. This stuff is the truth! I even use it on our porch sidewalks. Bathroom, etc. It works. A deck would be lovely 😊 Add fertilizer to your clearance plants. This brings them back to life.😊

[@vickiemciver718]

I don’t find the box an eyesore, just my opinion.

[@Jade7159-]

On the glamorous wallflower channel, she built around hers with done gates.

[@rhondarhonda9688]

Hello Kayla & Marcus; Great inspirational video to watch, from 35:09 very cottagey & the classic music sealed the deal. London UK

[@shednalarue]

You could totally have Marcus build a cover with adequate spacing for air flow for the heater out there, but make it a planter box. I saw it on an Aussie remodeling show. Or make it like a butcher block top for outdoor counter space/ bar. ❤ another great video. The music is always soothing and you’re always joyous. God bless!

[@annegreene7690]

Who raised Marcus? Helpful home owner and husband. Most men work on the outside and nothing on the inside. Marcus works with you inside and outside. He’s a keeper!

[@carolsander3470]

Yes, he is!! He's one in a million!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

He’s a great man ❤

[@Jade7159-]

Wow your ladies luncheon was absolutely beautiful!!!

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

Right!!!!

[@fan1.028]

I believe those days are over

[@dianedunbar1805]

Thank you Marcus for your love for Kayla and helping pull such a beautiful occasion off. What a gentleman!

[@toniciabryan438]

I would leave the heater alone- build a cabinet around it and paint that white. I think a concrete deck will last longer than wood. Love the updates being done around the house.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Concrete is so expensive though! That’s the only thing 😭😅

[@striketochill]

@@YoungLadyBusiness You could try a concrete paver patio! That's what we did when we ripped up our old wood deck. Lumber adds up quickly too so instead of concrete, we put down concrete pavers until we can save up for that composite decking. They're only a few bucks per paver. Also, you already have the gravel layer so you're halfway there with the paver patio. Just make sure to pay for the GOOD polymeric sand that seals the cracks after you spray it down. Regular sand isn't good enough imo. We can sweep our patio and it's a much more solid foundation for furniture and the grill. Just an idea!

[@MsNandi-yf1lo]

@@striketochill Excellent suggestions!

[@Morethanjustflips]

Trex decking last as well. No upkeep. Wood you just have to seal every year and you won’t have to worry about rot.

[@striketochill]

@@Morethanjustflips Trex is soo expensive but the best. My in-laws just replaced their rotten deck with Trex and it looks amazing. I think they paid like $15k lol. (They paid someone to do it though)

[@lynedrafranklin9717]

Love how you and your husband come together and have beautiful ideas for the home. And I'm definitely going to try to squeeze a summer party with the girls and their daughters

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Ooo! That sounds wonderful! Let me know how it goes! I’m sure it will be fab 🫶🏾

[@ms.inspiration385]

Great job! Marcus with his great carpentry skills, can build a box to cover the heater with mini-doors (of course so you can access it) and then you can paint it to match the area or you can even paint some art on it. Addl note: Love the ladies luncheon. The decorations were beautiful and the food looked good!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

That's a great idea! ❤ thanks love!

[@vahs7163]

The joy you have in all you do is so inspiring 😊

What a beautiful job you did Kayla!! From the table scape, to that delicious fruit tray! Awesome job!

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@idawilcox5275]

OH MY GOODNESS that was absolutely Beautiful. It bought tears to my eyes. Just to see Ladies being dainty and feminine and just beautiful ladies. And coming together just to show love. Im out of words. Thank you for sharing your patio make over and your beautiful party. It inspires me to do one myself.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

awwww! thank you boo! 😍so so sweet, you are!! please do one! it was an absolutely great time!

[@ms.angieh2165]

I’m just awe-struck. The transformation was absolutely incredible. I was just smiling as if I was hosting this myself. The decor was my favorite part, next to the food prepping. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂❤❤❤ You guys have outdone yourselves, you should be very proud.. I soooo felt your frustration with that spray protector, girl…!!!!! Try using a baking soda, vinegar, dawn dish soap, paste and let it sit about 15 minutes on your umbrella. I have one that’s thinner, and a tad smaller than yours but it worked miracles for me. That water heater can either be painted or enclosed with a cute glass door to match the patio door. I truly enjoyed your content! Bless you both!!

[@bigneecee3126]

Kayla, this was an awesome video. I absolutely loved the party theme and food creativity. Your table setting was stunning.

[@meekyw.4010]

I luv that you're a young lady with an old lady old school spirit! I luv it!😊 35:23 so pretty, classy and ladylike!👏🏽

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

awww! so sweet! thanks! 🍓

[@Aisha_Chavah]

Everything is just so charming. You and and Marcus are such a powerful team. Also, the ladies luncheon was absolutely adorable. You’ve inspired me to host one. 💚

[@jackandlill]

Maybe build a wooden cabinet around the water heater? maybe one with louver doors or a louver door - I believe in you as a designer & Marcus as a carpenter = y'all will figure something cute out!! Or maybe thrift some type of shelf cabinet or such & flip it to work for you?!!

[@voicelessimpact3205]

Always such a beautiful job and it’s lovely to see the consistency of a couple, both contributing to the beauty of your spaces. I found your channel when you were looking for a home and you keep showing how much you appreciate God blessing you with this home. Consider an enclosure for the water heater. Maybe it can resemble some of the features of your shed.

[@tarataylor1743]

Kayla, you are just a ray of sunshine☀️

[@virgieroundtree4323]

Omg, Kayla you did that!!! And instead of another umbrella. Marcus did the best thing, get one of those patio/ cafe covers. Tell Karen (garden lady) and mom hi.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

hi boo! thank you!! that is such a great idea!! 😍 i will!

[@tanyadeejones996]

Kayla wonderful job on the party and tying it all together. You and Marcus are wonderful together. Team in life! Oh and just build a box around the water heater. That should be good enough.

[@melwill16]

What a beautiful idea, we need to remember to celebrate the important people in our lives more often. What a way to do it. ❤❤❤

[@donnamullins2089]

A trick to planting a big pot remove the plant and use the plastic pot to see where you need to fill with soil. Then remove the plastic pot and your plant will fit right in and look amazing. I would cover the water heater. Marcus can build a box easily, and you could paint and decorate. If it needs ventilation cut slots but tack screen wire on the inside to prevent insects from making it their chateau. Love your pretty grey and white plaid pillow covers. Party theme was so sweet and your food looked delicious. Beautiful presentation Kayla.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

greaat ideaas & tips! thank you boo!

[@mattiewilliams1138]

You and Marcus had made a believe life together and God of the Bible will reward that. Continue to smile and be the light you are and just watch God work. I started watching you years ago off the video of you painting your car and have been here every since. Blessings!!!!

[@patriciajohnson-platt4779]

That summer party was really nice🌸🌼🍷😊...the patio turned out great also as usual👌

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Thank you so much boo 😊🥰

[@donyelldancey4793]

Kayla THAT SUMMER PARTY GAVE ME SO MUCH LIFE!!! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! YOUR CREATIVITY IS THE BEST!!!!🙂🥰🥰🥰

[@user-vx7kg1lu7v]

Small Flower pots with matching flowers or plants in the black baskets on the ladder, cover the water heater with diy box and cover front with art, a sign or paint.😊

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Good idea!! Thank you boo! 💕💕💕

[@tracycline4167]

My husband and i have created a huge vegetable garden this year and its already time to harvest almost and start canning and freezing. It feels like we just planted it. ❤

[@pwilliams4155]

I love the summer party you had with your friends and sister! All of the flowers, decor and food were beautiful 😃 My daughter and I did something similar for the family, but it was a tea party with a similar cottage core theme…all her idea☺️

[@user-yy2pj2fz7w]

Kayla, I can't say enough everything in your patio area turned out so beautifully. You are such a beautiful soul hosting a party for all your special friends that are so very dear to you. They so appreciate you and love you so much. The food you prepared also looked so tasty and so great. May God so richly Bless You and Your Husband Marcus for all the beautiful things you do and also sharing with us your followers.

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

This is such a sweet comment! ❤️ thank you love 🫶🏾✨

[@lizrumbaugh6119]

Oh my goodness. What a beautiful party!!! Definitely amazing but I think the true unspoken best moment of this video was that you pressure washed your space with fuzzy slippers on. Epic. Simply Epic.

[@Ame2020v]

I think a deck is a great idea! Overall more pros than cons and a more level space for everyone to hang out

[@aundrakohlheim7115]

Love your summer party. I love how Marcus hung a sheet to block the sun.

[@jsts8056]

The party was my favorite part and the food was so cute! The way Marcus hung the sheet was so aesthetically pleasing! You may already know this but be sure to test dishes & cups from the thrift for lead!

[@judy5572]

You are just so sweet and cheerful. You can make anyone going through something feel so much better! You have the heart and soul of an angel❤❤

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

aww, thank you love! 🌼 such a sweet comment!

[@thislovelysmile8057]

Beautiful patio, I love seeing us getting together and truly supporting and enjoying each other💗💗💗💗💗

[@Ellajomillie]

For your umbrella, I suggest a 50/50 bleach and water. The stuff that is growing is not mildew it is moss. I too, live in Georgia and some years it's worse than others. I have never had any fading with my outdoor fabric.

[@yhineidy131]

Marcus idea of adding a deck is a great idea. It will be easy to clean and maintain. For the water heater, Marcus could build a box with a door. The box can be stained the same color as the shelves, and you can also add a vine plant. For the strawberry plant, add some kind of protection because the birds will eat all your strawberries. I love your party. It made me wanna hosy my own, but I don't have the space for it.

[@melissaabraham8826]

Like a floating deck

[@lindamargolies7759]

Yes, I’d take a pic of the wall with the water tank…take it to Lowe’s or Home Depot and ask one of the guys what they suggest. Good luck.

[@seanlittle29325]

For the hot water heater build a cabinet around it with shelves on the bottom....I suggest using the same type of boar and batten as the home ....hope this makes sense ..Love you and Marcus

[@YoungLadyBusiness]

Makes total sense! Love you too! ❤❤❤

[@nakibaspencer2267]

For the water heater, maybe you can get Marcus to build an enclosure for it. That way you can still have access to it. Something like 2 doors on the front of it. I have really enjoyed watching you Marcus fix up the house. 💕xx.

[@adriane1031]

Girl Girl Girl, the party was BEAUTIFUL.

You and Marcus could have a renovation business-hint, hint!❤️😃 Can’t wait to see the new outdoor addition.

[@jojones5462]

Hey Kayla, everything looks so cute. Think about painting the concrete the same color as the door and add palm tree between the two hanging chairs.

Hi Kayla You can purchase a solution called “Wet & Forget “ for your umbrella. You spray it on and let it sit and then spray with a water hose. We have used it to clean the awning at my job. Hope this helps 😊
