[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Hey Guys! I hope you enjoy this 2021 DIY Patio Makeover! I’m finally painting my patio pavers, building a diy patio bar, and putting together some new patio furniture to create a lounge space! I hope you enjoy these patio ideas and are inspired to try your own patio diy! 💛💛💛

Sorry you answered it lol.

Megan, I really appreciate you sharing your patio makeover ideas 💡 with all of us. Your Patio turn out to be one beautiful space. I am now motivated to do and complete my own patio and have started with refurbishing my mother’s antique cast iron dining table which turned nicely. I will be building a couch, and refurbishing a swing, picnic table and old Adirondack chairs. Whew!!!! I have a plethora of other do to projects that I will be working on it may time to complete, but I will get it done. Again, Thank you so much. God bless. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❤️❤️❤️

Just came to comments as she invited solution ideas in comments- I wanted to see if any given. AND saw your comment🧡....it was exactly my thoughts....love that she appreciates and comments on her husband.

[@DeniseBangiyev]

All of that power washing was so satisfying! I think my favorite part was refinishing the patio pavers! Well done, you two! The decor is gorgeous as well. XO

Thank you! 💛

@@lovinglifeasmegan you’re welcome, and idk of you watch The Golden Girls? Your rug outside on you’re patio reminds me of Blanch’s room! I love it 💚💚💚

[@valoriekay23]

You did a gr8 job...I just love it! All your hard work paid off! Do you happen to know what tree or bush is planted in your back yard? You guys have so much privacy. We would like to also but the rabbits keep destroying what we plant. I love the way it looks so lush and green. Thank you!

[@donnawojdacz6969]

I would make another shorter “bar top” for over the frig, using shelf brackets instead of the cinder blocks (but keeping it the same height) moving the frig out of that corner and putting it against the wall that has the hose spigot. That would protect it from the rain, give you a place to put stuff that goes into the frig, etc. and provide a cohesive look. Good job, you two.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

We have to keep it in the corner because of where the plug is

[@mimi_to_four7151]

I agree but leave it in the corner and just make a corner shelf. It will be helpful to have a shelf there to put stuff on to bring out or going back in the house when y’all are eating on the patio.

[@JL-hw5hu]

@@lovinglifeasmegan I would put an awning onto the back side of the patio area to not only keep the refrigerator covered but that other bar area as well. It can be decorated to match your other decor look really nice and keep your family dry if coming in and out if raining.

[@ViKee010]

You and your husband are so loving towards each other. Never forget that love and take it for granted. This life is way too short. I love your patio ideas and my husband of 41 years and I are about to tackle something really similar. Thanks for giving me the ideas and that sweet little ode to your husband. They are so wonderful to have around and they love us no matter what. Most of the time. LOL. 👍🏼🤍

Great job ,and has definitely given me some inspiration for my back yard 😍😍

[@debra2415db]

30 Seconds outdoor cleaner cleans removes algae, mold and mildew from anything outdoors, different size bottles. I've used the one that can attach to a garden hose. I spray on wait 30 second. Then spray off with water, of course follow the package directions. Bought at Lowes. I've used this produced many times. It does an excellent job.

[@lashondadavenport8322]

I like a DIY and the purpose of labor of love or sweat equity concept. The teamwork and finish was nice.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Team work makes the dream work 😉

[@dodieroach5634]

I absolutely love this patio makeover! It is so beautiful. I also love your honesty in talking about your budget and how the paint wasn’t in the budget last year. This is only the second time I have watched you but it certainly won’t be the last.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you! I try to always be as honest & encouraging as possible. 💛 it’s easy to feel restricted by your budget, but I prefer to feel freedom in it 💛💛

[@pinklady3885]

It must be great to have a hubby who has such flexible times from work. Such a help.

[@jrw9725]

Loved your vid. My husband just did this same thing for a bar/TV stand for me on our patio!!! We also did the same with the patio pavers and painted it gray. I did go with a stone look alike vinyl on the patio because it is covered and he glued that down. Besides I did not have enough to do a real stone slate job. I am budgeting for that in the future. Oh, Derrick needs to purchase a hand truck/dolly to move stuff around. My husband and I are older with bad backs. lol. You all definitely need that dolly in the yard and moving stuff around especially those blocks. Every home needs a hand truck/dolly.

[@mjs5663]

You’re so blessed with your very loving hubby through his actions. Action speak louder than words 😃

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 amen!

[@paradisepr2157]

To cover the fridge, just put a shelf over it or a corner like table that’s a little higher and little wider over it... it can be used as an xtra counter space or put a beautiful plant pot on it

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

It’s an odd shape, so a table would definitely not work

[@dennisfeldman7799]

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

It is! It’s my favorite part of the patio! 😍

[@chrys7174]

We are retired and live on a very strict budget, so I totally understand. It's amazing what learning the difference between a "want" and a "necessity" is and go accordingly. I have to say that those "wants" are not missed!! The patio is amazing!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

This space is definitely a “want” but there’s nothing wrong with saving up money over time to be able to make the dream a reality. 😊 that’s the beauty of living on a budget, it gives you so much freedom to have your needs & your wants!

[@chrys7174]

Oh I agree. We surprise ourselves sometimes with being able to afford a "want" and get more satisfaction out of it when we do! 😊

[@jaimefauth5162]

Love the way it came out! Maybe build a wood wall around the AC unit to keep it concealed, but still accessible.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

We aren’t too concerned about it 😊

[@judyhibel2894]

It’s going to be noisy when it kicks on

[@roseortiz7967]

Your patio looks awesome!!!!! If and when you can, string up some patio lights, you can add some posts into some large planters, fill with some cement to hold the posts in place, then add some rocks, or add dirt/ soil to plant some flowers or fun grass. Put up a large corner shelf with brackets over the refrigerator to keep the rain off it, put plants and an outdoor speaker if needed. ENJOY.

[@hnycreek]

Love this makeover! Very cool. The only thing I was thinking though is how about butting up the bars so there isn't a space between them? I think that would be a more finished look.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I’m not sure what you mean.

[@j.koller452]

Gorgeous!!! For around your fridge, maybe have it sit on some of the painted cinderblocks and make a weather proof surround (wood or deck boards) might work. (Not sure!!) Good luck and you and your hubby did a beautiful job :)

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

Thank you!

[@anonymous-en5uq]

Yeah Derek! Good job, both of you.

[@bamagirl4055]

For the mini fridge.. you could build a little cubby from cinder blocks or pavers to protect it. Something to Incase it in?

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

That wouldn’t do well on top of it though

[@bamagirl4055]

@@lovinglifeasmegan I don't think I explained that correctly. I meant building a " cabinet" or cubby that you could slide the fridge into. Not to set on top of it or anything, but just a protective barrier. Like a smaller form of what you had, plus it will give you another table top in that corner. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@marybarton9792]

[@patticake6032]

This is why your my favorite channel!! Your so talented and I love how you save for your DIY projects!!, may I suggest getting the fridge off the ground? May be on a layer of cinder blocks to protect the bottom of it. And paint your entry stairs the same color as your cinder blocks. Love what you did with your patio

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

We aren’t going to paint the stairs lol

[@lollysaldivar3597]

Great job!! Everything looks aesthetically pleasing “but”, the concrete that shows beneath or the lower part of the house needs to be painted or power washed. Just saying 😉

[@lisamarie5764]

Yes ! I was thinking that as soon as she started the paint .

[@eleanorirving2475]

I agree and being OCD, I also noticed the area behind the steps could have been power washed for a more complete and thorough washing of the structure, even though the area was eventually hidden once the steps were replaced.

[@lystrawilliams9678]

Yes !! I hope she sees this and paint it

[@katherinecarrara3379]

Try building a triangle wooden shelf over the refrigerator matching your bar tops. You can use it to keep your bar wear glasses or serving platers for your guests. Stain it the same as bar tops. You can even place some potted plants on top to add color.

[@kerrispahn3813]

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

[@judyzennnaro7336]

I also painted the cement all the way up to the siding on my house, it made a big difference and I was pleased with the out come.

[@loricook7275]

Yes that’s the first thing I noticed, paint the cement up to your siding AND paint your steps to match!!!!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

We would have to paint the cement all the way around the house & the color would not match with the rest of the house.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

It’s such a shame that the first thing you would notice is what we didn’t do, and not what we did do. Painting the steps to match would be a safety hazard.

[@k.Newbbie]

@@lovinglifeasmegan I'm not sure it was a negative criticism , with the power wash work, it wasn't hard to notice 'those little bits' especially from the camera angle. Maybe you could do the stairs the same colour as the bars tops xx You defo got a 🥳🥳🥳 bargain with furniture AND the egg 🤑🤑🤑 My yard is too small for it, but want to get a rug similar pattern to yours. You both work very well together x

[@Tracer3]

WoW Super Well Done. Your hard work completely paid off. Looks Super Nice. Egg Chair nice choice.

[@tcr1130]

You could get this deck kites..they come in many differt sizes and colors..we just used pvc pipes in garden size pots or mounted the hooks on the roof you could do that and anythg not near the house get a nice size pot pour some rock at pot, pour in cement..all but a few inches to top...once PVC pipe is secure in concrete you can add dirt if you want to plant plants for colour or just finish with mulch...then you can run outdoor light strings along the edge of the kite...looks cozy and lights up your bar

You can make a small little table just over the refrigerator to hold cups and stuff

[@donate1sttt]

Suggestions Paint steps, paint under siding to patio floor, raise refrigerator by using cinder blocks and paint them. You can take 4- 4x4 s put a wrap around top, add a piece of plywood on top of wrap around for a ceiling to protect refrigerator. Your patio looks fantastic

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I have an updated video from this Spring if you want to check it out! 😊

[@cynthia2233]

It looks SUPER! All of that hard work and saving $$ was worth it! I had an A/C unit on a patio at one house. I built a simple frame and covered with a lattice panel that you can buy as a large sheet. It definitely hid the monster, couldn't do much about the noise, but it sure looked better ! When you power washed the rug, I could just imagine you going back to do the driveway, afterward! That's how I used to get when we got ours out! We bought a round, rotating brush at Lowes for the driveway. It saves hours! It looks even nicer if you go over it lightly with the regular nozzle after you use the rotating brush.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I’ve thought about doing that and then also hanging hooks on it to use for swimsuits & towels. We have a major repair happening to that unit next week though, so I didn’t see any point in covering it until after it’s fixed

[@cynthia2233]

At my current house, I bought a picket fence section at the hardware store to hide two AC units on the side of the house ( exposed to neighbors drive) later I added braces, so it would sit on the patio, and moved it to side of garage by the pool. It worked great for hanging towels and wet suits without any hooks. We put hanging brackets on back to hang pool brush and net horizontaly and put pool noodles/floats behind it.

[@darlenehackl4152]

Megan, I like your back yard patio great start to your makeover .

[@lukeminor6272]

Absolutely gorgeous! I love that it's so comfortable and draws you in to sit and chat! For that mini fridge I would wrap it in the same wood as the bar tops and stain to match so it's protected and it's cohesive. Overall fantastic job!

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I thought about that for the fridge, but i’m just not sure how I would secure it

Thank you 😊 the rug came from Walmart & is only $44! This is our second season with it & we love it!

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Megan & Derek: You may want to think about triangular "sails" for both shade & cover. They have a large grommet in each tip (so, 3 each sail). They are anchored, tied off with rope--to, either poles sunk into the ground, and/or into large "eyes" screwed into your house siding. They come in several colors or neutrals, & are very sturdy & weather-resistant. And, they look cool & perform well.

[@lovinglifeasmegan]

I am so glad that you didn't make us wait to long for this patio makeover. It is absolutely beautiful!!! I have to say that my next purchase will be a power washer!!!! That rug looked brand new!! I LOVE the egg chair. I just saw them at my local Target in the kid decor section. I think the girls need their own in thier size!!! Lastly I REALLY need to know where the fridge is going because that corner THING is making my OCD go through the roof!!!! 😆 🤣

The fridge is staying in the corner lol. That’s the only other electrical outlet we have outside.

Such a lovely makeover and brilliant idea to paint the pavers, looks so fab. So sweet of you to give a shout out to Derrick, too often do we take our husbands for granted for all the things they do.

I should definitely express my gratitude for him more often 💛
