Patio Makeover! DIY trellis, thrifted decor, & plants you should grow this Summer!

[@ClaireDeom]

It's beautiful, peaceful and soothing! I would paint that free chair, use it and enjoy it until it falls apart.

[@EmilyGarbe]

It’s too cute to toss right??

[@rcaoili1]

So inspiring…..and Mother Mary is perfectly placed where you can just so adore her. May God bless you and your family!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Amen! God bless you also 💙

[@terrizimmerman5297]

I would spray paint the chair and put a cushion on it for a second lifecycle.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Could def add a cushion to cover the spot! Thanks! Its cute

[@catherinekostecki5740]

You are just adorable. Can’t believe you have those babies and all that work. You are quite amazing. Everything looks beautiful.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Haha they love being out there so might as well be out there with them doing something 🥰

[@UpstateGrammy]

You will love the scent of that jasmine! 🦋🦋🦋

[@EmilyGarbe]

I’m so excited for it! We had it around our home where I grew up and it brings back lovely memories

[@djmacsgarden]

Enjoying God's world is so relaxing and amazing to me! What a gift!! I see that you share the same sentiment, even in the summer Florida heat. Enjoy your little ones. As I'm sure that you have heard a multitude of times, they grow up so fast❤

[@taraweathers1606]

It’s so magical at night!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Isn’t it 😍🥰

Hello, FYI cut the thorns from the Bougainvilleas branches. They will not grow back! Game changer!!! The Star Jasmine are fast growing especially the 2nd year. The more you trim the more new shoots come out. I personally stopped trimming them b/c of the milky sap. However, come April the intoxicating citrusy scent is worth it and the blooms are breathtaking! I have one that’s over 20 years; it’s over 12 feet wide and it’s a show stopper especially during its blooming season, March. I live in garden zone 10a. It may be different for your zone.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Did not know that about the thorns or the growth with trimming. Thanks for the tips!!

[@crystalkirkland781]

Rotting chair- scrape out rot and use something like bondo to strengthen and fill.

[@EmilyGarbe]

Wouldn’t have thought of that! But that does sound smart!

[@ritastutler1470]

Hi beautiful Emily you are amazing. Two little boys and a baby boy and you keep so busy. My husbamd took a few days off and once today he said don' t you ever sit down. I dont know a lot about pruning though...maybe you can teach those of us who dont know. One of our friends died unexpectedly and he had given us a piece of jade. It is huge now. We named the plant Chuck after him. I love the finished look ...its beautiful. O love the new swing and the free chair. I am sure your husband know a fix for the chair. Even if you have to wrap twine around the bad part and then make or buy a pretty cushion for it. It is way too nice to throw out. The patio at night is magical. My neighbor just put in a garden shop within walking distance from us. Her plave is magical too. She has beautiful one of a kind items. Emily, your boys are so adorable. The baby has grown so much. I dont know if you did a vegetable garden but ours has failed for two years. I said i was not helping this year, but guess who does most of it..Me 😅. We are going to be able to share tomatoes next week. We have these little sun gold ones..they are like candy. We will have green beans, zucchini, peppers,and hopefully pumpkins and gourds. I can not wait to see what you do with your family room. I love to change things up. I can not keep my nails nice. Girls who dig in dirt can not have pretty nails , but we have fun dont we? I love that the boys asked you that after seeing your knees....precious memories. Love you and your channel. ❤❤❤❤

[@EmilyGarbe]

Aw what awesome way to remember him! Haha we found very similar with our lack of time spend sitting. I’m working on figuring out how to rest a little more these days. It does catch up to me! Thank you for all your kind words ❤️❤️❤️

[@robincox8359]

Your back yard is so beautiful and serene.❤

[@EmilyGarbe]

Thank you!!

[@jeanine6492]

There is a product that you put on wood to stop the rot and strengthen the wood. You can easily replace those canes, they start straight then you soak them in warm water until very pliable maybe not a beginner job but plenty KZbin’s on it. New sub from Australia here. Hi!

[@donamurphy8182]

I really like that rattan chair you want to paint. I think it still has plenty of life left in it!

[@tamarahenderson9615]

Great patio makeover! Love how you used what you had and made it better and better as time went on.

[@susanm8957]

Hi from central FL😊 Ya, I too have fought with bougainvillea 😢 mine is on a backyard arched arbor, away from the house & is gorgeous! Thought: you can spray the pea gravel with a glue-type product to keep it in place. 😊 we recently got a small flame thrower gadget to deal with weeds in pavers, etc--- Gamechanger!!!!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Oh yours sounds lovely! I’ll report back if our survives the transfer 😬 I don’t mind the rocks being displaced. They love playing with them haha

[@yulafranke]

I would buy black twine and wrap the frame of the chair, and add a pillow or two. ❤🎉❤ God bless the work of your hands!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Hadn’t thought of twine!! Thanks for the tip ❤️

[@ireneromero5326]

Love the makeover of your patio!😊❤ Chair would look good painted black and give it new life! If it doesn't work out you can put it out by the trash .😊

Could you put wood filler in the rotting area, paint it and find a cushion to give it a longer life? It’s super cute!

[@EmilyGarbe]

Hadn’t thought of trying some wood filler. I don’t know why not!

[@bf4744]

Looks really nice. That was a lot of hard work but it paid off. I would definitely keep the free chair.

[@tammyleviner3070]

Sorry I'm late seeing this video, the past 10 days have been a boy crazy🤪lol Yeah the bougainvillea is a beautiful plant but more for a tree line or along a fence or something like that. Star of Jasmine is a good climber for a trellis. One of my favorites to plant on a smaller trellis is the Mandevilla, it has beautiful deep red flowers but its not as big or it don't grow as l large as the star of jasmine. I think the jasmine will be really beautiful there on your trellis! Where I lived in TN I had a large covered front porch with a swing, my fav place to have coffee on the fall mornings, looking out across the beautiful painted mountains across from us. I've always loved a porch swing, my old granny had one on each end of her big old farmhouse porch & i was there every day playing on those swings 1😊 My daughter lived right behind us, in TN, and she had the egg swing & another one similar to this one, both were super comfy, i know you guys will enjoy it!😊 I would keep the chair for sure, probably spray paint it & find some cushions for it. You could maybe get one A bit over sized & it might help cover that one place on it. Its really not a bad little chair. Emily i think your lanai turned out perfect, its really a beautiful space! I'm thankful God prunes me, cuts away the "branches" in my life so that there is more room for growth🙌🏻 Thanks so much for sharing😊

[@EmilyGarbe]

Aww your porch sounds beautiful! I really should have asked you guys for recommendations for another pot I want to redo! You guys always have so much wisdom 🤍thank you!

I'm a fairly new subscriber and I love your upbeat videos! I'm into diamond shapes these days so I"m really liking the jasmine trellis idea. I'd also like the diamond rug link if you can add it - or did I miss seeing it in the description? We have a new outdoor patio cover project going on and I'm looking for items for when it's time to decorate.
