With the weather warming up, I am sure we are all thinking about what we can do to spruce up our outdoor space.  The changes do not have to be an expensive undertaking,  rather focus on creating a space that is inviting and will add another room to your home in the warmer months.   Nature is always an inspiration for me,  take a look at what colors you will be seeing in your garden and replicate it with soft furnishings such as a patio umbrella or new cushions.

In this post, I will focus on budget friendly options, and of course, I will have to write another one with some fabulous finds that may be a bit more expensive, but we can dream, right?

Enjoy…
