But after living with it for a year, we realized a few simple changes and additions would make it a true outdoor living room, in essence, giving our home more usable square-footage, and fully utilizing the pool area. So of course I jumped at the chance to refresh our space!
The patio set and cushions held up well over the Winter, so I simply added a black-and-white lumbar pillow to tie in with the new striped umbrella.
The {DIY} Starburst Mirror is from several years ago, and we hung an old birdcage filled with battery-operated candles for additional lighting and decor.
I think my {DIY} Otomi Table just looks better with wear!
The bar cart takes up very little space, but adds so much storage and entertaining possibilities...not to mention ups the glam-factor!
Some of the problems we addressed with this new space include:
- No shade to hide from the sun and heat
- Seating arrangement blocked view of the pool
- Rug too small to protect all the loungers from the hot tiles
- Not enough serving area for entertaining
- No lighting
