You are SO relatable!! Fantastic baskets for lights. Excellent.

SEW a 12" band of crisp black cotton duck, outdoor fabric, to your curtains. They should hit 2 mm above the floor, kiss the air above the floor.

"I got a patio set and I didn't get murdered." So funny, you looking in my head? Really NICE sectional!
Love the rug, and, it's big enough!! Yay!!

Hang both baskets; hang the smaller one lower. Also, you could "dip paint" one of them -- say two or three inches of pure thick cream paint on the bottom edge of the basket/shade.

You COULD paint the smaller ome a super DARK blue (Newburyport Blue, Benj. Moore -- it's nearly black), or super dark forest green, or augergine!! Or black.

Ok, one more thing: You need to deeply water your plants -- put all the pots in a plastic tray w 2 inches of water for 2 hrs. Let them drink from the bottom draimage hole(s) up.

Once a week, unless 100 degrees, then water that day, too.
Add SLOW RELEASE FERTILIZER to each planter PER PKG INSTRUCTIONS, quarterly, OR 10-10-10 or 15-15-15 (balanced) fertilizer, diluted to half stremgth, once every 3-4 waterings.

Love that you stained the wood and didn’t paint it all and saved some of the original details!

Hi Taylor!!!! You seriously reinvigorated my love of thrifting over this last year and a half. I have absolutely loved thrifting since high school but totally lost sight of it in the last few years. The second it was safe enough to go back to my love… I did … and have ever since 💖 The pandemic made me realize that life is too precious to not do the things we love… You know? So thank you so much for inspiring me to do what I love… Now and always! And if you’re ever in the DC area girl… I will personally show you around all of the best amazing thrift spots in DC/Maryland/Virginia! Pinky promise!

great job, that alot of work! a bit of advice to keep/make the stone patio look and stay beautiful is to get some polymeric sand. you can get it in different colors and it will act almost as grout for the stones . all you do is spread is brush it into the cracks blow it off then hose it in! just a thought for this summer to freshen it up lol cheers

[watermelongal]

You did an amazing job!!! I cannot believe how cozy and beautiful it is!

[judith.corinne]

Looks incredible! Would love a cost breakdown next time!

[mizzystina]

It came out so dope! From the satisfying pressure wash to the diy lamp...The pillowS!!!! And the plants all complimented the space beautifully!💕

[ericasargent]

[lindavann]

That spacee Looks so

[rachelking]

I love your black and gold glasses. Beautiful job on the patio. Wish you gave a budget or total to accomplish this look.

[amazingvictory]

Omg you and your hubby were so funny and adorable. I love the way you thrifted and decorated the patio sis . Looks amazing and beautiful. Love you sis. 💖😍❤

[rebeccacollier]

Thanks for sharing, you've really cheered me up, and you and hubby are very entertaining..great Great outdoor space.

[pjcullinane]

Taylor, WOW! What a beautiful patio! I can’t believe that is the same outdoor space that we saw at the beginning of the video!!! The pressure washing made an amazing difference, and then..the couches, decor, plants..simply fantastic!!! They are GREAT! Thanks for the DIY info, I think that is a great idea! The grouping and the chairs (love those!) are also perfect and the way you pulled it all together with the candles and glass vases and the stones! What a clever (and successful!!!) idea with the DIY pillows! They look like they should have come that way! My FAVORITE part is the way you brought in some privacy, texture and d3finiion to the spac with those curtains, (Although I really loved your basket lamp as well!). One of the VERY BEST transformations that I have EVER SEEN on YouTube! You should be very proud—I am super impressed!!!! I would love to come for a visit and sit out on your patio and talk about thrifting and fashion! I hope you are happy in your new home! I can picture afternoons, evenings, and even your morning coffee out there! You will love that space for years to come! I know that, with your wonderful personality and warm friendly nature, you will have a whole host of new friends before you know it! Enjoy the patio, your new home and all the exploring you can do in a new place! Thanks for showing us the entire process! Loved it!!!! 😍
