Vanessa shares 70 DIY outdoor projects you can do this Summer.

She begins the post with:

“From planting a small flower garden to sprucing up your outdoor furniture, many of these projects will take you less than a day to complete and some may not cost you anything at all if you have a few basic supplies on hand.

Go ahead and get ready for summer by adding some beauty to your outdoors. From DIY stepping stones to marvelous outdoor patio furniture that you can make yourself, this collection has it all. There are even instructions for how you can add a little color to a stone patio and wonderful ideas for dressing up boring fences and adding a bit of privacy.

Whether you choose on project or choose them all, we are certain that you will find something that will instantly improve your outdoor décor and give you a great reason to get outside this summer.”

There’s a wealth of excellent projects and tutorials in this post. What I like is that you can do a lot of them with your kids.

• Rainbow trampoline
• Steel pipe garden edging
• A gnome home
• Glowing orbs
• Build a backyard smoker
• Build a backyard couch
• Build an outdoor table
• Build a living teepee (I love this one!)
• Chair planters
• Outdoor fire pits
• And More!

No two decks are alike which is why they’re so wonderful.  They’re an extension of your home and your personality.  They also tend to be the focal point for families in the summertime.  In good weather you can eat meals together outside, entertain friends, and just sit and enjoy nature.

This article in Apartment Therapy may give you inspiration and ideas for your own deck.  There are 10 different deck designs with photographs and links to detailed articles about each deck.
