Whohoo!! Here we are at the reveal – Yay!!! Last week, I finished putting the new fabric on the deck furniture, and this week I pulled together all of the finishing touches.By the end of last week I had spent $50. So that left me with $50 to complete my project 🙂 🙂 🙂
The last few pieces I needed to finish off the space included the following:
Pillows
I loved this print fabric and was so happy that it went with the Olefin. So I used it for accent pillows
Originally, I had chosen this fabric for the chairs. But I thought it would be a bit too much, so I decided to use it for accent pillows. When I was doing Greg’s condo, I purchased some pillow forms and covers at IKEA, which I didn’t end up using. Which is good, because now I can use them here! Cost of fabric for pillows = $23. Pillow forms = already had 🙂
Rug
The rug proved to be a bit more difficult. Originally I thought that doing my deck late in the season would be good, because I would hit all of the end of the season sales. But, I was mistaken… Silly girl, don’t you know that they are putting out Halloween, and Christmas decorations by now?! Luckily for me, I found a rug at Walmart. The size is 30″ x 45″, which really isn’t as big as I wanted for the space, but since the rug is only $16, I just bought two of them, and put them together!! (sneaky little blogger :-)) I don’t think these are actually outdoor rugs, but the combined cost was $32, so if they only last one year… I’m okay with that. And I LOVE the colours!!!! Plus they are machine washable. And no, they will not be spending the winter out there.
These are my 2 rugs put together to give me the size that I wanted. It worked pretty well. If you think the seam is running lengthwise…look again! it’s across the width. See the flowers don’t quite match up, It worked really well. And you can pick these babies up at Walmart 🙂
If you like the style of this rug, and there aren’t any left at Walmart, here are some similar styles:
And some similar pillows in case you ar unable to find similar fabric
Flowers
I had my eye on these beautiful mums for a while. I wasn’t sure if I would have enough money left in the budget to get one, but I did! This is actually the first time I have bought one of these beautiful plants. Isn’t is fabulous? Cost of Mum = $13
Free Accessories
So, now to raid my pantry for a few items to finish this off the right way. Prosecco anyone?
I have had this bottle of Prosecco in the fridge since Christmas!! Seems like a good occasion to crack it open 🙂 on the completion of my first $100 Room Challenge!
And here is the space all put together:

You did such a great job refinishing those chairs! I love the red so much! And the rug idea is so smart!
Thanks Emy. I’m actually surprised by how well the chairs came out. And I LOVE red!!
Your chairs look great! I would have done exactly the same thing with the rugs. 🙂
Great minds…. right 🙂
You did a GREAT job on the chairs and that rug(s) is perfect!!!

This looks SO good!! What a clever idea to put two smaller rugs together!! I love it!!
Thanks Rebecca, I was a bit stumped with the rugs, so I had to improvise.
They look brand new! Great transformation and now I want some prosecco!

What a transformation! Love the red! Cheers!
Thanks Nat!
oh my gosh i thought the same thing about outdoor stuff – its 80 degrees here until november and they put all the patio stuff on sale august 1! it’s bonkers.
I forget that they do everything retail practically a whole season is advance! Now I’m working on Christmas stuff and I’m probably already behind!! 🙂
Wow! I’m so impressed! I didn’t know those chairs could be rescued. And of course I love the red! Beautiful!
To be honest Miranda, I wasn’t really sure it could be done either! I was worried I might have to go to plan B. But they came out pretty well.
This is hands down one of my favorite transformations! You completely and totally rocked those chairs!! It looks like the perfect space to unwind and relax. I love the fabric you chose and your rugs look so pretty outside! Beautiful!
Thank you Melissa, You are so sweet! I was thinking about tossing them out before I started this challenge, and now they are like new, so I guess I will keep them.
Wow! Those before and afters are SO different. The added color is amazing! And I am so impressed with the chairs you made over. They turned out so well! I am so happy you decided to join the challenge!!!
Thank you Erin. Man, I had so much fun participating in this challenge. Such an amazing group of people. Thanks to you for hosting!
That double rug is brilliant and I love how everything ties together out here! I still can’t believe the transformation of those chairs. Beautiful job!
Thank you Meredith. Honestly, I didn’t think he chairs would come out as well as they did. I’m happily surprised !
Great job! The before pictures of your deck look even more depressing now when we see the changes you’ve made! Incredible! You must be sooo happy!
Amazing what a punch of colour will do, and this is pretty bright, so it’s a big difference. I love all the colour. Thanks Natalie
What a fresh and fun update! The colors are gorgeous and those mums are the perfect finishing touch! Nice work!
