Hi, I am super excited to be talking part in the $100 Room Challenge for September 2017!!! Thank you to Erin at Lemons Lavender and Laundry for hosting this challenge! If you would like a bit of background on the challenge click here:$100 Room Challenge To be honest I don’t really have too many spaces left in my home that need to be updated. I live in a 960 square foot condo, I have been here for 8 years, and I’m addicted to renovating so… limited selection. But my front deck is looking a bit worse for wear, and could defiantly stand a refresh. Here are my before photos

Here is my deck, with my aging sling set. The deck inn’t looking too bad as we just gave it a scrub a couple of weeks ago.
This is your standard 7’x12′ condo deck off of the living room. It has vinyl decking, which is nice and easy to keep clean. I bought the sling set at Zellers (Oh man, I loved that store!!) about TEN YEARS ago, I have defiantly gotten my money’s worth out of it. It’s still very sturdy although a bit worse for wear. But it works really well in the space so I want to refresh it and give it a new lease on life.

BBQ tucked away in the corner beside the door.
There is a small table too, but it’s currently doing fan duty (acting as a table for our oscillating fan) in the living room 🙂 Here is my game plan for this 4 week deck refresh under $100.
- Clean and declutter (Step one of ANY project:))
- Disassemble sling chairs
- Sand/paint chairs
- Replace fabric
- Buy rug
- Accessorize! (depending on my budget!)
Now I must head off to the fabric store to see if I can find a good deal on some fabric for the chairs and footstools. Once I get the fabric it will determine how much I have left for the rest of the refresh. Here’s hoping for a sale! See you next week! If you want to find out how this turns out, subscribe to my blog, and you’ll get an email when I post!
Good luck! Can’t wait to see how this turns out!
Thanks Emy, me too!!
This will be awesome!! Excited to see the finished space!
Thanks Elizabeth. I’m excited too, can’t wait to see all the challenge spaces!
this looks just like the porch on my former condo! I can’t wait to see you re-cover those chairs that will be a fun project!
Hey Morgan, I know hey? It’s the classic condo balcony. Lucky for me I have a second one (which you will see soon) which I refer to as my “back deck” and it’s much bigger.But these one are standard condo fare! Hopefully I do it justice for all those tiny condo decks to there 🙂
Wow those chairs sure have held up nicely!! Its always nice when you buy something and it holds up so well. I can’t wait to see what kind of fabric you find.
They really have, and when I bought them I got 60% off!! Yay sale!!
I think small space can be as much a challenge as a big one! Can’t wait to see your chairs when you are done with them!
Thanks Natalie, I should have the done just in time for rainy season 😉
How fun to makeover an outdoor space like this! I can’t wait to see how it looks with new fabric and a rug!
It’s going to be bright!
Exciting! I can’t wait to see how you refinish those chairs! And I loved Zellrrs too ?

Yup, that was my go to store for lots of cheap household stuff. Glad to know someone else misses it too!
Can’t wait to see what you do!
Thanks Amanda. it’s keeping me busy
I can’t wait to see how you refinish the chairs – very impressive plans!
Thanks Lindsay, I contemplated doing my laundry room, but the thought of having to move the stackable washer and dryer ended that one in a hurry!
Cannot wait to see what you do with those chairs! You have great ideas for this space. Happy to having you joining the challenge this month!
