DIY outdoor sectional!

My favorite word today is progress... why you ask? Because after starting this little adventure to making the best use of our outdoor space a few months ago and coming up with our brilliant budget I feel a strong excited feeling that you only get when you’ve accomplished something great on a thrifty awesome low price!
I started a little project (as all projects starts) to make our own outdoor furnishings because it’s a challenge to optimize every inch of a space when you have to buy pre built awkward sized furniture. So we searched and searched for some examples of modern decor furnishings for outside that were (a) easy and (b) thrifty! And we ran across this!


POW! BAM! BANG! Yes... the floral kind of overpowers even me but underneath? A Simple modern looking sectional for outside and that’s when a dream was born (I had a dream, where brown and purple came together as one to create so much floral patterns). So off we went to the hardware store purchased 80$ of wood and some screws with a tiny saw and off we went in progressive stages... lets follow shall we?
Stage One the first section:



Stage Two the first section meets the second section:


Stage Three introducing the BENCH:

That makes us one step closer to completion! Now to putty the wholes and get our staining on!
