I spent over a year renovating my house, and it was extremely exhausting. But now that I’m done with the interior, I’m focusing all of my efforts on the exterior! If you’re like me and are looking for ways to revamp your outdoor spaces, check out the following list of easy yet awesome one-day projects. And yes, they’re DIY and budget-friendly!
1. AC Unit Cover
Let’s face it – air conditioning units are pretty unsightly. Thankfully, you can easily make a much prettier cover to hide that ugly, clunky unit!
2. Window Boxes
Never underestimate the power of some flower-filled window boxes. Whether you choose to make your own or buy them, they easily add some flair to any outdoor space.
3. Hammock And Stand
How luxurious-looking is this DIY hammock and stand? I’m pretty sure I could lounge in this all day long.
4. Pallet Outdoor Dining Table
No great outdoor space is complete without a big dining table. You can easily make your own using old wood pallets!
5. Outdoor Shower
If you have a pool, a DIY outdoor shower like this one would be so perfect! I love the added hooks for hanging towels and wet bathing suits.
6. Storage Bench
An outdoor bench that doubles as a storage box is a genius idea. You’ll be able to easily store patio furniture cushions, pool toys, gardening tools, etc.

11. Outdoor Ottoman
Sure, you could spend money on a pricey outdoor ottoman. But you could also easily make your own using an old tire and some rope!
12. Kids’ Playhouse
Kids’ playhouses don’t need to be ugly and made of plastic! This DIY version definitely proves my point.
