This is a beautiful/cozy patio…the mixture of flowers are stunning.. Happy Birthday to you, gardening is a special gift to give to yourself…that’s what you enjoy! Blessings!!!
Thank you! Thank you! I never would have thought I would love it so much when I was younger but it really brings so much joy and serenity! You're right, it is such a gift!
My husband was able to touch up stain our deck and front porch. Brought out the patio furniture and got it placed. Looking forward to warmer spring days and planting foyers. Hoping to get the vegetable garden started soon.
@@ValerieAguiar wow that’s good to know! They still look fresh and classy!! I live in Northern California- so I think we have pretty much the same weather.
I have binge watched about 50 of your videos AND have watched literally thousands of DIY dupe videos done by dozens of other RUclipsrs and I must say, you are by far the best at DIY combined with remarkable decor taste. I so enjoy watching and you have inspired me to do so many updates in my home so thank you!
This is so sweet! Thank you SO MUCH for the comment! I absolutely love seeing people getting amazing value out of my content. It definitely inspires me to keep going! 🙏 Have a wonderful rest of your day!
Trash cans keep disapearing in my neighborhood. You can't imagine how much that interferes with life. But I am right there with you on getting rid of the clutter and eye sores. Loved your lavender/pot combos. Gorgeous. color pallet also inspiring.
Hello Valeriee - and Happy Belated Birthday. Glad to see you're doing well. Excellent video with superb production values - particularly your use of lavender. Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on patio decorating for the spring. 😍😍.
Happy Birthday 🎂 Your patio turned into a beautiful space. I think it's great that you made the table and potting bench. Staining the table or spraying tray with a clear clear coat to withstand the elements.
Que bonito se ve todo, lo que más me gustó es las macetas de lavanda ❤. Vivo en Arizona y hace demasiado calor, pero ahora que me han puesto una malla sombra, creo que ya podré tener esas bellezas de flores en mi patio 😊
In Ct. I have done a lot of yard clean up between rainy days. I have a little more cleaning of the yard to do. After that I want to check to see if any edging is needed, then I can clean up the patio of things that need to be put away, and then I can take old plants out of 3 large planters that were given to me free and replant. After that start working on vegetable garden and doing seeds for flower beds that steady hold perrenials . I had already cleaned my 6 ft diameter fish pond.
LOL... I knew it would be! I get sucked into those videos every time! Figured why not try my hand at incorporating it into one of my videos as well?! 😂
it was just what I needed today to watch your video, it was great ideas for our patio, we have 80 cm snow here today and you cheered us up you have Great ideas Thanks so much
Aw, thank you for the kind words. Spring will be here before we know it! I am dreaming of sunny days in the garden as well. (As I look outside to gloomy skies, wind, pouring rain, and huge puddles 😩😄 )
Happy Birthday! I’m so happy I found your channel.😍 Your patio and decor is totally my style, I’m working on my outdoor space too. I’m a novice gardener, so I’m excited to share my new passion with others. Thank you for the inspiration! 🪴
Hey Valerie 👋 HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎂 My birthday was last weekend too( the 21st.) That must be why we are so much alike 😊 I don't have an outdoor space ,but I did find a beautiful Pottery Barn vessel at the thrift store for $10.00 & it's huge , so that was a great birthday 😂 Your space turned out beautiful ❤️
Love all the purple flowers. Wish I could do the Spanish lavender, but I am allergic to lavender. They linked to the pressure washer comes up at 169 then I did see there was one for 99 was the $169 one that you linked the one that you got? Beautiful patio redo.
Cozy and lovely patio with beautiful flowers and decorations. I got some good ideas for my garden. where did you get the small stons on the flower bed.
I love your vids! Could you share the type of planter (ceramic, resin, etc) you used for the patio umbrella holder project. What is the width of the planter? ❤❤
Loved this video the vibe is amazing but a fiends of mine is a zoologist and specializes in hummingbirds and others small species of birds and she says to not boil the sugar and water mixture as it dilutes it and the humming birds will need to drink more of it to get what they need from it. Hope this helps :)
I'm also in Southern Cal, what do you do when it rains after you have done all that cleaning? Do you have covers to put over your furniture? I saw it's supposed to be really hot this weekend and then rain again next week!🤦♀️
Usually I'll try to look at the weather and make sure most of the rain is done, but it happens every once in a while. Luckily, we didn't get any rain up here after cleaning so I've been good! 💕
I love the idea of your plate for your myrtle. It was something I planned on doing this afternoon. Bought everything at Home Depot yesterday. I already had the clay plate. Woke up in the middle of the night...hmm did she have a drainage hole in her plate. I think I see one, but will ask anyway. Do you have a drainage hole in it? Mine doesn't.
Hi Stacia! I do the same thing at night! 😆 Funny how random things will pop up in your mind! There is a plastic tray I used and I cut a hole in the center for drainage but also to allow the pvc/ tube for the umbrella stand. The full video tutorial is here, it’s really easy! ruclips.net/video/br2FboUhLCg/видео.html
It looks beautiful! I think the prices on plants are outrageous now though. It's hard for me to spend $20 on a plant, unless it is a perennial ❤ my one splurge is always 2 huge Boston Ferns I hang on the porch and I try to catch those on sale! 😊
I know, the prices on things just keep getting higher and higher! 😩 I definitley find it worth it if I can enjoy them in our space at home. Its cheaper than therapy! 😂😀
@ValerieAguiar Do you transplant your Lavender into the landscape at the end of the season? I've started using perennials in containers if I can..that way they come back the next year. Like the miniature roses, Hosta, Elephant Ear bulbs, tulips...just whatever. It's way cheaper! 😊🩷 I just thought after I wrote this...Lavender will come back next season in the pots, if you can keep it living, lol
At my old house, I had hundreds of hostas and quite a few ferns. I was on a limited budget so I would just dig some up, pot them and put them on the deck. I also took old wooden shutters. Without hammering anything, I just put them vertical, folded them at 90° angles and put a big tile on top to make a table.
BEAUTIFUL! 🌻Does the Spanish lavender grow as a bush if planted in a bed? Or does it stay that size? Also, do you remember what your gravel is called? lol I mean the name of the colors? THANK YOU
In the containers I think they stay pretty contained to a somewhat smaller size. They'd probably spread out a bit in a bed but I they still keep that rounded bush shape. I believe we have "Salt & Pepper River Rock". I hope that helps! The lavender is starting to bring the bees in it's wonderful!
You will still get ants but here is a trick I use. Spray the line you hang it from with cooking spray and they won't climb it. Also I don't fill mine very full because it gets rancid in the heat and it's not good for the hummers. I just keep putting in fresh when it gets low. I haven't had any hummers yet. Anxiously waiting!
I always spend the week of Mother’s Day gardening, potting, and cleaning the porch and deck. I also try to get in a color/haircut too!
Isn’t it the best! I love enjoying the sunshine without the crazy heat! This time of year is my favorite 😍
Using a powerwasher to wash the outdoor pillows is a great idea 🤩 Thank you for sharing 🙏❤️🙏
Oh gosh I am so like you too ! Gardening makes me so happy always !
This is a beautiful/cozy patio…the mixture of flowers are stunning.. Happy Birthday to you, gardening is a special gift to give to yourself…that’s what you enjoy! Blessings!!!
Thank you! Thank you! I never would have thought I would love it so much when I was younger but it really brings so much joy and serenity! You're right, it is such a gift!
The nursery and beach are my happy places!! I totally understand 😊
Yes! The beach is another favorite. I could sit on a beach all day! My kids are the same way 😄
My husband was able to touch up stain our deck and front porch.
Brought out the patio furniture and got it placed. Looking forward to warmer spring days and planting foyers. Hoping to get the vegetable garden started soon.
That sounds like fun! I can't wait to get some fruits/veggies going too!
Sweet patio, sweet family, thank you...
Happy belated birthday Valerie. Looks like you spent your birthday doing exactly what you love to do.🎉❤
Thank you! Yes! Blessed indeed! 🥰❤️
Beautiful patio ... so cozy 🧡🇸🇬
Thanks Zara!! 🙏
Love your idea for the umbrella stand,so pretty!
Happy Belated birthday! I'm with you, garden centers are my happy place! 🌺🌻🌹🌼🌸
Thank you!! 🥰 Absolutely!! I love going in the morning! Nothing better! 😍
Oh man! I am so jealous of those lavender topiaries! I want one so bad… it all looks so pretty. Motivated me to go work on my porch
The topiaries are so pretty!! 😍
@@ValerieAguiar they are... I was happy with my regular lavender until I saw the topiaries LOL
Lovely birthday gift to enjoy all season! That power washer is a miracle-worker! Pretty purple accents- I'm going to look for some Spanish lavender!
Yes! Always an amazing birthday! It's always nice to have a little pressure washer... things always seem to need cleaning somewhere!
Looks very pretty and relaxing
It totally is!! It's always great to have a "get away" in your backyard! 😉
Happy belated 🎉 birthday 🎂🥳 Valerie!! Love the refresh 🌸 🪴 and the lavender 💜
Thank you!! It was a great birthday! I'm in love with the lavender!! 😄
So beautiful and stunning!! I think going to go for it!!!- making the umbrella stand
Happy birthday 🎊🎈!
It's such a great DIY! We've had it for going on 3 years and even had it weather some pretty good storms and it's held up so well!
@@ValerieAguiar wow that’s good to know! They still look fresh and classy!! I live in Northern California- so I think we have pretty much the same weather.

Happy Birthday! Your back yard is so perfect for a bbq and relaxing, I love how you decorated the umbrella with the flowers around the base.

Happy belated birthday! Patio looks great, we are having still cold weather here and hoping next month it will be safe to get some planting done😊
I know the feeling! The rains California has had had me really missing the sunshine. Supposed to get a little more rain next week 😩
It looks amazing...thank you for share 😊

I know they like sun I’m not sure about an Arizona summer 😁 I’ve heard it can get pretty warm there!!
Happy belated birthday. Everything looks beautiful
Thank you so much!! 💕
Happy Belated Birthday! It turned out pretty.

Why is it so satisfying to watch the cleaning process? 😂
Will check out the power washer!
Watching you using the pressure cleaning equipment was soooooo satisfying 😂🤗🙏🏻

Hey Valerie 👋
HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎂
My birthday was last weekend too( the 21st.)
That must be why we are so much alike 😊
I don't have an outdoor space ,but I did find a beautiful Pottery Barn vessel at the thrift store for $10.00 & it's huge , so that was a great birthday 😂
Your space turned out beautiful ❤️
Thank you!! Happy belated birthday to you!! 🍰💕 What a great find! I would be excited for that too!😀
So beautiful and inspiring 😍
Thank you! 💕🌷
Happy Birthday Valerie
I love this, Valerie! I’m working on a major whole house decluttering project. And I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos ❤

Never heard of Spanish lavender…..is it a perennial? Beautiful
Happy birthday. The patio looks great. I would remove the tags from the pillows and the furniture.
Aw, thank you! 💕
Looks great and thank you!!! For some reason I've been feeding the hummers a 3 to 1 ratio!! 😬
I read online, some saying 3-1 and some saying 4-1. It'll be a good test, I haven't noticed any around it yet...
Happy Birthday!! Love your refresh video ❤️❤️❤️ you’re very inspirational ❤️thank you❤️
Thank you so much! 💕

Thank you so much! 💕 Wishing you all the best as well! Take care! 💜
Nice testimony! Happy Birthday!
Thanks Susan! 💕
I had problems with ants getting in my hummingbird feeders too, I found that rubbing vaseline at the hanger will stop them. 😊
Thanks for the tip Nancy!! I'm going to have to try that!
How often do you use the vaseline? Thanks!
@@karenschrantz2307 once a month when ants are present.
Love your idea for the umbrella stand ; with the Home Depot bucket . Is that pct pipe and quick Crete ?
Yes! And Home Depot sells a precut pvc pipe that fits perfectly in those buckets! It’s all on the tutorial video!
Great job Valerie. New subscriber from Cali. xoxo
So glad you’re here! 💜💜💜
You can get a hummingbird feeder moat where the ants can’t get to it. Amazon has them. Happy belated birthday 🎉
I am going to have to check these out!! Thanks for the tip! 💕
