Last Updated on August 10, 2021

Outdoor furniture can be so expensive, but these DIY outdoor furniture projects are high on style and easy on your wallet!

A few months ago I sold our outdoor furniture. I shouldn't leave out that we have been using it in our master bedroom's “sitting” area, but we moved our bedroom furniture around and I decided it had to go! It was really nice and looked awesome at our old house, but it isn't the style I want for the new desk we are planning. Since selling it, I have been perusing furniture to replace the old ones. I had forgotten how expensive it can be to fully outfit an outdoor space! Of course, no search would be complete without checking out DIY outdoor furniture.
