Gussying up the deck was a big focus of our first week of summer. I was really excited about getting a big rug outside and had such a hard time finding one I loved. Instead of buying one I didn’t love – I bought a huge piece of AstroTurf from Costco and stencil painted cactus on it.
The project was really simple and I just love how it looks! I’m sharing the details of how we did it and the template to create your own cactus inspired rug – right here.
Here are a few other amazing ideas to fix up your porch/deck/slab of concrete for summer.
Planted succulents – great for stairs.
Love this DIY outdoor table – you could make it in under an hour!
Miniature fabric covered lights for stringing.
And in case you missed it, our 3D paper stars for hanging outdoors.
Whatever outdoors you are enjoying this weekend, I hope it is great. We are off to the lake today! Living near Lake Tahoe has its advantages. Happy weekend!
Is it wrong that I secretly love AstroTurf? I’m so excited to see a project that uses it!
What a great diy project. I love this outdoor rug. Thanks for the inspiration!
How fun are these pictures-love the idea!!!
