Today I want to show you some more photos of my Home Depot Patio Style Challenge and my DIY black and white cabana which went live last week (click HERE to see). I wasn’t able to put them all into my post for Home Depot. And so today’s post won’t get too long, I will share the pretty photos with you today and HERE are the behind the scenes photos.

DIY black and white cabana

For the Home Depot post I used the leopard print pillows on my 2 chaises as you can see in the next two photos:

And for the photos that I kept for myself I used my favorite greek key pillows:

I love to always show you that you don’t need to purchase new things all the time. To me it’s important to rotate your favorite things around and you can see it all in a new light.

Cuckoo4Design Patio Style Challenge

I was totally pretending to be warm here. It was freezing!!!

To me the star of the challenge was definitely the QuikShade Commercial tent because without it I would have had a bare tree backdrop. Like I said in Home Depot’s post I have been obsessed with the look of upscale hotel cabanas, especially the black and white striped ones but it just didn’t work out that I was able to stripe it all the way. Since I ended up having to use duct tape it would have been way too expensive to use duct tape for all the stripes. It’s doable but not cheap.

I’m totally in love with the pillows I made from the “Waverly Lotus Lake Porcelain” fabric with custom black and white striped piping (see my tutorial HERE or you can buy pillows HERE)

And since my hallway’s star pendant was such a big hit (click HERE to see it), I wanted to include something similar on my patio. The difference is though that this one is much lighter. It’s a Multi Point Star Lantern (click HERE to see) and I spray painted it copper instead of gold.

I bought these shower curtains HERE and they are wonderful and the price is right too at $11.19.

This is it for today. I’m trying to keep it short since I have a lot to catch up on. Especially my Etsy shop.

I’ll post about the behind the scene mess on Monday. That kinda has a ring to it, doesn’t it?

    How wonderful that you did not have tp pay for your Mac to be repaired. Everything is so beautiful. And you really did fool me with making it look warm outside. I have a question. about the drinks in your photo’s. Is it Peach tea or just food coloring? I know that photos’ can be hard to get and I also know that dress and fashion photo’s are usually made to look good on the models (chothes pins and such), so just wondering.

    • Julia says

      April 22, 2015 at 6:35 pm

      It’s more of an orange soda mix ๐Ÿ˜‰ and thanks so so much. Yes pictures do get made to look prettier than they are, you are so right

    This is such an amazing reveal, even more perfect for knowing what you went through to get there! Everything is gorgeous and I love the mix of patterns and colour in the cushions! Clever clogs!! xxx

    • Julia says

      April 22, 2015 at 6:34 pm

      Thanks Kimberly, I will have to do another reveal when my garden is actually growing again ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I so love how this all came together! The cabana is genius and I still can’t believe that is duct tape. The pillows with the striped piping are so gorgeous. I just love it all – you did SUCH a great job!

    I am so in love with your patio! In truth I am truly in love wth everything you do. I especially love your design with pets Friday articles and your pet stories.
    Your patio is inspirational for me and have to confess that I have the chairs on my list of possiblity. I do want to know where you bought your deck chairs as I am searching for similar ones. Please share.
    Thank you

    Wow, patio set twin, I love the cabana and I can’t believe the black stripes are actually duct tape! I am so drawn to the lotus fabric you used for your pillows. You did an amazing job!

    • Julia says

      April 30, 2015 at 5:10 pm

      Hey patio set twin. Thanks so so much! And you did too

    Pop up tent, shower curtains and duct tape? Brilliant! Even if just for an event because it isn’t “weather-proof”, it’s GENIOUS! Thanks for inspiring duct taped patio tents everywhere! The whole look is amazing but that cabana gives a special intimate vibe: a real outdoor room.
