Transform patio into a cozy place
Each year I put a ton of flowers on my patio. However, it still needs help. I want to win so I can make my patio a cozy seating area and a nice peaceful spot to sit and read, and to entertain friends.
My picnic table has outlived its usefulness. I have a beautiful view sitting on my patio, so a patio makeover would finish up the yard.

A few simple additions can make this patio a cozy gathering spot once again.
Budget: $2,500
Suggestions
• Entertain comfortably with this seating arrangement.
• The large coffee table in center of seating area can double as dining table for informal dining as reader will lose current large picnic table.
• Small bistro table aligned next to grass area and fence can serve for dining for one or two.
• String lights along fence for ambience and sparkle.
