Outdoor DIY Projects to Improve Your Home in a Snap

(NC)-While the grip may be tight on your wallet, there are ways to unleash your creative juices and make improvements to your home in a snap. Revitalize and refresh the look of your outdoor living space with these fast, easy and inexpensive projects.

Patio Panache

Whether your patio set is plastic, wicker or metal, there are easy ways to give your furniture a facelift. Give it a new personality with Rust-Oleum multi-coloured textured spray, which mimics the pebble-look of high-end patio furniture. Or, if your set is plastic, make it fantastic with a dose of vibrant colour using Universal spray in sunset orange.

Concrete Idea

Take your dull-looking patio, stairs or walkways and give them a weekend makeover with a splash of colour or texture. Simply spray on Concrete Stain. It's the saviour for outdoor stone or concrete, comes in a variety of colours and can be custom-tinted. Get creative and blend two colours to create your own distinctive design.

Rock On

If you like the look and feel of pebbles under your feet, think about applying a decorative Stoneffects finish to your concrete walkway, stairs or patio. It's so easy to use - all you need to do is paint the texture on with a roller - no priming required. You can also create patterns in the stone by using painter's tape before you apply the coating or select a specialty roller to create a unique finish.

Revitalize and Accessorize

If you want to revitalize your outdoor accessories, choose one or two complimentary colours and paint them. Use a no-fuss spray paint like Universal which adheres to virtually every outdoor surface and give your pots, planters and lanterns a new lease on life.

Turn Up the Heat

Before you get ready to enjoy burgers and a cold drink, there is one last backyard essential which may need a little t-l-c. If your barbeque has rust spots or chipped paint refinish it using a high heat spray paint in basic black or try stylish new colours like copper or brown.
