Melaine from My Sweet Savannah created the most inviting outdoor entertaining space, and it’s full of smart, budget-conscious ideas.
She started with an existing structure and worked with what she had—talk about stretching your dollar!
By reusing furniture she already owned, like the sectional and coffee table, she gave the whole space a refresh without overspending.
She added string lights and lanterns for ambiance, proving that lighting alone can totally change the vibe.
Melaine also brought in throw pillows and cozy textures to make the space feel like an extension of her home.
Instead of a costly renovation, she kept the structure as-is and styled around it—such a great reminder that you don’t have to knock down walls to create something beautiful.
She even kept her firewood stacked nearby as both functional and decorative—love a two-in-one feature!
If you’re thinking about sprucing up your backyard, this is a great example of what’s possible with thoughtful styling and what you already own.
