EEEPPP, OUR 2023 PATIO MAKEOVER! We are so in love with this new space! It feels so clean and completely refreshed! I still cant believe how the new tables and accents changed the entire look of our patio furniture and I cant wait to hear all your thoughts down below! 💕 If you followed the saga, this video was the biggest labor of love and truly tested my patience (and my wallet because I had to buy a new computer) but in the end it was SO worth it! I hope you enjoy, thank you so much for watching! ily all so so so much!!!

I use Osmacote in my plants it’s a slow release fertilizer. It works well. Also in realt big pots I cut up pool noodles and put them in the bottom of the pots. They take up space so you don’t need as much soil and are good for drainage.

Katie and Brian the patio make over is stunning!! You guys did a great job!! I am sure your landlord is also please with how well you guys take care of this house. I know you said you might only be there a year or two more. You have add a lot of value to this house. Love all the live plants too! Katie at Lowe’s or Home Depot with have a gauge that will tell you when your plants need water. That way you don’t over water them. You just stick it in each pot or close to each plant and it will tell you if the plant is wet or dry. I have found it very helpful so I don’t overwater!! Love all your pretty green accents also!! Again great job guys. ❤

I love how it turned out Katie! For the monstera, and other plants that have roots that took shape of their previous pot, you should loosen their roots (you can just do this with your hand!) before repotting so they can grow into their new, bigger pot! This is completely normal, and is a sign that they are ready to grow in a bigger pot! Thank you for always making such great content! I love your videos ❤️

I love that you are trying out live plants. I myself am a plant enthusiast and love having green in my space. You have some really great beginners plants. Best advice I can provide is using your finger to measure the moisture in the plants soil. When your plants are starting to become dry, you will want to water them. Once a month I like to add a bit of liquid fertilizer to keep them happy and blooming! The roots on your monstera deliciosa are called aerial roots. Those are perfectly fine and allow the plant to breathe. Remember to allow yourself grace when learning to care for your new plant friends. I know I’ve killed a few in learning to keep mine alive! So excited for you! Also the patio looks amazing!!! You’ve inspired me to keep working at ours. ❤

I'm with you on the power washing!! That's one chore I claim as mine....YES, super satisfying.

Oh, Katie, what a super job, for you and Bryan. Beautiful team work, and great decor. Excellent, and comfortable space. Thanks for sharing. 🙏😘👍❤️🌟🌷👏☘️🌺✝️

The stems on your monstera are called aerial roots - they help the plant gather more nutrients and moisture as well as anchoring the plant- you can cut them or leave them be. It's perfectly normal you have a very happy and healthy plant.

Looks fabulous Katie I to tend to overwater real plants so I am not ashamed to use faux plants outside😍😁

When watering***water the leaves as well**plants love it!

I LOVE POWER WASHING TOO! Hi Katie, Brian and Brynn! GREAT video and TFS xoxo. In Florida, as you know, most people have tvs outside!! I love your dogs. I hate the concrete in these houses lol. I won't tell you about the curtain rod I yanked out of the wall, along with alllllll of the metal stuff above the window. OOOOPS! Ok, one more thing, ALL of my plants are fake lmao. Gardening is not my jam lmao. They look great though.

Looks great Katie!! My tips on herbs is they are pretty much like weeds….. they are pretty easy to grow!! They don’t need a lot of water, but they do like sun. The mint will take over everything especially if you plant it in the ground. It is impossible to get rid of, comes up all into your grass. So a separate pot is a good idea. You, Brian and your precious baby and pups will enjoy your porch this summer!! ☀️☀️☀️

It all looks great! I happen to think the faux wall hanging plants really sets it up. I love the fan and the tables. They look like well, they were meant to be together. You two rocked it 👍♥️

Great patio transformation! It looks like a cozy place to hang out and enjoy the beautiful weather! I had an herb garden several years ago! I had so much extra, I froze it to enjoy later!

Hi Katie great makeover! All the plants are a wonderful addition to your outdoor space. The only advise I can add is plants need good drainage. Pots should have a hole in the bottom for water to drain out. You run the risk of a plant drowning if the water can not drain out. Only use pots without holes as decorative plant holders. Enjoy your patio.

Katie you and Brian did an awesome job on the patio refresh- love it! Your pups looked like they were overseeing everything you did- so cute! TYFS and have a great day!

Great job Katie and Bryan, it was worth the wait. You work so hard for your viewers 🌼🌷☀️

This is the best outdoor video ever

I would recommend always plant in pots with drainage! Makes it way easier to water & not over water!!☺️ Everything looks fabulous ❤️

Both of you did a great job on refreshing and cleaning your patio. It is so relaxing to run the pressure washer and I can be the one who runs with it and does not give a turn to my husband. So glad you could keep the couch and chairs. I think they are beautiful and hopefully last a very long time. The new tables and television are a great addition! I am a gardener and have been ever since I can remember. I enjoy the plants you have on your patio to enjoy. The one thing I would like for you to consider is to add a drainage hole to each container. I noticed that some pots did not have one. If the water does not drain, you will rot the root and your lovely plant will die. You have fantastic lighting for each one of them. So happy you shared your video with us. *Debbie*

Everything looks amazing!! Pressure washing is a must down here at least once a year the mold and dirt from the humidity creates the perfect environment for that!! Looks so good after the cleaning!! All the new pillows and tables are so nice!! I like the faux hanging plants! The ceiling fan also a huge win!! Hope all of your plants do well especially the sweet pink one! I love plants too…try to get the planters with the drain holes and if not use rocks at the bottom so it creates a drainage when watering so you don’t get root rot. I don’t have a perfect green thumb but there are a lot of YT creators who are and I like watching the actual visual of how to take care of the plants by people who do it for a living 😊I also use miracle grow liquid to feed the plants every other month! Your plants will be so beautiful the ones have had look great!! The herb garden and markers are so pretty! Rosemary chicken Basil on anything Italian my favorite is tomato mozzarella and basil with balsamic vinaigrette yummy! So happy for this video I know you worked so hard and it’s amazing!! Hope you can now enjoy a great movie night out on the patio!!

Amazing patio refresh you and Brian make a great team🥰❤️

Your patio turned out gorgeous!! For the herbs, if you have excess, chop them up and put about a Tablespoon of each into an ice cube tray, add enough water to cover, then freeze. Once frozen, pop them in a Ziploc bag and store in the freezer. That way you've got pre-measured "fresh" herbs to put in sauces, soups, etc. Or, you could hang them upside down to dry out then crush & put in jars. I'm excited to see how they do, it's so much fun growing & using your own stuff 😊😊

GORGEOUS!!! Love the plants and the black accents !!! LOVE THE PILLOWS!!! YOU ARE A PRO!!!!!

I got the yellow target mug with daisies all over it in celebration 🎊 and I’ll use it when watching future videos of yours and again I am super impressed by how great it looks!

Hi guys! I love the pops of green, such a great color. The TV is nice & the plant stand is lovely. I'm not gonna lie...the faux hanging plants look great! Awesome job you two! I ♡ Brynn's sweet plant with delicate pink flowers, so precious 💕🪴 Oh! I forgot to add the fan! Love the look & idea. Especially in Florida on those hot days 🌞

Totally worth the wait. What a cozy place to spend your nice Florida days and evenings together. I love the idea of the fan and tv. Everything looks so fresh and new! Enjoy!!

Oh my gosh, I love everything! The green accents are striking! I cannot keep plants alive, but I love all of my faux ones,lol!

Once again a room makeover Katie sucess!!!❤❤❤ great hang out space ! Good luck on friends wanting to leave! Lol

I absolutely love your decorating , especially Brynn s room!!! So beautiful ,all of your decorations go so well together. Again Katie, love your style . Looks eastery ( if thats a word) without over doing it!! Thanks for showing us. BEAUTIFUL 😊🐰🐣⚘️🪻

So cute to see you and your husband working together ❤️ he is so funny 😁

I put mint in my flower bed 15 yrs ago not knowing how invasive it is. I still have to pull so much of it out every yr. Definitely in a pot. I use the mint I pull in a tomato and cucumber salad with some basil and mozzerella. Delicious!

This is my favorite patio refresh ever!!!

LOVE IT! ❤great job Katie .... and I think it was great incorporating the faux plants too, they look adorable in those hanging baskets .... enjoy your new space 😎🥰

The Brynnie plant is such a sweet idea. 😊

New viewer here. Love your video! I'm trying to get motivated for my patio makeover or revamp. Love the faux plants on the wall. They really look good. Plant advice is to make sure there is good drainage in pots and soil and not to over water. The space looks great! Girl, it is not lame to put outside. ❤ it.

Lol Brian is cool, u 2 do a GREAT job together! GREAT JOB! Looks fabulous! Thank u for sharing! Great video! 😊❤️🎁💕⭐️

Katie, it looks great- really like the transformation! You are right about the mint, but the plant that you said had the veins are actually the roots. What you should of done to better the plants health is loosen up the roots so they don’t continue to rap around the pot. Good Luck!

I love this makeover ! I like how you show what you can do to refresh what you have already . Love the herb garden . I had one but like how you did yours better ! Also like the placement of furniture . It is a cozy conversation space now . Beautiful !

Hi Katie! The patio refresh turned out great! Love that you added in real plants and I think what you need is a small water feature as well. That would really make the space feel very zen. Especially when doing yoga. 😉

Soooo nice! Great space for your family and guests. Such a rewarding project and video. I loved the beginning of the video, where Brian was hogging the power washer! LOL!!!

You guys did such a great job everything turned out so good. A comfy cozy place for you guys to relax at night with a glass of wine. Enjoy!

Katie, WOW! That room looks absolutely amazing! What a transformation! You two have done such a great job! It's so warm and inviting! I love all the plants! You didn't need new furniture! Just cleaning it made it look brand new! Everything looks perfect! It all looks so cohesive! 👍❤️🤗

It turned out great! Love it! My patio furniture is on our large deck with a roof, and I discovered last year there we’re zippers on all the cushions, so I can take them off and put them in the washer!

Love this space Katie! The previous owner of our last house planted mint against the side of the house & we could NEVER get rid of it! I will only plant it in a pot. We live in Texas and have a regular TV on our back porch & it is not screened in. (It is covered) We bought a cover also for it & that works for us. Enjoy your new space!

Katie!!! This looks awesome!! I love all the plants out there!!! Even the faux plants on the wall! The fan is an awesome touch too!!! You guys will definitely enjoy that space so much!!! We are touching up our back porch right now with new pillows, a new rug, and potted plants as well! Love this time of year! Great video!! Thx for sharing!

I just found your channel and love it. I love power washing as well and you’re right, it is very satisfying. Everything turned out nicely. Just a little tip about planting….when you plant in something that doesn’t have drainage holes (your herb garden). Line the bottom with rocks so that the water can drain away from the soil and the roots. Loved the completed porch.

Your patio looks good! Who cares what others think about you having a TV in your outdoor space. It's not my jam, but it's not my house either. If it works for you family, that's what matters. I like that you painted your cord hider to match your exterior wall color. Plants are easier than you'll think. My mom has a great green thumb and I learned a lot from her. Two general rule of thumb, terracotta or some other form of pottery pots are better for plants than plastic. Plastic pots can encourage root rot because it's not a breathable material. Secondly, if you're unsure when to water your plants, just finger check them once a week and if the soil feels dry, water that plant. I have a combination of indoor and outdoor, direct and indirect light plants on my porch and inside my house. I have a small herb garden on my porch, along with a potted lemon tree I started growing from seed 3 years ago, some scallions and mixed leaf lettuce, all of which are thriving. Some of my edible porch garden was started from seed, others were started from a small baby plant. Indoors I have a pothos vine, monstera, and a couple other tropical plants (in not far from you in Southeast Louisiana, and tropical plants love it down here as you know), and I also have some faux plants. I have a combination of real and faux because I have two cats, one of which likes to occasionally "taste test" new plants I bring home. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ so I have to keep him guessing. 😂 but also, some plants aren't let friendly, so the plants I like that are toxic to pets I purchase in faux form, except for my monstera such is a real plant. That one is mildly harmful, just causes a little stinging like eating supper sour lemons. The cats avoid that plant, so it's fine for me. No shame in combing real and faux plants, do your thing Katie!

Love the hanging faux plants, so cute.

Love it! Your cushions came out like new..the art of the power washer! The pops of black give it the Katie vibe! I wish I had a green thumb. The few flowers I tried out on our deck last year didn’t make it. I love an outdoor tv as well. The cord cover is way better than leaving it exposed. Good job

Great job as usual. So welcoming! And of course you never disappoint Katie!!

Great job guys!! It turned out Beautifully!!!🥰

I love it! I also love the conversation about learning to care for your plants!❤️ biggest tip is to make sure that you have drainage holes in everything you plant into. Your monstera is healthy, and the Ariel roots are part of a normal, healthy plant! You can chop them, or feed them into the soil. Monstera are beastly, tough plants! ❤️🪴

Glad you finally were able to get it posted with all the trouble you had with this video going up. I know you must be exhausted at this point working on it . Glad your new computer is working out for you. Can’t wait to watch it.

Great video Katie! I agree about power washing- so satisfying! Your space is fantastic ❤️

Worth the wait. Love the patio, particularly the herb planter.

It looks outstanding and so fresh! I love all the greenery!! 🌱🌿🍃

Wow!! What a beautiful transformation! You are going to enjoy that space so much!! Great job, guys! I love it all! ❤

I love it!! It came out great. Our snow has finally all melted and I’m itching to get out my patio furniture.

So satisfying to watch, I enjoyed every minute!

Yes mint spreads. Your patio looks beautiful. Great job 👍

Love the new look Katie 👍. You & Brian did an excellent job and details. Love the TV out there along with plants & herbs. I’m sure you will enjoy spending relaxing time out their with your added bonuses. BTW love the faux hanging baskets with plants. I have one in my bathroom as well and think it looks awesome. Kudos to you both for execution👍. Very nicely done. PS love the satisfaction after power washing, it’s a game changer👏👏👏. Wishing you, Brian & Bryann many memories enjoying your improved bonus area.

Aww Katie it is outside. You guys work very hard at what you do and everything looks fab!

Great makeover and very welcoming! Love that you're adding live plants. I couldn't tell if your new pots had drainage holes in them. I usually drill hole in pots so that water can drain so I don't need to worry about the plants getting root rot. Just be careful not to overwater if there are not drainage holes in the pots. 🙂

I love everything! I also live in Florida and an outside fan is a must! What a beautiful transformation!

I’m late to it because my infant has had a ROUGH day. But I have never been so excited!!! 😂❤

A power wash hog 😂. It’s sooo satisfying!!! Everything looks so pretty. I love the ceiling fan and pops of green. Your pups are adorable ❤

Katie, you have a Celciest (sp) plant the red one. If it grows well, it will come back next year as hosta and my favorite hydrangeas. This was well worth the wait. Tell Brian I have 2 Parsons chairs smd a cabinet for him to put together for me - the King of putting things together. I love the patio and plants. I think hanging Spider plants would look great too. You are using the correct soil miracle grow and I only water my plants once a week. Good luck with your herbs. To save money on miracle grow, I use dollar tree pull noodles in the bottom of the pots. Love your videos, Donna xoxo

You for sure did a superb job in this patio area...definitely gave the space a new life!!! Lovely!

You and Brian did a great job on your patio.

Beautiful video, my favorite part of the video is the herb garden 🌿 and all the live plants 🌵🍃☘️🍀🌱🌺 plus I was amazed at how great that power wash did such an amazing job. 👍 We will be purchasing one of those real soon, now that it's warming up in our area. 😊 Brian is a keeper for sure, what a great job he does on everything. I also really liked the ceiling fan too. You two work so well as a team together, GREAT JOB!!! ♥️♥️♥️

I like your Dly video’s you learn and get to see so much!!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

It's so stinkin pretty!!! Love all the green pops!!

Everyone is right…mint will take over a space, so good call! My plant hint is to be careful of overwatering. I did it a lot in the beginning. The best trick is to just stick your finger in the soil to feel if the plants need water. Also, the more you harvest your plants, the more they will grow. Don’t be afraid to use them. I was definitely nervous in the beginning. 🥰👍

So cute. Clean and comfy l. LOVE the TV and fan!!!!!! Nice!!!!

Hi Katie, your patio looks great! Love the addition of the TV! You know, on that small bit of black cord still showing, you can easily paint it your wall color to camouflage it as well, and even paint the outlet box! I have your same couch and chairs and love it. On my deck, I place my area rug on a diagonal which gives a little flare to the look. You may like it too😉. I am loving all your different plants. We love to take thick, bone in pork chops, and brine them, using rosemary stems, soooo good and very easy. Just google Webber rosemary brined pork chops. This recipe is a keeper and it impresses your guests, too.😘. Love ya girl!

I knew that little container was going to hold remotes when you said the fan had a remote. Hahaha, love how it turned out guys!! That's a nice little space!

Great video! The patio looks super cute. Never power was with sandals on, you can lose a toe or two. Also, when repotting always pull apart the dirt a bit and loosen the roots so they can spread out in the new pot.

Katie, take it from me...the herb plants should be in large individual pots.....they will take off like a rocket....You'll see what happens in just a few short weeks. Very pretty and enjoy with friends.

Love your patio transformation! So cozy and inviting!! Also enjoy watching you and Brian work together-you are such a lovely couple and sweet parents to that adorable little girl!! ❤

Woo whoo I was right with my second guess....for the remotes!! Looks awesome!

Everything looks beautiful. Great transformation.

Turned out so nice! I'm sure your will enjoy being out there, i know that I would!! 🌱🍹😊

Amazing! 👏

Refresh came out beautiful

It looks so comfy and cozy! Love it!

Came out, gorgeous!!! Absolutely love it!!

Hi Katie, I love your patio makeover. It looks beautiful. ❤ Thank you for sharing and giving me inspiration. Enjoy it.😊

It looks really beautiful. You really added some beautiful touches

Very, very nice indeed. I would just put some mulch around the plants. Any type would complete the lovely picture!

I really like you outside patio. Sorry, I have no idea how to do an herb garden but, I like planting flowers.

I like how your chairs sway and those tables accent it perfect!!!!~ Looks great! Can't wait to see what you do for all the holidays 😇👍

Your patio looks great 🎉👏🏻👏🏻🤗love the green 🪴🌱🪴

Your patio transformation looks so pretty y’all! Thanks for the inspiration to clean and make our outdoor spaces beautiful! 😊❤😊🌸

Looks beautiful! You and Brian did a great job!

I'm loving the new furniture placement & the tables were definitely the right choice!. U know after my wrong guess yesterday (mainly bcuz I couldn't judge the defuse of the planter) I did think about a remote control holder, just 4got 2 say it lol. Love all the plants & u picked the perfect spot 4 the faux plants onv the wall! Ur supervisors coming 2 check on ur work were adorable! Hoping Aurora is doing better each day ❤❤

Loved this transformation. It was very satisfying.

Great makeover! The faux plants look great on that wall 👍 Adding to the plant tips: to prevent root disease add gravel or rock to the bottom of all plants (appox one finger digit deep for sm plants 😉) mulch in some osmacote (that makes fertilizer a no brainer 😁) The one digit finger test for watering 😉 The Monsteria looks nutrient deficient so a healthy dose of fertilizer until the leaves are a deep green color. 😉Brynn’s plant is in the succulent family so it will do well in a soil mix with a cactus blend (60/40 blend 😉) I hope this helpful, gorgeous 😊 I love all of your videos ❤ PS For your herbs natural fertilizers since your eating them.😘

It came out so cute

This looks amazing! Thank you for all the inspiration we just built our patio table yesterday. Our old house was cinderblock such a pain to hang anything. Congratulations on the new laptop! Hope all the stress of this last week can stay there and you have a fantastic week ahead ❤
