I was recently given the opportunity to go shopping at Kmart for decor and accessories to spruce up our backyard patio. I jumped at the chance because we actually have a completely empty patio space in front of my soon-to-be craft workshop out back, and it could definitely use some sprucing up.
Here is a photo of what it looked like before our Kmart makeover:
We really needed some seating in this area, especially since we love having friends and family over. We had a great time hosting my son’s birthday party last month and we plan on hosting a family reunion here this summer, so we definitely wanted to do something with this space. We have another small patio area as well as a back porch, but this little area here would be the perfect spot to sit and watch our kiddos play in the yard.
Before I made the trip to Kmart, I made a mental note of what types of things I wanted to look for. A couple of chairs were a must, as well as a few items to help create an attractive spot to sit and hang out. I wasn’t looking for anything specific, I just wanted to see what they had to choose from.
So, off to Kmart I went, along with my 2 little shopping helpers.
When I walked in the store (after coaxing my son away from the toy and candy machines by the front door), I grabbed a flyer and set off on my search for the Outdoor Living section. All of the departments were clearly labeled, so it was very easy to find.
There were several furniture sets to choose from, as well as individual chairs and seat cushions.

I was a little bummed that the throw pillows were so picked over, but I managed to come away with some cute ones. |
Here are all of the goods I ended up with (below). Check out my Google+ Album for more photos of my shopping trip, details about the selection and what I saw while I was there.

Believe it or not, there is a small child in there somewhere! |

Ready to see my spruced up patio? I think it turned out pretty cute. It’s a step in the right direction at least.
Thank you, #KmartOutdoor! Now we have a nice place to sit and watch our boys play. I also picked up some string lights to hang in one of the trees in our yard for when we have parties, and I bought all of the ingredients to make S’mores, which we made over the weekend! This little “spruce-up” was the perfect start to making our back yard feel more inviting. I can’t wait to host a few backyard parties with family and friends this summer.

I always forget how many of these megastores carry furniture that can be so pleasing to the eye, I don’t like going to target though. Kmart and lowes have better products, no doubt.
