  1. The transformation is amazing. Love what you did with the rugs and how you used the river rocks to dress up the planters. All of the pops of red are perfect. I want some of those red Adirondack chairs. Where did you find them?

  2. I am beyond impressed!! I always forget that you can paint rugs, and I am totally loving your transformation! The red was the perfect color to balance that beautiful green view.

  3. Hi. I found your post through a Google Alert I have set up for “succulents”. Just want to say that I love this space you created…love the red. (AND the golf balls)…fantastic! Hope to see our umbrella next week!

  4. Love all the red! I’m amazed that you were able to all of that with just $500! Very inspiring!

  5. Now that is impressive! I’d love to take on a challenge like that. Although, I’d rather have the $500 for a room in my own house! :) Great job!

  6. You are a decorating force to be reckoned with. I love red as the accent color choice.

  7. I cannot believe you accomplished all this in under 5 hours. Way to go girl!! It looks fantastic!

    And I can’t wait to see the blog makeover! I’ve been itching for one myself. Did you DIY or do you have a source? Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us!

  8. Fantastic job!! I think outdoor spaces can often be extremely difficult, but you managed to pull it all together well – and on the cheap to boot.

  9. I think it looks wonderful. I also think Mr. CG is having a fabulous birthday, who wouldn’t be with a beautiful balcony with a beautiful view. :)

  10. How fun – I love the red and I’m not usually a “red” type of person. Beautiful.

  11. LOVE the touches of red! And those pillows too! You did a great job! It makes me want to whip our deck into shape bad!!!

  12. Girl, I am laughing at how rediculous-fast and creative you are. I can just see the tape fast-motion. Awesome job. You need your own TV show.

  13. WAY TO GO!!! That is an outstanding make-over and I can’t believe how fast you did it, Congrats!!

    I never knew you could spray paint a rug, this open up a whole new world of painting projects ;-)

  14. I wish I had that view from my office – especially with all the new trimmings!! Great job!!

  15. Hi! This may sound like a dumb question, but where did you get the river rock? I need some flat rocks for a project, and I don’t have the slightest idea where to buy it. (I looked at Home Depot and Lowes… that’s the extent of my garden supply knowledge.)

  16. Jans, you can usually buy the river rocks at a Garden Center or Landscape Soil Rock Garden Center. They are gorgeous. I have small ones but I want the larger size they are so nice and attractive from a distance. The Rug is a spring project for me, I love it.
