Twenty {more} beautiful exterior DIY projects!

Hello my friends! I hope you're all doing well. Thank you so much for the kind comments on our backyard patio. :) 

I'm back with 20 more awesome outdoor do-it-yourself projects today. I put the call out to my blog friends and they answered with a TON of great ideas for outside. You can find the first 20 DIY outside project ideas here if you missed them!

As always, you can click on the blog name under each photo to get to more details about each project. 

I planted a veggie garden this year for the first time in forever, but eventually I'd like to make a permanent spot with a lot more planting space. I loved these raised planters surrounded by pea gravel: 

Seeking Lavender Lane

I love the sound of walking on pea gravel. Is that weird? It's so soothing to me. 

This cute A-frame plant stand would be a pretty addition to the front porch: 

 Handmade Haven 

But it would also look great out back -- it could double as a drink or food holder as well! Or even a different kind of nightstand. :) 

These outdoor drapes are made with a different material than I've seen used before, and I love the dark trim accent!: 

From House to Home

I think these DIY solar lanterns are SO cool! What a great idea:

Kippi at Home

They'd look great hanging from a fence or pergola. 

A DIY outdoor playhouse (with plans!) would be a blast for any child: 

Jennifer Maune

I mean...I wouldn't say no to it. And I'm in my 40's. 

I love this idea for decorating outdoor flower pots: 

First Day of Home

I used the same method to make my own decorative knobs years ago! The possibilities are endless.

This modern sofa build could be changed up to fit any outdoor decor with stain or paint: 

Hello Central Avenue

I love the look of raised planters made of wood, but I also like the idea of using stone: 

Inspiration for Moms

These raised gardens with stone have softer, more organic lines.

If you're looking for big planters at a good price...well, good luck. Ha! This is a great idea using buckets to create outdoor planters:

Tag and Tibby

Do you have a big empty wall on the outside of your home? This modern wood slat wall is super sharp:

In My Own Style

Saying "sharp" makes me feel like my mother. 😂

This is another one I may try -- putting permanent poles in the ground for a hammock:

H2O Bungalow

We have a metal stand that falls apart when we move it so this would work so much better!

I'm a hydrangea NUT (go here to see my tips on growing hydrangea plants) and last year I started growing them in our patio planters -- yes, you can do that!:

House of Hawthornes

Keep in mind they need more water in planters than in the ground -- and I plant mine in the ground in the fall instead of bringing them in.

This is another project on my to do list! Because we don't have any mature trees around the patio, we'll have to make these cement filled planters to hold outdoor lights:

Fox Hollow Cottage

The bonus is, if you don't fill them completely, you can still use them as planters. (As Shannon did here.)

I love this little stair step flower planter idea that would be great for herbs as well:

Home by Jenn

What a great knock off outdoor side table -- for a TON less!:

The Lived in Look

If you have a brick house you're thinking of painting, this is a great tutorial:

Noting Grace

There's something about a white porch with black accents...I love it!

I love a good upcycle! Can you tell what this plant stand was before?:

Birdz of a Feather

I really loved this idea too -- a wood bench for the front yard with house numbers:

Just Call Me Home Girl 

It also serves as a planter! How cute!

If your outdoor space is limited, go up with your garden!

Making Manzanita

Fill them with wave petunias that will spill out with tons of color. This is another great way to grow herbs.

And last, but not least, this is a helpful tutorial for adding a DIY flagstone pathway:

Mimzy and Company

SO MANY great ideas! Every time I share a round up of my fellow blogger's projects I walk away with a longer to do list.
