Ok Ms. Heart, I want you to paint the patio set! You are super creative, and capable, and all you need is a coat of Tremclad or Rustoleum and hand brush them out! And once you've breathed new life into them, you'll just keep them for another 10 years! This is where the creatives like you shine~ when you have to use that creativity to do something frugal. I BELIEVE IN YOU! And show us the final result pretty please. 💜

Yes to the idea of paining the patio set. Pick colors out of your rug. It will customize it and preserve it.

Perhaps this is a family painting project for you and the boys. Two chairs each and you are good to go. Wire brush and rust oleum are the first steps to prevent future rusting. Now the shed has some room you may be able to store them in there in the off season. Best wishes for whatever you decide.

I am also embracing the shabby chic. So thankful you are helping normalize using what you have and not contributing to the often times over buying of the new, in style, must-have new items!

Yesssss!! It’s so important for us to use what we have instead of buying new stuff! Embrace the abundance we already have!

Reusing what you have is so much more satisfying than running out to buy new stuff. The patio furniture is in good shape and will look brand new with a fresh coat of paint.

I always get a little tearful when you say your hope and your prayer at the end of your videos meaning you want us to feel encouraged and inspired to accomplish something. I have longstanding autoimmune illnesses which make me extremely exhausted and I have chronic pain. So, my clutter and “saving things for a rainy day” have snowballed. You always brighten my day and encourage me to keep trying. Thank you. And, although the outdoor furniture would like nice painted, I applaud you for redeeming it from not being used. It’s still functional and will provide lots of room for building happy memories with family and friends. Lisa Anne Dupree 🙂🌻🦋

No longer a zombie but rather a resurrection!😊

My husband was impressed with your idea of soda cans in the planter! And he is not easily impressed! He also LOVES Pepper!

Hey Melanie! Have you ever considered planting a tree in your backyard? It would provide shade for your patio and also add interest, just a suggestion. The patio looks really good!

The patio looks lovely, especially after hubby power sprayed the concrete. The rug is really pretty and the planters too. Your children’s gift of the flower basket hanging frame for Mother’s Day was so thoughtful and looks nice all potted up with plants. I know once you’ve treated the rust, and resprayed the chairs and the table, they’ll look as good as new and you’ll get another few years out of them. Also well done for placing the stroller on the curb, as I know this would have been hard for you, but after being outside all that time I knew you could see that it wouldn’t be safe for any child to sit in.

Yessss! I put the stroller on the curb and someone already picked it up!! Thank you so much for your sweet message!!

It really is worth the effort to have an outdoor leisure area where you can gather and have meals or even just iced tea and snacks. I use my back patio all the time. Love having my morning coffee out there. You created a really cute and welcoming spot for sure.

Yessss! I should have my morning herbal tea out there in the morning!! That’s a new routine for sure!!

Yay!! Looks so good. And yay for composting, too. Aside from being great for your plants, it will save you money in the long run, and while you wait for that looong term payoff, you get lots of good vibes in the short term when you see how much waste you're diverting from the landfill. You got this!

Remember everyone - we can help support Ms. Heart even more by not skipping the ads! ❤️❤️

I love that you used what you had a made a pretty place to relax and have dinner with your family. I hope you are able to make wonderful memories with your family and maybe even some friends out there this summer. You've motivated me to straighten some things on my back porch to make it more inviting.

just paint the patio floor with special color for outdoor cement floors, it is much easier to maintain then a carpet that gets disgusting very quickly, you can also spraypaint the chairs with special color against rust or just throw some pretty scarf over them. the most important thing about a patio are the memories made with nice people, anything else is just an added bonus^^

I love those flowers. We call them Rose Moss. The patio looks great. If the furniture isn't broken, like you said, get some spray paint and freshen them up. Way cheaper than buying new furniture. Instead of buying new flowers this year, I found some flowers seeds tucked away. Some grew, some didn't.

I bought portulaca this year too! The brightest flowers in the bunch ❤

I just cleaned off and cleaned up my screened side porch yesterday! Like you, I'm frugal and not currently working outside the home. Late winter/early spring I started collecting things from Buy Nothing for all my Spring garden projects and I was using the porch to store everything. Those projects all got completed in the last 3 weeks and I couldn't wait to get the porch in order so I could sit and actually ENJOY the results of all the hard work I've been putting in. ❤

I he the same patio set. I spray painted mine and it looks brand new. Paper and tape are needed. ❤

With all that sun, you should plant tomatoes too!

I've seen people paint patio furniture and make it look new

Looks so inviting!! ❤

This is so good!!!! I love the No-Spend of it. Great to see some of Hubby, even if it was just his legs!

Great job! It looks like an inviting space. I love the focus on being resourceful versus hoarding.

Make sure to get the spray paint thats supposed to go over rust, I used one of those (brush-paint) on an old garden chair years ago and it's still looking nice.

Absolutely stunning

👍One Jersey girl to another.

I love no cost redecorating!!! Thanks for sharing!

It looks SO good! I would love to see a video dedicated to all of the DIY's you've put off/want to do. I think the patio furniture would look amazing in a fresh white coat of spray paint 🤍

Looks awesome ❤

My table and chair set is about 6 years old. I do have to get a new umbrella as that was blown up by the wind and ripped on the metal fencing. But Everything in my garden was either a hand me down or at least 6 years or more old. I like the old vintage look...Makes the color in the flowers be the Star of the Show. Using what you have is a good thing!

Looks amazing. I feel like losing your job was a bit of a blessing. Look at all you are accomplishing. This will be your summer. Invite your guests over... relax. You normally had to work so hard with lots of ot. Use this time given as a gift.❤

So beautiful! Yes invite people over to celebrate. Bar keepers friend in liquid or powder removes the rust. Also, if you want to save your rugs pressure wash them after letting the solution soak. But that rug and umbrella it’s so pretty

Beautiful!,,,,So inspiring.

Really pretty and comfy 💖

What an incredible makeover! It amazes me how much you can improve a space with a little bit of elbow grease. Enjoy your summer.

Your patio reset turned out so nice. I’ve been working on my backyard also. It just feels so nice to do things outside.

Fantastic! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

It looks so nice! Our back deck and patio are empty except for the current car parts my hubby is working on. It would look so nice with furniture and an umbrella. 😁

Perfect timing. I need to redo my little garden outside my door.😊❤ flowers🦋🌻🌿🐞

The patio looks lovely, ready for summer!

Black rustoleum and some tape would make those pieces look amazing!!!! The hardest part will be tapping the fabric and the glass table top!!

What a transformation ! Very clean and cozy, I love the tropical vibe

Sue Wolfe- What a difference! You could try some steel wool to get rid of the rust and you might not even need to paint the table and chairs! Enjoy your outdoor space! 🌴👍❤️

From zombified to beautified. Bravo! Have a wonderful summer.

Looks so great, Miss Heart!

Miss Heart ❤️ your patio looks so beautiful and your rugs look so pretty and your potted flowers look so beautiful now you can grilled your hamburgers 🍔 enjoy your outdoor living hopefully you can spray paint your chairs you are so talented with your painting

What a cute hanging basket rack! And that rug would be a great candidate for those rug cleaning asmr videos.

Patio came out amazing. I see you have a bunch of spray paint you can completely refresh your patio table and chairs with spray paint also!! You’ll get many years out of that set. I’d just tape off the glass portion of the table. You def should have family and friends over! You have such a nice big yard!

Back patio looks fantastic congratulations hello summer time💜🦄

I LOVE the reset! You can totally paint the patio set, and it could last you a very long time. It's a great set, and you are so talented. A simple rustoleum spray paint would do the trick. And you can pick any color you like. I need to do the same with mine. I, too, left my patio set out too long for several years now. I bought material to redo the bottoms, which rotted away as they were cloth. My cushions look new because I did store them. You are inspiring me to finally do it! Love all your tips. I hope you have a lot of fun this summer with family and friends using your new space!

It looks so nice and welcoming. ❤❤❤❤❤ Maybe you can set a reminder for putting away everything in september or so? That way you will enjoy it during the summer without risking to forget it outside again. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Lots of love!

looks so beautiful Mrs Heart! i know y’all will enjoy it all summer long. i think your expense for a new hose after years was well worth it especially after how good it looked after Mr Heart power washed it

That patio is a dream! Great work! And pepper wanting to help too aww

Portulaca is one of my favorite plants, I have it in a permanent bed and it comes back year after year. A tip ... empty all of your soil out of your pots into a wheelbarrow/kiddie pool, you can mix in soil amendments easily that way and lose less soil that way. The patio looks amazing.

Looks so great! I say no spend is still honored because you needed that hose!

I just took metal scrap and cardboard to the recycling. I am repainting my two metal chairs and large wooden planters this summer, Waiting for a hot dry spell .I use geraniums in my full sun areas. we have been very sick for the past two weeks First time out in weeks! What a beautiful job on your porch!

And also love the beautiful umbrella ☂️

This looks beautiful! I think you can definitely invite people over...what a dream come true that You've worked so hard to get to!

Another thing to consider if you are in or near a college town, is when students start moving around, especially at the end of a semester look for the stuff they leave behind at the curb. I live in a smaller college town on a dead end street. There's two houses across the road that students rent. This semester when they moved out there were dog kennels, patio furniture, amd a desk amd desk chair left on the curb. I snatched that patio furniture up in a hurry since I've been wanting something on my back porch to have a shady spot to watch the kids play. Someone else grabbed the desk and chair. Friends work as painters and handyman type jobs have found some good stuff students have left behind in apartments as well.

Wow great job looks awesome Hope you enjoy many many cookouts with your family and friends!! Happy summer. Love from Texas ❤❤❤

Great job…. And you used what you have….even better!!!!! Its nice using what you have 🎉🎉🎉

It looks so much prettier now. And I wouldnt mind those furnitures eighter.❤❤❤

Looks so pretty!

Love your videos so much! Thank you for sharing!❤ I've been watching for years.

Absolutely beautiful. Happy place for family.

Love how it turned out❤

It looks so good, you should just quickly hit the patio set with a can of rustoleum spray now, might get another several beautiful years out of it.

You've done an amazing job

I love your channel! You are so kind and motivating! You have helped me so much! Thank you!

A very nice before and after.

I would love to see you and the boys glam up the chairs - with spraypaint, gemmies, fake flowers and whatever your stash has to offer 😃 One with superheroes for hubbie, one with painted paw prints from Pepper to the guests you guys will have.. just costumized to eaches personality 🦄💐

What a lovely transformation. Great work. Enjoy your summer

So happy for you! The patio refresh looks lovely. Hope you enjoy many meals outside together 🥰

Incredible!

My Mom always grew portulacas (moss rose) out back which was on the south side of the house. She really liked the double ones. She would say “Would you like-a portulaca” and laugh and laugh. I always put a few portulacas in my flower pots in memory of Mom. You can scatter the seed pods along your planting beds out back and they will come the next year.

Melanie, you look great. They have become a more calm and confident person. Finally, your things began to serve you, and not you to your things. You have become a mentally free and harmonious person, the same as you were originally in childhood. You have returned to your room. Good girl. We are proud of your steps, which overcame the Everest of things to find yourself. 😘

The patio came out gorgeous! Nice job! ❤🎉

Great job Ms. heart! I always love eating with the people I love, it’s one of my favorites things ever! ❤

🎉🎉🎉🎉 YAY! It looks good! Definitely spray paint the patio set. You shouldn't have to worry about getting anything for a while if y'all do put it all up in the shed once it's cooler weather again. That tarp needs to get fired 😂

Great to do a no spend.

You are one resourceful mama…love what you did for your family. 🩷

Great job girl it looks amazing!

Honestly, couple cans of spray paint for the chairs is justified purchase, It's also protective, don't want to get scratched on a rusty end bit

The patio looks fab! I love the parasol pattern the most! Plus I have two tips! I don't know if it is available in the US but in the UK, HG Rust Remover liquid is great for jobs like restoring the patio furniture. Either that or Rust-Oleum does straight-to-rust paint if you wanted to paint over the rust instead.

Wanted to suggest similar - I have very good experience with HAMMERITE paint that you can apply (by a paintbrush) directly onto rusty metal. It would freshen up the look of the furniture for another summer or two and make it more visually enjoyable.

I know it’s most likely because your boss was able to sell his business in this booming economy for so much giving you a big serverance and the ability to take all this time off, but you’re mental health transformation is giving you the direction of beautifying your world instead of punishing yourself with the hoard.❤❤❤ I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!!

The patio looks great!😊💛🧡

Your porch looks wonderful! I spray paint my outdoor furniture every few years and they just keep on going!

I would've washed the moldy stuff in a bleach solution, ribsed then maybe also a vinegar solution and/or a baking soda rub to get rid of any leftover smell. Poor folks can't afford to buy new stuff so we sometimes clean or salvage from garbage day discards. Or go without. ... I love that rug you're using! I hope I find one just like it!

make sure you rinse thoroughly between bleach and vinegar dont want to make chlorine gas

I use plastic shopping bags for cleaning my cats’ litter boxes and small trash bins. We still have them in Michigan

I refresh the same soil every year with a bit of compost. This year is the first I make compost myself (before we just had a big balcony). But in Germany you can buy compost from the garbage place because they make it from the organic waste they get. Hope I am understood, there is a bit of vocabulary missing for „Wertstoffhof“.

Great reset! It looks inviting now!

Patio looks amazing - nice work - especially reusing what you have! 🥳👏👏👏 🦄 Enjoy the summer on your beautiful patio!

Oh my gosh I love it!! I would def come over and enjoy Thais area with you…there’s nothing better than a comfortable outdoor space♥️♥️♥️

You might want to paint the wood piece under your patio door with exterior paint or stain? Yard looks beautiful.

looking forward to videos on finishing the shed and making room to put outdoor items away in there :D

Great patio makeover
