We have been plugging away at all of our outdoor tasks for this month’s Household Organization Diet. We are trying to get through all of the regular maintenance stuff first, but are hoping to still have time to do a couple of fun outdoor projects as well. I have been scouring the internet high and low to find some easy backyard DIY project inspiration and thought that I would share some of my favorites with you.
I think it’s going to be hard to decide where to begin – I just love all of these ideas! Hopefully you can find some inspiration too with these amazing backyard DIY projects!
Built in outdoor grill space from Eric Olsen Design.
Outdoor Window Shelf Lattice from Ana White.
Simple DIY Bench from Lina Pa Landet.
Gorgeous tire planter from Addicted 2 DIY.
DIY Spoon Planter Hangers from Hutch Studio.
Potting Bench Turned Outside Bar from The Creativity Exchange.
Frosted Mason Jar Picnic Caddy from Clean and Scentsible.
Beautiful Outdoor Lighting from Ruffled.
Backyard Movie Theater from Momtastic {This has been on my summer bucket list for a couple of years now so I really hope we can get something going this year!}
Outdoor Buffet Cabinet from The Apron Blog
BBQ Trolley from Deco Manitas.
Potting Station from The Wicker House via Ella Claire.
Backyard Retreat via Flicker {Poppytalk}
Metal Bucket Outdoor Coffee Table from A Place to Nest via Remodelaholic.
Patio Daybed from The Apprentice Extrovert.
DIY Curved Fireplace Bench from A Beautiful Mess.
I love all of these ideas but our number one project that we want to do this year is build a backyard firepit.
We are still trying to figure out the design, but there are a ton of DIY firepit kits that you purchase if you want it done for you. This simple DIY firepit tutorial over at Sew Woodsy is one of the best tutorials that I have found {and they even have a video to go with it!}
Our plan is to get our projects done by the end of June so we can just sit back and enjoy for the rest of the summer! We will see how that goes and hopefully the weather will cooperate! 🙂
Do you have any outdoor plans this year? I’d love to hear what you are up to!

What a great mix of ideas. I love that outdoor grill space with grey background and the bench with the stone is perfect. I’m ready to move and start from scratch again. Thanks for sharing all these neat ideas in one place.

That grill setup is awesome! I love that there is so much counter space. Do you know what kind of grill that is? It looks like it might even be a smoker too.
Carol says
Love everything!!!!!

Everything looks great! In your “Metal Bucket Outdoor Coffee Table” section, where did you get those turquiose solar lanterns? I assume that’s what they are 😉 I want them!
