Refresh Your Outdoor Living Space with Habitat ReStore
If you haven’t been to the Charlotte Region ReStores lately, then you’re missing out. Not only do they have extended summer hours, but the stores are full of ways to brighten and refresh your outdoor living space! Let me show you all the ways you can update your porches, decks, and patios with some thrifty ReStore help.
Take a Load Off
Have you looked at the prices of new patio furniture at home improvement stores? It’s enough to give you financial heatstroke. Which is why the Charlotte Region ReStores are a great alternative. Not only do they have gently used outdoor furniture, but they often have brand new sets for a fraction of the cost.
Grill Time
When the A/C is pumping, the last thing I want to do is crank up the oven in my kitchen. So, grilling is a great alternative during these long summer days. Thankfully, our ReStore locations often have grills for sale (sometimes still in the box!), as well as grilling accessories in the housewares section. And don’t forget to peruse the books for grilling and BBQ cookbooks, too!
Lighten and Brighten
When the sun goes down, a little mood lighting goes a long way outside. And one of my favorite outdoor accessories is lanterns. I see a lot of them at the Charlotte Region ReStores, and they’re such a stylish way to illuminate your outdoor space.
You can upcycle light fixtures from the ReStores into outdoor lanterns, too! Check out how this 1980s pendant light was transformed into charming firefly lights.
Dining Al Fresco
After you’ve grilled something delicious, it’s time to eat! And if you’re staying outside for dinner, leave your breakable dishes indoors. Plastic tableware is definitely the way to go- and the ReStores have all sorts of plastic plates, glasses, and bowls. Plastic dishes are also a fun way to add pops of color outdoors, too.
Keep it Comfortable
Spending time outdoors is great, but comfort can be challenging at times. So, check out our ReStores for ways to keep comfortable outside. Electric fans, outdoor cushions, and food covers are just some of the ways to thoroughly enjoy your outdoor spaces.
