Have you ever browsed through a Serena & Lily catalog? If you have, you’ve no doubt fallen madly in love with something, or in my case with all the things!  Especially their outdoor dreamscapes…

Are you dying yet?!

Currently, most of the Serena & Lily catalog is out of my reach, financially speaking. That doesn’t mean, however, that I need to give up the dream of stylish and affordable outdoor furniture.  Neither do you!  I’ve rounded up some of my favorite outdoor furniture, rugs and accessories, and created looks that are under $1,000  total...all in.  Versus several thousands in the S&L dream world.

If you’ve only got $300 bucks to spend, get yourself a new conversation set. Or, for about $150 you can get a beautiful new indoor/outdoor rug. In other words, you don’t need to spend a fortune to make a big impact on your outdoor space.

The first board is perfect for those of you with small patios. Just enough space for you, your bestie, and your favorite beverage. What more do you need?!

The vignette above comes to a grand total of $752.18 Please note: this total does not include cost of the cute dog, nor does it include the bar cart items. This is a BYOB situation, people!

This rug is a 5x7ish, but you could easily get it in a larger or smaller size. The only recommendation I have is: the rug should be large enough so that all furniture items fit on top. Or at the very least, the front legs of the furniture.

The total cost of this vignette (cute pup not included): $741.90 Not too shabby for some well reviewed pieces of furniture plus these great accessories!

If you’ve got a bit more space and a bigger budget consider this…

Grand total for this set up is $987.88. Yes, it’s pricey but honestly I can’t get enough of this daybed which is under $600 and gets excellent reviews! As does everything else that I included in this post. Those of you who have been here before know that I can’t stand when someone highlights a beautiful item that gets bad reviews.  I promise I’ll never leave you hanging like that.

Here are a few more affordable furniture options with A+ reviews:

The 8 piece dining set is a huge bang for your buck. As long as you’ve got the space for it. Also, that curved sectional is on sale for 500 bucks right now!

That’s all for this week friends! Do what you can to spruce up your backyard, in hopes of more social gatherings in the near future! Even if it’s just getting a new outdoor rug, or some potted plants. It will get you one step closer to home you love!
