What’s great about all of these DIYs is that Gorder thought about how anyone could transform their outdoor space. And while some DIYs may seem more challenging than others, all of these projects are something the first-time DIYer to the most experienced one can tackle.

Another bonus to all of these DIYs is that they require minimum preparation and time. No need to prime or seal any of these items, so after painting, just wait for it to dry and you’re project is complete!

And, of course, you don’t have to stick to Gorder’s paint recommendations, but just know that she has found that Valspar is a truly great product. “I’ve used almost every product in the home space, and when I find something or somebody that’s amazing…I cling,” she says.

And if you’re looking to combine more than just one of these DIYs, she recommends using more muted tones to tie the looks together. Some of her favorites are Transparent, Rocky Shelter, Snug as a Bug and Strawberry Parfait.
