Garden Ideas on a Budget.

This one is a must-have on a beautiful summer's day in Ireland!

Want space for entertaining in your garden? If a garden bar is out of your budget, transform your area with a DIY cocktail bar.

'There's no need to invest in a pricey readymade bar when you can update a cheap and cheerful potting bench by day into a chic drinks station by night with a simple, purse-friendly lick of paint,' says Wayfair's Resident Style Advisor, Nadia McCowan Hill.

'A good quality primer & undercoat will remove the need for laborious sanding, so all you need to think about is selecting your go-to hue. Miami pink will add a retro flavour to your bar, whereas cornflower blue is the perfect tone for an Irish garden spritz, and pistachio tones will blend seamlessly with spring foliage.

Don’t forget to seal your bar with a waterproof finishing wax to keep the sundowner sessions flowing summer after summer.'
