SAVVY Scot has turned her boring garden into an outdoor paradise with a hot tub, fire pit and comfortable lounge for just \u00a35,000.<\/p>\n

Alex Lawson, from Aberdeen, wanted a family space to enjoy with friends and spent thousands of pounds and hours turning her new backyard into her own little getaway.<\/p>\n

The DIY & interiors blogger revamped the space by adding more paving, decking area, and artificial grass.<\/p>\n

For an extra touch of luxury, a stunning lounge, hot tub, fire pit, and high table were installed.<\/p>\n

Alex spent \u00a33,500 to hire an outside company to complete the foundation work, before recycling the yard herself with a painted stencil design (\u00a360), as well as erecting the horizontal fence (\u00a3660) herself.<\/p>\n

She said, “I absolutely loved creating this sanctuary and can honestly say that any night I spent around the fire pit with friends would make me think every penny and hour of hard work was worth it.”<\/p>\n

Alex initially became interested in DIY after she purchased her first home in September 2019.<\/p>\n

The architect, who made a finalist at this year’s Christmas House in Scotland, kept costs down by buying her outdoor furniture and accessories from stores including Aldi, Home Bargains, Amazon, Asda and B&Q.<\/p>\n

Alex also registered an outdoor table and chairs on the Facebook Marketplace and made her own pergola for \u00a3260, saving \u00a3240 over what was quoted.<\/p>\n

The smart DIY fan shares home and project buying tips with her 13,000 followers on her Instagram account -casalawson.<\/p>\n

She now offers an interior design service via e-design to help others create the spaces of their dreams and transform their homes.<\/p>\n

“I am on a mission to inspire people to step out of their comfort zone, try new projects and create a beautiful home for themselves in the process,” she added.<\/p>\n
