    English Garden Inspired Patio Makeover with Kmart The first thing on the list was a gazebo or pergola or something

    for this area-It gets full sun~ and in the Summer- that means full,

    blazing hot sun sometimes. So it has been hard to find a shady spot

    to relax in this area of the yard up until now. Kmart had a bunch of

    great options for a gazebo.

    This gazebo was a perfect fit. The panels are moveable and can be

    placed at each side~ which makes it easy to adjust and change the

    look. It was fairly easy to put up and it fit the center of this larger

    patio well. It also has a bar area which is perfect for setting food on

    next to the grill or for serving.Inside the gazebo is a set of charming

    English Cottage Garden inspired furniture. I loved how it was

    inspired by vintage design and looks much like something you would

    find at a high end store but with a reasonable Kmart price.

    My Great Grill and Patio MAKEOVER! Picking out our new furniture and grill could not have been easier...

    Kmart has this amazing system where you can purchase your items

    online and pick them up at the store in just a few hours!

    So, Thursday night (thats right...just a day and a half before our

    guests arrived) I sat down at my computer and did my shopping.

    I looked through the online catalog to get an idea of what was

    available (just click the image above to see the catalog for

    yourself)...and then I picked out my favorites on Kmarts website.

    Their Patio Finder makes it so easy to choose your furniture and

    accessories...

    And, with Kmarts Grill Finder, you just click on your personal grill

    criteria, and the site shows you whats available! Cool, huh?

    My Kmart Outdoor Backyard Patio/Pool Spruce UpWe try to keep up with our backyard, but with the windy weather weve

    had lately, its a frustrating task. All that dust has worn out our pool

    accessories and patio decor, so we need some new pool toys, accent

    pieces, and some new color to liven things up. Weve got several big

    parties coming up in our backyard in the new few weeks, including a

    dinner for fifty 8th graders, so our pool and patio area needs some major

    sprucing up...pronto! I decided to get some help from Kmart Outdoor!

    One of the biggest problems with our pool area is lighting. Believe it or

    not, it is already too hot to use the pool in the middle of the day, so we

    often entertain in the evening when it is cooler. The ground lighting that

    came with our house is not very bright, so as it gets dark outside and our

    backyard gets really dark. We need more and unique lighting, something

    that will give our backyard an elegant resort look.

    One of the things I like best about Kmart is that I can shop from home, on

    my computer (even at 11pm at night), purchase items if Id like, and then

    pick them up at the store.

    Patio Makeover with Kmart!So, for an early Mothers Day present, I headed to Kmart to find some

    new ways to spruce up our space. Read on to see more pics and how

    I did it!

    First off, I needed to decide what I wanted to buy. This was the hard

    part- but Kmarts website makes it really easy. I was actually knocked

    out with a really bad infection all week, so I knew I needed to do a

    majority of my shopping online,

    since a fever doesnt make for

    inspired shopping trips.

    No problem-I found everything

    quickly and easily. I picked out

    items that were in stock in our

    local Kmart, and was really

    happy to learn I could not only

    put them on layaway for a very reasonable down amount- (I wanted

    to lock in the BEST prices from the current sale while I slept on my

    purchases for a few nights), but I could also use Paypal to checkout,

    as well! I love being able to use my paypal account, since that is how

    I am paid through my Etsy shop and blog. No money transfers makes

    this mommy happy!

    Kmart has some awesome summer gear

  • Chelsea Day-somedayilllearn.com

    Summer GrillingWow, how is it already May? We have some major

    summer grilling holidays coming up! Mothers Day is

    this weekend and then Memorial Day on the 28th (the

    unofficial start of the summer grilling holidays), then of

    course all the grad parties, Fathers Day, Fourth of July,

    Labor Daywe also have a couple family birthdays and

    other random excuses to party throughout the summer

    months.

    We decided to pick up a new grill and some summer

    grilling gear at Kmart to get ready for all these party

    shenanigans. They have some awesome summer gear

    over there, including really, really good prices on grills and

    patio sets. In last Sundays weekly deals circular, I found

    deals for 20% off all patio cushions and umbrellas, 20% off

    all folding lawn furniture, a metal arbor with gate on sale

    for $79.99 (reg $149.99) and 50% off a hanging basket

    plant stand and deluxe basket plant stand! Im also a Shop

    Your Way Rewards member, which means I get 10 points

    for every $1 I spend, and those add up quickly for real

    savings that I can apply to my orders.click for more from this

    Gearing Up for Summer GrillingMr. Mom Endeav ors has been want ing a new grill for

    a while and we were able to get this awe some Red

    Ken more 4 Burner Gas Grill at Kmart for a great price!

    Plus, we snagged some other grilling & out door decor

    acces sories per fect for all the sum mer fes tiv i ties.

    There are some great options (at great prices) in the

    #KmartOut door cat a log.

    Between the good selec tion, great prices, Shop Your

    Way Rewards (in which we earn points for every $1

    we spend), and lay away, it made shop ping for our out-

    door items at Kmart really appeal ing (you can see our

    whole shop ping trip here on Google+). Since I was

    wait ing for a big pay pal pay ment to come through, we

    did our shop ping and just decided to put every thing

    on lay away. The process was really sim ple! After pay-

    ing it off a cou ple of days later, we went in to the store

    and they had every thing ready & wait ing for us! The

    hard est part was just fig ur ing out how to get it all to

    fit in the van (espe cially since the grills were already

    assem bled).

    After reviewing Kmarts digital outdoor catalog, I knew exactly what I wanted

  • Jennifer Burg-thesuburbanmom.com

    Ill Be Lounging by the Pool This Summer Before the lazy days of summer begin, there is one thing I

    need to make my lazy days more perfect a lounge chair.

    I dont know why we dont have one since it is such a simple

    item, but I have wanted one for the longest time. Well I bet

    you can guess where this is going Thats right, momma

    got herself a lounge chair. And I got one for dad too.

    After reviewing Kmarts digital outdoor catalog, I knew

    exactly what I wanted a pair of Jaclyn Smith Today

    folding lounge chairs. Not only do they look nice, but they

    look like they will go very well with the furniture we already

    have on our porch. Since the Kmart by our house is closing

    next month, and is in liquidation phase, we piled the family

    in the car to drive to the Kmart across town that will now be

    our Kmart.

    Sizzling Grill OutEnjoying a special family gathering while trying to play

    hostess at the same time is complicated, but not impossible

    if you plan ahead. I must admit, time is not on my side these

    days and with our move to Seattle quickly approaching,

    I had causal party in mind when I ventured on line and

    shopped for my new items at Kmart.

    One cannot have a patio make over for Memorial Day and

    not indulge in a red grill. While I wanted the food to carry

    the bulk of the color theme, I did want the table accents

    to complete the decor. Chilled white wine, a berry and

    meringue layer cake, sparkling pomegranate punch, extra

    large red jelly beans, white candles, a denim blue table

    runner with matching napkins and a red table mat gave me

    the Memorial Day color theme I was looking for.

    A Deck Update With Kmart Outdoor My drab and dingy deck now has a new lease on life thanks to an

    update featuring Kmarts Outdoor Living Collection.

    I find so much inspiration for the home from catalogs. The Kmart

    Spring-Summer 2012 Outdoor Living catalog was no exception. I

    immediately knew I wanted to add some pops of color to my deck.

    I found even more inspiration while I was shopping. I was able to

    pick out an overflowing cart of outdoor goodies and save the current

    sale prices with Kmart Layaway. This is on top of my Shop Your Way

    Rewards bonuses.

    New side tables with planters and annuals all purchased at Kmart

    provided a jolt of color and a practical place to hold food and drinks

    during a party. New outdoor throw pillows provide comfort and color.

    At first I was planning to only purchase the orange, but Im so happy I

    picked up the zebra pillows too.

    Grilling in the RainIve had my eye on a new grill. Weve been grilling on a tiny grill thats

    great for a small family but too small for the big family get together I

    plan on hosting on Memorial Day.

    I decided to take advantage of the great prices in the

    Kmart Outdoor Catalog and put a new grill on Layaway

    until payday, just in time for the weekend. All the Kmart

    Grills, Accessories and Outdoor Decor is on sale.

    I checked out the grills online at Kmart.com before

    I headed out on my shopping trip. While browsing

    through the grills and accessories online, I came across

    the Shop Your Way Rewards program Kmart offers.

    I signed right up. Now Ill be earning points for every

    dollar I spend at Kmart. Once I have enough points I

    can cash them in for some great stuff or even use my

    points when I check out while shopping at Kmart.

    Now Ill be earning points for every dollar I spend at Kmart
