Adam and Melissa clean up a courtyard for entertaining

Budget-friendly ideas to spruce out your outdoors space for entertaining. - by Adam Dovile
  • 03 Dec 2021

This year, Adam and Melissa are asking Santa for something very special: to be able to celebrate with friends and family at home… but before they can do this, they need a space that’s up to the job! So they’re joining forces to turn a neglected courtyard into the perfect space for Christmas entertaining.

From repurposing an old corner barbecue to giving a tired old table a facelift and more, they’re sharing loads of budget-friendly ideas to transform any courtyard, balcony or backyard into the ultimate entertaining space for the festive season.

You still can’t wipe the smile from the affable chippie who won season 2 of House Rules with his wife Lisa in 2014. They then got married in May 2015, and moved from Melbourne to Sydney to join the Better Homes and Gardens team as their resident builder, it’s fair to say that Adam’s grin isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
