Outdoor Living // Patio Furniture Updates

 Last summer we took the leap and removed our backyard play set and replaced an Outdoor Living space with some pavers and a fire pit. Read all about that 3 part process under projects.

BEFORE: Summer 2014

It was an easy process, but, after living with it for the summer I knew what was missing.

1. More furnishings 🙂

2. The fire pit was too low

3. Side walkway needed matching limestone and sod NOT pebbles (you can see a glimpse of it behind the BBQ)

So, I needed to tackle all 3 issues starting with the furniture plan, you know, cause they take forever to delivery.
I had already tackled items #2 and #3. Blog post about that was last week. It was easy to run to Lurveys and buy sod, stones etc. The hard part as always is the furnishings.
So item #3 on the To-Do List

After hours of searching I knew I had an inspiration pic

I had already purchased the furniture for the lounge area by the fire pit so I knew I didn’t want to introduce many more textures and fabrics.

Our fire pit furniture is from the Heatherstone Collection. I love it, they are sturdy and easy to maintain.

NOW I needed a new dining table and chairs for our outdoor dining area!! We host many dinners and, a table for four was never enough. I needed something that would seat 8+, was sturdy, easy to maintain and already went with the existing feel.

I found this Hamptom Bay table online, ordered it, and LOVE IT!!! I use it almost daily.

So, now the chairs. I liked the chairs in my inspirational picture that had the same weave design of my fire pit furniture, but the color was off. I rather have something in the same color tone, comfortable, and with a little more curve then the straight edge of my club chairs. COMFORT was a must. We have a lot of “older” aunts/uncles, grandmas/grandpa’s and even 1 great grandma near by, so no joke, when purchasing this years patio dining chairs I thought of Great Grandma, I want her to sit comfortably for hours. So I found these Holden Dining Chairs.

Well, all new furnishings with royal blue cushions and matching patio umbrellas and we haven’t missed a beat enjoying it for Summer 2015!!
