Outdoor Furniture Is Purchased!

March 8, 2011 by Laura

I’m so excited! The gift fairy is coming early to me this month and bringing me patio furniture!

This set from Home Depot is on sale for $299 plus free shipping! For $312 (with tax) this 5 piece set will be at our house next week, ready to set up shop on our lower/living room patio. I can’t wait!

This is a view from our upper, round patio looking back towards the house and the lower/living room patio on closing day last year. I say lower and upper because there are a whopping four stairs leading up to the one I’m standing on in the picture but it helps me clarify which one is which! The living room patio is where the couch set will rest and wait for us each day after work.

I love an outdoor rug to pull a furniture set together and it will be perfect on this patio! Outdoor furniture really is like inside furniture and the same rules apply. If we had hard floors inside, we would have a rug underneath our living room furniture. Same goes for outside. The concrete is hard so I want a soft rug. Makes sense, right? Right! Conner’s convinced this is just another scheme to get us to spend money but he does like the look of them so I’ve hooked him in to my world of creating an outdoor living space. 🙂

I like the one shown above from Home Depot. It has a cool graphic pattern and comes in several colors. We are waiting to purchase a rug until the furniture arrives so I can see the colors of the cushions and coordinate accordingly but this is a definite contender.

This Martha Stewart Chrysanthemum rug has been one of my favorites since last year. It also comes in green and is gorgeous but I have a feeling that will be way too much with the cushion colors on the couch. Next weekend we will make the decision and I’ll be sure to update with pictures!

The upper/circle patio is next on my list for furniture. This is taken from the patio in front of the living room looking towards the back of the yard on closing day. Yes, that is Conner slapping a mosquito away while surveying our new digs. A sign of things to come that we quickly got under control thanks to bleach and mosquito dunks down our french drains!

I really want a big semi-circle couch to put on that patio but those puppies are PRICEY! Enter the Adirondack chair. Classic and comfy, you can’t go wrong. Oh, what’s that you say? Ace Hardware makes them in orange?! Well, step right up and take a seat! I would love to have six of these placed in a semi-circle around the fire pit we purchased last year. With accents of gray and pink in outdoor pillows on each, this would be the complete outfitting for the most exposed patio!
