our patio

Unfortunately, this first picture with this gorgeous waterview is not our patio :)

When we moved almost two years ago, we got rid of our old 4-seater set and kept a small 2-seater table and chair set.  And this set works out fine when it's just our family, but when we have friends over we have to pull out other folding chairs to have enough seating.  Below you can read more of our current patio situation.

We started looking for a conversation patio set last summer, but WOW there are some expensive sets out there and because we couldn't find a set that we liked and that was in our budget, our patio got put on the back burner.  But with Spring soon approaching, I started the search again and we finally came across this collection on Amazon.  It has great reviews and it comes assembled.  I'm always a little skeptical about furniture that comes in several pieces that have to be put together.

So, because our patio is smaller (we hope to expand it one day) I finally pulled the trigger and purchased four of these chairs below from the collection.  Ideally, we wanted a loveseat and two chairs, but this collection only had a 3-seater sofa, which we felt was too large for our outdoor space.  Our plan is to put two of the chairs side-by-side creating sort of a loveseat.  And then the other two chairs on opposite sides of the "loveseat"  facing one another (if that makes sense?)

It's supposed to be delivered this week and I can't wait for it to arrive!  I'm picturing it with some potted plants and flowers creating a comfy outdoor space!  Once we get it all situated, I'll be back to share some pictures.

Here was my inspiration collection from Restoration Hardware that I really loved, but at $1100 per chair and $340 for a cushion it was not working with our budget.

So I'm really happy with my $200 Amazon chair and cushion. I think it's a pretty close match with a much nicer price tag!

 

One other set we also considered getting was this set below which is also reasonably priced.

I am so ready for Spring!  And I'm even more excited to enjoy it on our back patio with this beautiful new patio furniture!  What about you...are you ready for Spring?
