Our Novel Outdoor Slice Of Furniture | Ballard, Signature Hardware, Pottery Barn & Hayneedle


This volition endure our 4th summertime inward our solid since nosotros re-built it.  We had plans of novel outdoor slice of furniture the infinitesimal nosotros moved in, but the interior took priority - nosotros did involve a sofa in addition to kitchen table, afterward all.  Then, each twelvemonth that passed, nosotros form of got comfortable amongst the slice of furniture nosotros had.  It was fine.  Sure the onetime dear seats nosotros had on the porch didn't receive got slap-up cushions, in addition to the forest was form of rotting a little.  The picnic tabular array was great, too.  We could crush 8 for dinner in addition to it was slow for kids to brand it in addition to out of.  But it wasn't that comfy for adults.  And, because of the ready it created an awkward conversation barrier for those sitting on the dear seats on the porch, since one-half of the people at the picnic tabular array had their backs to them.  




This year, I determined that nosotros had waited long enough.  As presently every bit restrain showed upward (little past times little), nosotros would receive got nice, new, grownup outdoor furniture.  

In Mike's perfect world, I would opened upward up the page of a catalog in addition to lodge everything on that page.  Easy.  Done!  He'll nation - they've picked all of this out to acquire together, who are nosotros to determine to mix in addition to match?  They've done the operate for us!  

I, on the other hand, can't assistance but non endure satisfied past times precisely what I run into on a unmarried page.  I involve to mix in addition to match, I involve to describe from i source in addition to pair it amongst another, in addition to another.  It is how I'm made : )  



My requirements were : 

Teak
All 100% unfinished Teak.  I dear that real, onetime fashioned weathered classic similar nosotros typically saw inward New England in addition to on our opor-garai to Nantucket in conclusion summer.  Classic.

Small Round Table
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 small-scale tabular array that tin grow for parties.  We receive got a small-scale household unit of measurement - the 3 of us.  We purpose our backyard every morn in addition to every nighttime of the week.  I dear our piddling Midweek nighttime dinners on the patio.  I don't desire to sit down downwards to a giant farmhouse agency tabular array amongst my piddling household unit of measurement of three.  I wanted it to experience cozy in addition to sweetness similar a backyard garden should.  BUT, I desire to endure able to receive got 8 for dinner, thus expandable was a requirement, also.  

Love Seats
We receive got loved the configuration of having 2 dear seats on our long dorsum porch.  They practice all of the symmetry things for me, flanking our French doors.  I come upward out every morn amongst my java in addition to I sit down in addition to picket the seasons change.  

Replaceable Cushions
I wanted to endure able to easily supercede the cushions each twelvemonth if needed.  I didn't desire to receive got to receive got custom cushion covers made.  So, sources similar PB in addition to Ballard were perfect for this because they receive got repeat styles each twelvemonth amongst coordinating cushions.

What I didn't find...
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 sectional.  I actually wanted to add together a sectional sofa to our patio.  I sentiment it seemed similar such a comfy sentiment - perfect for parties, in addition to for afternoon naps inward the sun.  It looks similar Ballard discontinued the sectional from the line of piece of job of dear seats I selected.  However, this was a happy accident, because I don't know that nosotros would've had room on our patio.  The tabular array in addition to chairs are thus comfy amongst our pillows in addition to topographic point cushions that they serve every bit a instant lounge area.




I ended upward mixing in addition to matching from several dissimilar sources to acquire the await I wanted.  It tin endure risky to mix in addition to match, but these turned out thus great.  I 100% dear each item in addition to the agency the operate together perfectly.

Resources : 


Did you lot acquire all of that?!


I similar to remain pretty neutral exterior (and inside?!).  I dear our creamy solid amongst creamy upholstery + the soft natural teak forest in addition to lots of lush green.  It is an slow subject that I stick amongst all summertime long.  Of course, at that topographic point are piddling pops of seasonal colors inward potted flowers similar pansies similar a shot in addition to mums inward the fall.

Emma painted some pots that she was super excited close in addition to has displayed them on the steps.




These exact planters are non available anymore, sorry.  I got lots of requests from Instagram close their source.  I dear them, too!  We practice receive got access to similar versions, but because of freight charges are also expensive to ship.  If you lot are local to KC, nosotros tin adapt a local pickup.  If you lot are interested, e-mail us at store@jennysteffens.com


The big 22" Pillows inward Natural Cream Check make the loveseats thus comfy.  I purpose the euro foursquare inserts from Ikea ($9) to create total them out.  The covers aren't technically outdoor fabric, but I'm going to run into how they do.  Someone also told me that Scotch Guard offers a spray that helps them resist fading from the sun.  I mightiness endeavour that!






This is a flowering Vinca that has a tiny blueish bloom inward the tardily spring.   I sentiment they were a fun alter from a mini potted boxwood that I would typically do.  They are similar color in addition to foliage but amongst a piddling to a greater extent than of a viney growth.  We'll run into how they do!


I tried to receive got some cute photos of Mr. Darcy, but he simply kept looking at me similar this.


And this.

I dear how classic in addition to luxurious the natural teak looks in addition to feels.  It is thus solid in addition to heavy.

I chose the Sunbrella Linen Sand cushions because I sentiment they would endure a piddling forgiving.  The white pipage actually sets them off.


To brand each chair super comfy, I am using on of my 20" Pillows inward Natural Cream Check.  It coordinates amongst the topographic point cushion thus nicely.  


I LOVE how this came together... from thus many other sources.  The checks, the stripes, the white piping.  All coordinates thus well, without beingness also matchy-matchy.  

For those of you lot that are new, nosotros built this playhouse for Emma a brace of years ago.  Here is the DIY post I created >


Emma's cherry tree is inward total bloom!  Best $90 tree from Home Depot, ever.  It has grown sooooo much.

Emma's been inward our raised beds setting upward some fairy gardens this spring.  I am simply similar a shot realizing that those are quarters... I involve to acquire start out those for the machine wash!






Well, happy Spring everyone.  Working inward the yard is perhaps my really favorite affair to do.  I'm nevertheless learning all of my gardening skills, but I dear experimenting, walking to a greater extent than or less amongst my barefeet inward the grass, potting, planting, moving in addition to peeping at everything every bit it grows.  And lounging.  Lounging on our really comfy novel slice of furniture : )
