Often it seems patio furniture choices seem to be an afterthought. I really can’t think of how many times I have attended a backyard gathering and the outdoor furniture is old and shabby, and or out of sync with the the rest of the house. Now I really don’t want to give the impression that I’m one to judge another’s space, because I’m really not. The difference however is when I see the opposite, when thought is put into the outdoor furnishings as well as what’s going on inside, I can remember my reaction being more along the lines of : Wow, they really have a nice spread here.

I can admit to a touch of vanity, I really enjoy it when people remark on how nice my place is. I like it when we have people over and i hear, “Cool House”.

We have been doing quite a bit of work on the inside of our place as of late. We also have added a nice amount of greenery and plants to the porch and backyard areas. We have talked about updating our patio furniture several times. The thoughts of our July 4th party, and the guests we expect to have all summer long are inspiring us to make our move. A final push, to pull it all together you might say.

Patio furniture has really evolved past the plastic and metal offerings of yesteryear. Which is good, because I think it’s fair to say that both my wife and I are tired of the same old looks and offerings you may find in the outdoor sections of your standard home improvement store. While perusing the offerings from West Elm and their patio furniture deals, I found both individual pieces and collections that really made my eyes pop. Fantastic contemporary pieces that are crafted using the latest European-inspired styling to give one’s backyard a sleek, contemporary look.The styling on these pieces are really attention grabbing, and integrate perfectly with the mid century modern look we have on the inside of the house.
