I just love getting projects completed!! I also love how a well furnished outdoor area adds true living space to your home! We've been enjoying this new set up so much. As you probably know, patio furniture comes in all ranges of quality. Which is why I was so thrilled when the best of the best, Summer Classics wanted to partner with me to make my patio plans into reality!

You know how much I adore Gabby Home, right?! Well, Summer Classics is their sister company and they offer the highest quality outdoor living pieces! You can check out their website to find a store or dealer near you. The Newport Barrel Chairs are one of my very favorites! I love that they combine the traditional look of wicker with a unique curved shape that creates truly stylish & comfortable seating. In addition to the timeless style and notable comfort, these chairs are also made to stand the test of time and the natural elements because they're crafted from a durable resin wicker!

With patio furniture, just like interior furniture I like to mix and match collections together for a more upscale look. I chose to pair the slate grey aluminum finish pieces with some of the woven texture pieces like the Newport Chairs, for a design that feels fresh and unique. On a little side note, I personally prefer going with lighter cushions for patio furniture because just like dark floors, dark colored cushions show all the dust and actually end up looking more dirty than the lighter cushions, in my opinion. Conveniently the covers can be removed for cleaning as well!

I brought in a pop of pattern with the fun round striped ottomans (you can get these in tons of different fabric options!). I love that the poufs are great for putting your feet up after a long day and also can be used as extra seating when needed. We will eventually add an outdoor fireplace or fire pit table out here too!

In addition to the seating area, I was also able to add an outdoor dining spot. The table is so gorgeous! I just adore the beautiful detailed base and the table top is so heavy and perfect for outdoor use (mine is the Travertine color). I went with benches for the sides to provide the most amount of seating and then added the beautiful Newport Arm Chairs as head chairs to tie in with the barrel chairs from the conversation area. I love that juxtaposition of the textured woven wicker material and the smooth slate grey aluminum.

I added some greenery to my patio as well that perfectly sets the scene for this inviting outdoor oasis. I picked up two different affordable planters-- the cream ones that I used with boxwood topiaries and the french blue ones that tie in so well with my exterior patio doors! I actually discovered a new tree to use in the french blue planters-- it's called a dappled willow. They go from green to white to a pale blush pink tone that's so whimsical and dreamy! I also used my favorite bowl/planter on the dining table. It's made as a planter so can be outdoors-- I've also used them indoors as shelf decor!

Hope these products and ideas will help you get your outdoor living space ready for some Summer fun! Leave any questions in the comments section and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. XOXO!!
