Happy Monday!
Spring is almost here and I am hoping by the end of the month it will be back up to the 60's. I am already in the mood to get outside an clean up and get it to be a place I can work when the weather gets better. I saw this outside area that I fell in love with, the clean look with bursts of calming colors. This look is wonderful outside but could be amazing as a seaside sitting room too!
Of course the sectional will be the most expensive and you could look at spending a couple of thousand no matter where you go. Keep an eye out at estate, garage, and tag sales for used pieces that you could make any color reupholstering or using slip covers. Walmart has a pretty nice brown and tan one for $1,600 though, if you are up to buying new.
For a cheaper version of the table in the original picture get a plain wood table from any craft store and then stain it with sealant. If your using the above couch you will want to stain it one step darker then the wicker color, so almost black. Target has a table for $152 that would fit well with it (see below).
For the little added touches such as the carpet, its not quite the same but its pretty none the less, for only $83 (5'3" by 7'6"). Then there are the pillows, which can get expensive. For another option, make your own! They should only take about 5-10 minutes per pillow to make and half the price. If your not sure how to do this google it, there are so many sites out there that will fit your needs.
