One of the final projects left to do in our empty nest remodel was the small backyard. Long story short, we were able to extend the back fence and gain about three more feet of depth which made a huge difference. It allowed us to create a seating area, a dining space and a spot for the barbecue as well as a fun buffet and storage area (not shown in the photo below) Once that was done we opted to have a stamped concrete patio poured to eliminate the upkeep of a wood deck. And then the fun part—-furniture and accessories.
Pillows from Target and World Market
As you can see from the photo above, I quickly became frustrated with the selection of outdoor pillows. They were in colors I did not want i.e. lots of blue and turquoise, and in rather ordinary patterns. Then I stumbled upon this site, www.outdoorpillowsonly.com and thought I had struck the mother lode!
This site carries designs, colors and patterns that will please any homeowner. They have stripes in every color and color combination imaginable, along with coordinating solids for a pulled together look. Florals and geometrics are sure to please the traditionalist and for those looking for something whimsical and unique, check our their Novelty line that includes dogs, birds, a quirky flamingo and even a moose or two. Not to mention, plenty of beach motifs, fun graphics and pretty scenes. And I love the size options including a hard to find bolster, lumbar and various dimensions in a rectangular pillow.
While most often associated with summer fun (hence the limited choices in color and pattern), outdoor pillows can be used all year long on front porches to create an inviting welcome or scattered about to celebrate the changing seasons. Check out this adorable snowman
