A few weeks ago, I did a temporary refresh on our patio with some outdoor dining furniture. I love how the dining set looked under the pergola, but ultimately I have always envisioned an outdoor lounge area here.
Just when I thought patio season was over, our outdoor lounge furniture arrived! Believe it or not, we use our outdoor space more this time of year than during the hot summer months. And on top of that, I finished up my DIY fire table just in time for those chilly fall evenings.
The Outdoor Lounge Furniture
I don’t know why, but I’ve always pictured two sofas here. It was difficult to find sofas that were just the right size for our space. Everything I was finding was too short or too long. The Arca Vintage Brown Sofa from the Article was THE PERFECT size for our space. At about 75” in length, it’s longer than a loveseat, but shorter than some of the other sofas I was finding.
Another feature I was looking for was a deep seat, and this fits the bill there too. Lastly, I was pretty dead set on black cushions. I didn’t want to worry about kids climbing all over the sofa with muddy shoes on, and once again The Arca Vintage Brown Sofa checked this off the list too.
The DIY Fire Table
The crown jewel of the space is the DIY fire table I made. I won’t get into much detail on that now, but I have a full follow-up blog post on it with a complete tutorial. It’s the perfect fit for the space and I love that it functions as a fire pit and a coffee table.
The Outdoor Dining Area
I’ve already shared a breakdown of the outdoor dining area in this blog post. We simply just moved it over a little and fits perfectly in its new location.
I am so pleased with how this entire space came together. There are still a few more projects to tackle out here, but I can’t believe how far it’s come!
