My New Outdoor Wicker Furniture

I could not believe the difference it made in our back yard when I decided to buy some outdoor wicker furniture. We did not do anything else to the yard for about a month, but everyone that came over thought we had done all kinds of landscaping and such. The new table and chairs really made the place come together. It also gave it a bit of class while staying cozy. Once we got started with the wicker, we added a few small tables and chairs in addition to the set we had.

It is kind of funny, because I came up with the idea after visiting an old school friend who had a lovely screened in deck off her second floor. On this deck she had wicker patio furniture that made the little brunch we were having seem almost like a formal English tea. It was very quaint. I asked her where she got it and decided to stop by on my way home. I found some really nice ideas and also learned which type of wicker was more suitable for the yard as some of it needs to have protection from the weather.

Now that I have had my furniture for two months, I am planning on getting some replacement cushions. I think I will get them in a different pattern, and use them only for special occasions. Being able to change the mood and atmosphere will be nice. We had talked about getting new cushions for our old furniture this year, but I am glad we decided on getting the wicker set.
