We already owned the table, umbrella, chaise lounges and chaise pads. So I added a top layer of accessories to compliment them. Since the umbrella we already owned is black and white striped, I decided to go with that theme across the board. We started off with these two black and white striped bolsters for the chaises. They’re super comfy. I always end up using them as neck pillows when I lay down.
I added another ceramic stool in between the two chaises to make room for some pretty blooms.
We inherited these two plant stands with the house when we moved in. They were pretty rusty, so I cleaned them first with some clr rust remover and then freshened them up with some black spray paint. Much better.
To outfit the outdoor dining area I bought four of these black and white striped pillows that match the chaise bolsters and the outdoor umbrella.
As you all know, black and white stripes are my addiction these days, so I figured I’d carry out the them in the backyard too. What’s your favorite way to update your yard for Summer?

Where did you find your chaise cushions? Do they hold water when it rains?
Reichel Broussard says
I think I got them from Hayneedle awhile back. They get damp, but dry very quickly 🙂

Could you please tell me where you got the patio table and chairs? Thanks!
Reichel Broussard says
The patio table & chairs were actually a craigslist find. Sorry that doesn't help much!
