[...] decided upon dining chairs, our patio will finally be complete! Things have changed a bit since the last time I posted about the patio furniture, so I put together a design board to show how everything works together. I’ll take photos [...]

I am a concrete furniture designer of patio furniture and other products. Your article and comments by your readers have given me some great ideas. Thank you for that.

Love your choices! I, too, vote for natural wood. I just think that painted wood outside will be more maintenance, and it looks so pretty as is. Looks like those classic slatted benches.

Jessica, the font is Sweetheart Script.

Pencils, the black chairs are very comfortable. The cheap IKEA folding chairs? Not so much. I'd like to pick up four nicer dining chairs and keep the folding chairs as backups.

Lizzie, the chairs look like woven wicker or rattan, but they're plastic - so they should hold up just fine!

We love the way you layout and set up your rooms and have had our eye on your site for some time. It has given us some ideas of how to get organized for our Inn project. Like any design, it certainly helps when you do your research and thumbnails first so the actually doing can be fun and less stressful. Thanks for all your inspiration!

Overstock.com has a garden stool very similar to the one that you have.

I love how you are picking all the colors from the pillow.
It’s great that the stool worked. As for the painting the table and the chairs – I’m all for paint but in this case, I would leave the table as is. Maybe do vertical stripes in pink and red on the chairs or maybe one red, one pink chair… I don’t know. I would rather like to see a fun outdoor market unbrella with those colors and leave the wood as is. I came across this company in Cottage Living, called WW & Co. (www.warpweftandco.com) that sells super-fun sun umbrellas. I’m not sure if you would want one but maybe someone else might like them.

Can you tell me what the name of the font is that you used for “The Patio”? I’m in love! :)

Love all of the pieces! The ceramic garden stool from Lowe’s is a “must have” in any sunroom, whether interior or exterior!

The planters are terrific, I have 2 of the bullet planters myself which I love as well – another idea – Architectural Pottery planters (I received two for my last birthday – love them!).
