Outdoor Spaces

I just love this kind of furniture because it it looks so inviting, like an outdoor living room.  Unfortunately it tends to be pretty expensive.  I have been searching for deals since last summer, but haven't had much luck.  Hopefully if I keep scouring craig's list and furniture sales I will find something.


Our back patio We haven't decided whether to get rid of the hot tub or not... I vote get rid of it, but J wants to keep it.  I gave him 1 year: if we use it, it stays, otherwise its going. Its been about 5 months and we've used it maybe 4 times, so we'll see.  I've ripped out that slip resistent mat already and plan to either lay pavers or slate on top or to paint the concrete.  I also plan to paint the navy blue cinder blocks something more neutral, hang pretty string lights from the "roof," and replace the door leading outside with one that lets in more light.  Obviously the furniture is going to be depend on whether we keep the hot tub or not..

It is so hard to find outdoor furniture that is reasonably priced, attractive AND comfortable! Anyone have any good sources?
