Woo Hoo! We finally have outdoor seating at Royalview!
It’s been a few months in the waiting, but it is all coming together now.
Here’s our before photo. We’ve had a couple of plastic chairs to suffice during our wait. We had, I believe, 7 projects that needed to be completed before we could set out any nice furniture. Let’s see… first there was power washing of the entire house, gutters installed (full house), whole house generator installed, propane gas tank installed, whole yard major landscaping project, septic tank pumping (that was a curve-ball), and outdoor ceiling fan replacement. Yep – that’s 7!
But hey! We made it! Hooray!! Now we get to relax outdoors in comfort and joy.
Firstly, I knew I wanted an outdoor rug to go with our indoor theme, so I chose this pretty Nicole Miller New York Country Danica Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug in the color Blue/Gray.
The rug arrived very nicely rolled and wrapped in plastic.
Willie and I were able to easily unroll and place it where we wanted. It’s a nice heft, but not too heavy to move around.
The patio furniture set we chose is a 6 piece set from MIXPATIO. It’s from Amazon of course. I do like to state that Willie and I are now Amazon Associates. We love ordering from Amazon so much that we thought it would be nice to be able to share our favorites with you.
The outdoor furniture set we chose, and they do have options, includes a sofa, a marbled-look coffee table, 2 chairs, and 2 rocking chairs. We opted for white metal with beige cushions.
I think this set is so cute! I love how the arms curl around. Reminds me of a sleigh style. The backing is beautiful, so it looks very nice when looking out our backdoor window. They even have a lovely wicker edging/trim along the bottom sides. They are very well done, and very heavy, let me tell you. I somehow managed to help Willie tote the couch from our garage to the back porch. I did have to take frequent stops to set it down, but we made it . I love that this furniture is heavy. It’s a great quality and I will not be worried about it blowing away, I can assure you. This set is made with a steel frame.
The cushions are waterproof and very easy to maintain. We’ve not had these out very long, but I’ve already wiped off something that got on one of the cushions. From where, I do not know… but thankfully it came off easily, and we just had a very big thunderstorm last night (Easter night), and everything survived in good shape. The cushions are not wet today at all, so great news.
The tabletop on the outdoor coffee table has a lovely white/gray marble look. It actually matches our indoor countertops. Yay, bonus!
So, now as our little sign says, we can sit and relax.
But what about the 2 rocking chairs, right? Well, I chose this particular set with a plan already in mind. I wanted cute rockers for our front porch, so we can sit out there and enjoy our view of the lake from our hilltop.
Aren’t these just the cutest?
We’ve already received compliments from neighbors, including this very special neighbor, Carlton.
He came by to see what was going on over here, and hang out with us for a little while.
I will tell you, this outdoor furniture set does require full assembly. We ordered this in March, and Willie’s had time to tinker around with it, getting all the pieces put together and then the covers on the cushions. Everything was shipped separately and received on multiple days, but it all came in, and in a timely manner. We weren’t in a hurry since we had other projects in line before we could get this all set out.
We’re both very happy with how this set can be used on both our front and back patios. We’re really enjoying it and happy to have comfy seating.
Till next time, stay safe, and follow your joy! God is truly good!
Johanna and Willie
