I adore living in my townhouse – at times, it can be challenging especially when it comes to designing outdoor spaces. We have a back and front yard, the scale can be somewhat smaller than most single-family units. While we do enjoy sitting out front with coffee and book in hand, I had the challenge of creating a space that would fit aesthetically and be comfortable at the same time. This is what I came up with! I had a metal bench out front for the longest time. It was okish – in the summer months, I placed a very pretty pillow cushion on it which made it comfy enough. It lacked something, and that something was no cozy vibe. You couldn’t bring your java and newspaper outside and just vibe-out!

I added some decorative pillow cushions to the back of each chair. It made a world of difference for comfort. And I love the brown/blue color combo! The blue cushions came with the set.

I went to several stores until I finally decided to visit my local Target. I found this!

I knew I could make it work. A few pillows here…and few flowers there.

According to my hubby, it was pretty easy to put together. Plus, on the Target website, they even provide you will a video tutorial guiding you along the way if you need visual instructions.

It took about an hour and a half to complete.

I get so much joy when my hubby, coffee, cigar, and paper in hand, sits out front to enjoy a few good, but stinky puffs!

This looks great. Where did you get the curved legs table behind the chair by the door?
