Chic and Affordable Outdoor Furniture

Pottery Barn Table & Chairs
Laguna Bistro Folding Table
Pottery Barn
$129.00

As the days go by I continue to get more and more excited for summer. For this installment I decided to bring you some of my favorite outdoor table/chair combos.

I was inspired by an amazing BBQ I attended last weekend complete with roaring firepit and plenty of fabulous food and chilled rose wine.

The hostess set up her backyard much like an indoor cocktail party–several tables of different heights, chairs, stools and ottomans everywhere–which promoted an effortless flow of people and conversation.

One of the most interesting touches, however, was that nothing matched. She paired rusted metal bistro tables from the local thrift store with a beautiful set of vintage wicker chairs and table she inherited from her parents, and finished with a funky, inexpensive modern set from Pottery Barn.

The effect was cool, casual and definitely chic. I hope you find some inspiration in some of the following pieces I discovered online. Enjoy!
