How about using black for your furniture and then some red and black with a splash of yellow maybe for the cushions. I am interested in seeing the stained concrete.

The colorful pottery that Diane suggested sounds really good expecially with the new cushions and painting the patio furniture. Maybe a outdoor picture hanging somewhere with all the colors that you are going to use.

That is just so precious!! <BR/><BR/>I love your patio ideas. I have really been wanting to paint my patio set as well. I think it is a great way to freshen up without spending a fortune on something new. And, especially if there is nothing structurally wrong with the table and chairs. <BR/><BR/>I love the look of stained concrete, and I have heard that it is pretty easy to do. I think that would be a great idea. I cannot wait to see what you do. <BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend, NicoleNicole ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/13644716939257314906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943287366619425835.post-51816518718003937742009-03-13T17:30:00.000-07:002009-03-13T17:30:00.000-07:00Kristen, your patio looks so pretty with the hangi...Kristen, your patio looks so pretty with the hanging baskets, and the baker's rack filled with lovely treasures.

First I am nuts about brick homes, have always wanted a cement patio instead of deck and even better with overhang above!!! I have to keep restaining the decking and it is a pain!lol If you feel you have to stain I would go a little darker grey and since I'm a nut for anything black I'd do the patio set in black and add colorful cushions! Thats just my 2 cents but I adore this patio! I'm sooo jealous!

In ...First ... let me say I love your porch/patio. In any season. I have used outdoor rugs before and if there is ANY chance yours would get wet, I would advise against it. They don't dry out quickly, yours probably wouldn't get a lot of sun (?) and when they are wet, folks track all the wet inside the house. I would consider a really colorful painted 'area rug' which would make the space even more lively with flowers. It could be multi-colored. You could also just paint the table and plant stand a contrasting color to the chairs (which are pretty complex for painting ?) Let us see what you do ...Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16619199535376925989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7943287366619425835.post-15191333215371120792009-03-13T09:32:00.000-07:002009-03-13T09:32:00.000-07:00Kristen, I like your ideas, but girl those flowers...Kristen, I like your ideas, but girl those flowers make a huge difference! <BR/>I can't wait to see what you do!
