Allen's Outdoor Retreat

This is a large project I have been excited to share! The Allens' have a gorgeous back yard with an outdoor tv/fireplace conversation spot. The cushions that came with the black wrought iron furniture were torn and grayed by the sun and constant use.


What you are looking at now is two coordinating materials, one featuring vintage postcards with a polynesian theme and the other a Robert Allen Bamboo that is an awesome neutral for the black furniture.


A swing creates an unexpected seating option to finish out this area. We measured and created a custom foam piece for this swing. Each of the 13 cushions are double welted (cording) with a zipper in the back. Older faded pillows were recovered in coordinating materials to complete the outdoor room.



My Fvorite piece was this labor intensive 3 seat sofa. The Bamboo print is featured nicely here.


Off to the side of the living area is outdoor dining to match. 6 chairs are updated when we recovered the same cushions with the golden bamboo material. I made the square knot ties to keep the cushions in place. Awesome look that I hope lasts a very long time for the Allens who use it very often.
