Phase 2 of The House Behind The Trees ~ The downstairs #TeelsBuildaHouse

on
So we are starting the downstairs ... I HATE to say basement because we had a basement in our old home, where you opened a door and went down stairs separated from anything else. It was a finished basement complete with a bedroom, craft room, family/game room and we spent a lot of time there ~ our oldest son moved down there in jr high and stayed through high school ... until we finished the master suite in the attic then he moved back up to the bedroom floor with his brother and sister.  So here our downstairs is open to the rest of the house, you can see through to the outside from the top of the stairs going down because we have a wall of windows down there as well.  We really didn't plan to have a kiddo down there but since we are having to do a switch-a-roo with rooms (I'll explain later) he is moving home soon and will be downstairs. Anyhoo, our downstairs will house our main family room, our middle sons room, a full bath and kitchenette.  I thought it would be fun ...

With Spring on the horizon it's time to get our outdoor living areas ready for some outdoor living ~ These outdoor sofas are worthy of some serious warm weather lounging!

I absolutely LOVE spring and summer and outdoor living spaces!  Last year I spent hours and hours pouring over outdoor furniture for our new outdoor living room and became overwhelmed by all the furniture possibilities.  I love the look of a regular sofa with chairs BUT the hubs had his heart set on a sectional so that is what we ended up with.  
Although I have another patio area that needs furniture now and since it walks out from our basement family room I want it to flow from the inside out.  Here are some FABULOUS sofa choices I found while perusing the internet for ideas and options.

Tropaz Sofa ~ Want to make your patio feel like a beachy escape? This mahogany loveseat with classic black-and-white cabana-striped upholstery feels like it was taken straight from a Key West patio. Zip-off cushion covers make spills a cinch to tackle. Buy it: $1,000; CB2



Willow Glen ~Whether indoors or out, sectionals are the ultimate loungers, conducive to kicking up your feet solo or accommodating the whole family. This solid wood set boasts a clean and classic design, plus plush beige cushions that beg for your most colorful throw pillows. Buy it: $1,170; Home Depot



Kindcaid Sofa ~ Style, meet the ultimate in durability. This teak-and-wicker-framed three-seater sofa is crafted with some of the hardiest materials around. The cherry on top is the easy-clean Sunbrella cushions, designed to resist water, mold, and mildew in even the harshest of environments. Buy it: $1,300; Wayfair




Laila Sofa ~ Add a hint of glam to your patio with this sleek gold-finished aluminum sofa frame. Inspired by the 1960s-era French nouvelle style, the metallic accent can be combined with natural textures like wood and wicker for a sophisticated mix that doesn’t feel too precious. Buy it: $595; World Market




Huron Sofa ~ Sofas aren’t often thought of as the showstoppers of a patio setup—but this one isn’t your average sofa. Made of all-weather cord handwoven around a metal frame, the contemporary piece is equal parts art form and practical workhorse. Buy it: $1,400; West Elm
