I like a rather wild look, but not with all of the wildlife. Those darn bunnies eat everything!
I have my mother’s 55 year old rod-iron patio set. We buy new cushions when needed. But we keep the cushions inside. We only put the cushions out when we are on the deck.
There is nothing like a cozy outdoor place to put your feet up and read a good book. I love my gazebo and practically spend all my free time in it. Coffee in the early summer morn, a cool drink in a shady comfy spot after mowing the lawn and drinks with friends on a warm breezy night. We live in the northeast and it rains quite a bit. I have covers for the outdoor furniture that literally takes three minutes to put on and all my beautiful cushions are protected from the elements. They were inexpensive and do the trick.
