Let me tell you, It was a rough night.  My little girl threw up all night long so my husband and I are exhausted this morning.  We had our flu shots so we thought we were all going to escape this one.  My husband leaves for DC tomorrow morning for a 5 day, 8th grade school trip (he is chaperoning) so I am praying that he and I both stay healthy.  
Anyway, I am thinking of brighter days ahead.  I am dying to furnish my backyard patio.  I want an outdoor rug in all the colors I want to use: bright greens and blues, then I need a table and chair set.  I want something very durable (the wind and sun are brutal here) and of course, pretty.  I also have my heart set on blue and white awning stripes.  Here are a few things I found that I am loving.
One of these rugs would be the perfect foundation to build the rest of my outdoor space.  They are fun and have the same colors as my indoor living room.  I think that is important because the patio opens right off of my living room so they have to look good together.

The bottom cushion is the one I want:  The blue stripes say "summer" to me.  Also, I have two fabulous blue gates along the back of my yard so I want to reference blue as often as possible.

I want a table and chair set like one of these two I found on-line.  I like both of these though I am leaning toward the bottom one.  I would also love it if I could find a set that could seat 6.  I'm thinking that this might be tough to find in a vintage set.
Which set do you prefer?

 

I don't like my patio very much right now. But I hope that if I move, I can have some place a bit nicer. With a chair or two and a small table.
